Starting at the Pease House at 308 W. Ridgewood Avenue and traveling the length of North Murray Avenue, this walking tour will reveal the transformation of Ridgewood’s West Side after the Civil War from a country setting to a choice residential suburb by exploring the architecture and history of six notable homes. The 90 minute tour will conclude at 300 North Murray Avenue, the landmark Colonial Revival house built by the Palmer family and restored by the current owners. Many fascinating and fun surprises await adults and children age 10 and up. The tour, which will be limited to 30 people, will be led by RHS member and Ridgewood resident Elliot Dee, who studied architectural history at Cornell and Harvard and has led tours in New Jersey for over a decade.
