Architecture For Lunch: Eastman Theatre/ Grove Place

June 27, 2014 @ 12:10 PM - 12:35 PM

Free

Explore the city’s glamorous East End cultural district in the heart of downtown Rochester.  We’ll meet in front of the world-renowned Eastman Theatre/Eastman School of Music,  a gift to the Rochester community in the 1920s from Kodak mogul George Eastman.  We’ll visit the last remaining VIctorian residential district in  Center City, as we stroll historic Grove Place and discover its quaint 19th-century architecture, whimsical public art, pocket gardens, and dramatic 20th century buildings.  One of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, the East End has history, art, restaurants, and activities for all ages, interests and appetites!

Meet at Eastman Place plaza, on East Main Street/corner of Gibbs Street, opposite the entrance to the Eastman Theatre.  Paid parking is available in the Main/Scio St. ramp garage, as well as on-street metered parking along Gibbs Street.

Timed to fit in with busy schedules and weekday lunch breaks, these 20-minute presentations feature information about the history and architecture of downtown Rochester.  Cynthia Howk, Landmark Society staff member and local history expert, will guide itnerested tour goers from 12:10 to 12:35 p.m.  Architecture for Lunch tours are free and open to the public; held rain or shine, for the most interesting lunch break you’ve ever taken.  Meet Cynthia at 12:10 p.m. on June 13, 20 & 27.
