About this event
Saturday, October 24, 202610:00 am to 12:00 pm$25.00 per personRising on a bluff above the valley carved by the Chartiers Creek, the Borough of Thornburg is a little piece of Southern California in southwestern Pennsylvania. The planned suburb was created in 1899 by Frank Thornburg and his cousin David on land that had been in the family since 1806. Early houses built here were in the Queen Anne Style. By 1904, however, the Pittsburgh Gazette celebrated the "model and aristocratic suburb" for its "most unique collection of houses near Pittsburgh." The variety of historical residential styles would soon be augmented by homes inspired by Frank Thornburg's personal passion: the contemporary Mission-and Craftsman-style houses he saw and studied Confirm dates and details on the official listing.
