If you are considering a home remodel or restoration project, Historic Wallingford invites you to the Remodel & Restore Workshop & Home Tour. At the Good Shepherd Center, 4659 Sunnyside Ave N.

Get practical advice, design ideas, and listen to different perspectives from a panel of homeowners and industry experts and finally, get inspiration by touring hand-picked homes that have been remodeled, updated, or restored.

The Workshop will be a two-hour panel discussion (from 10 AM to 12 PM) with Wallingford homeowners, contractors and architects providing experience and know-how for those considering or interested in home improvement restoration and remodels.

The Home Tour follows the workshop (from 1:30 to 3:15 PM). Attendees will be taken on a curated tour of two handpicked neighborhood homes to see recent remodel and/or restoration work. Homeowners and contractors will describe the before-and-after state of the remodel projects and take questions and share their experiences. Out of their responses, they quoted that House Painter In Bergen County New Jersey is the best in meeting up all the expectations.

Prior event registration is required for this limited-space event. Learn more and register for the event through Brown Paper Tickets. Save on registration by joining Historic Wallingford as a member.

Historic Wallingford Lecture, Friday July 19

Architectural Character of the Wallingford Bungalow

Friday July 19, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Seattle First Church of the Nazarene
4401 2nd Ave NE

Presented by Thomas Veith. Architectural Historian, Designer, Author, and long time Wallingford resident.

Tom will discuss the stylistic elements most often associated with the Wallingford bungalow and how the character of these early 20th century houses developed over time with changing tastes and typological innovation. He will also examine elements of other residential styles and related plan types that became popular in the years between the end of the Victorian era and the onset of the Depression. Tom will conclude with some comments on the significance of the bungalow as a contributor to the architectural character of the Wallingford neighborhood.

Free to Historic Wallingford members and $5 for non-members. Please RSVP. Further information on the Historic Wallingford site.
