An Architectural Tour of Boston

Attendees of the Boston architecture lecture on Thursday, April 24 will have the opportunity to join us from 9-11 am the following morning (Friday, April 25) for a free architectural tour of the city. The tour will leave from the Brewer Fountain on the Boston Common next to Park Street Station.
Due to limited capacity, tour registration will be capped at 30 participants (tour registrations accepted on a first come, first served basis). Only attendees of the Thursday lecture will be eligible to register for the tour.
In the case of bad weather, we will lead a group over to explore Harvard Art Museum.
Tour registration is required.
