How To Read a City - A Virtual Downtown Tour with Emily Elwyn

THIS TOUR IS FULL!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS TOUR. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON OUR NEWSLETTER FOR MORE UPCOMING VIRTUAL TOURS!

What can a city’s buildings tell us about the history and evolution of that community? Join PTB’s favorite architectural historian, Emily Elwyn as she teaches us how to “read” a city by examining its buildings. You’ll develop a new perspective on sites you thought you knew, like the Snell Arcade and the Open-Air Post office, and be introduced to some you may not be aware of, like the Hotel Dennis and the Domestic Science and Manual Training School.  

This live tour, conducted via Zoom webinar, blends live in-person visits to historic sites with historic photos and documents to give a rare glimpse into the history of St. Pete.  

Open exclusively to members of Preserve the ‘Burg, the tour itself will last about 45 minutes.  Our first virtual tour filled up quickly, so reserve your spot today! If you are not a current member, just make sure to join or renew before you try to register: Become a Member
