Join Explore Buffalo on the first Saturday of autumn to tour home interiors on one of Buffalo's most beautiful streets: Lafayette Avenue. In the heart of the Elmwood Village, Lafayette Avenue is lined with spectacular homes in a variety of architectural styles, mostly from the late nineteenth century. A variety of these wonderful homes will be open for tour patrons to tour from 12 to 4 PM on Saturday, September 22. At 12 PM, a lecture on neighborhood history and architectural style will be presented by Chuck LaChiusa, Explore Buffalo Master Docent and creator of the website buffaloah.com. The lecture will take place inside Lafayette Presbyterian Church, which will also be the ticket pickup location. The interior of Lafayette Presbyterian Church will be open for the entire tour - even the basement log cabin that is home to Boy Scout Troop 2, the second-oldest Boy Scout troop in America!
