Architecture fans and anyone who is interested in how the face of Winnipeg has changed over time is invited to attend a guided tour of some of the city’s most historic areas.
The Winnipeg Architecture Foundation works to preserve and direct attention to the city’s heritage buildings, and it has organized a tour that will highlight structures that employed terracotta in their design. It has been noted that the city boasts some of the best examples of this on the continent, and historian Gail Perry will serve as the guide for the activity.
The group will be visiting several locations in the community’s downtown core, and there will be a discussion of how terracotta was used to produce a variety of facades and other architectural elements. The run time for the function is 90 minutes, and wheelchairs, strollers and other mobility devices are welcome.
Attendees of an outing like this may appreciate receiving a booklet that provides them with additional information, and these can be prepared by a brochure printing company. Such materials can then be handed out to the attendees before they head out, and they can make notes as they go along.
This free guided tour of Winnipeg’s terracotta architecture has been scheduled for the evening of September 8th. The gathering point will be set up at Pantages Playhouse Theatre.
