OHOW: What Style Is It? (Greek Revival)

OHOW: What Style Is It? (Greek Revival) January, 16

OHOW (Old House Owners Workshop) is a program of the City of Kalamazoo’s Historic Preservation Commission. OHOW seeks to create educational programs that help old house owners understand their buildings—how and when they were built, and how to keep them in good repair. Whether owners plan to do work themselves or be educated in talking with craftspeople and contractors about needed repairs, OHOW can help!

What Style is It? Greek Revival: From columns to pilasters to sidelights, Kalamazoo has its share of homes built in this “Romantic” style. Join Kalamazoo Historian Lynn Houghton to learn Greek Revival basics.

This program is made possible in part by and produced by Public Media Network.
