Among the buildings scheduled in Doors Open are elegant residences and inns, churches containing magnificent stained glass windows, Industrial Age factories, municipal buildings, museums, schoolhouses, and sites that played a role in the Underground Railroad. Also a wide variety of architectural styles are represented including 18th and early 19th century, Victorian, Neo-Classical, Art Deco, Romanesque and Gothic Revival design, Italianate and Greek Revival styles.
With this year’s theme, “The Art of Architecture," visitors will be sure to see many different styles of art including historical, mechanical, and horticultural.
Many of the sites being displayed are registered as National Historic landmarks and others played important roles in the history of both the U.S. and Canada.
