Tour
It is that time of year again, a time when those from
near or far get to come together for what is sure to be yet another
spectacular occasion celebrating the South End
neighborhood of Boston. The 45th annual South End House Tour is set
to take place this coming Saturday, October 19th from 10AM until
5PM, rain or shine!
Hosted by the South End Historical Society, this event
allows individuals to get back to their roots and appreciate all of
the architectural gems and unique characteristics of homes
throughout the South End that truly
make it the special, famed place that it is today. All of the
proceeds from the day go towards the Historical Societys ongoing
efforts to preserve the South Ends historical
integrity and to further spread the word of its remarkable
background and influences. Along with the Spring Ball thrown by the
Historical Society, these two events help to provide upwards of
one-third of the total annual operating budget of the group.
To us at Gibson Sothebys International Realty with our
flagship office located right here in the South End at 556
Tremont Street, special events as such are of significant
importance to us. Not only do many of us work in the South End, but a vast
majority of us work with clients from here and even live here
ourselves. Therefore the drastic efforts that the South End
Historical Society make each year for the protection of this
landmark of a neighborhood could not be closer aligned with
everything we wish to do to further support this area of the Hub.
In fact, this year our own Cathy Marotta, who is
also based out of our South End office,
will proudly be representing Gibson Sothebys International Realty
and has graciously donated her time to volunteering at the event
this coming Saturday.
For those looking to purchase tickets in advance, a fee of $25
per person is asked, and for those who will pay come the day of the
tour, just $30 is required per person. The tour will commence at
10AM at the Boston Center for the Arts, located at 539 Tremont
Street. All House Tour attendees also gain free admission to the
Ellis Boston Antiques Show! For further information on this
marvelous day and to buy your tickets in advance, do look to the
