I work in Syracuse, NY, and lived in and around the city for a few years before we bought our house. It’s not the hippest or most prosperous city, but it has it’s charms. Walking around the University area is a favorite pastime of mine; it’s filled with beautiful historic homes. Many are owned by professors and university employees, and remain very unique and well kept.

If you’re a house voyeur like me, and live in the area, this is your lucky day. They’re giving tours!!

The details:

The Preservation Association of Central New York, the South East
University Neighborhood Association (SEUNA) and the Westcott
Community Center are pleased to present the 2005 University East
Historic House Tour.

The event will take place on Sunday, October 2 from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 on the day of the
Tour and $6 for students with their I.D. Tours will begin from
the tent at 101 Berkeley Drive.

You may purchase tickets at the Schine Box Office (at Syracuse University) starting
