Members Only Tour: Downtown Architecture Walking Tour

Members are invited to join Sam Fitzpatrick, Education Coordinator, for a DOWNTOWN ARCHITECTURE WALKING TOUR. Today just like in Bay City's past, we have a booming downtown. Old buildings filled with charm dot the main streets of Washington, Center and Madison Avenues. Everything that a successful "heart'' of a city needed could be found here: drug stores, markets, clothiers, restaurants, grocers, government offices and entertainment venues. Local architects Pratt & Koeppe left an architectural legacy, and were famous for constructing many of the sites to be seen on the tour. Albert Kahn of Detroit (Fisher Building, Cadillac Place and the Belle Isle Conservatory among others) even had a hand in some designs here. Besides beauty and splendor, the featured buildings also hold stories that shaped our city's and county's history. The tour will share information highlighting the history and importance of these structures.
