PHF puts on awesome events involving architectural history, tours, old homes, etc. The program admission is $20 and all proceeds benefit the Pleasant Home Foundation, whose role is to oversee renovation of the National Landmark, Pleasant Home. If you are in the Chicagoland area this Sunday, this program should be great. The weather is supposed to be spectacular - perfect for walking around one of the nicest neighborhoods in the country.
Here are a couple teasers for you:
