OHOW: What Style Is It? (Italianate)

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? Italianate: Italianates come in many shapes and sizes, some of which are represented in Kalamazoo. Windows and eaves play a strong role in identifying this style, and Historian Lynn Houghton will show us one great example.

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