If you are excited for our Great Houses Tour but can’t wait until May 19 to get an inside look at spectacular architecture, we recommend this “Tour of Tourison Homes!” This event is a benefit for East Mt. Airy Neighbors organized by our friends over at Community Acupuncture of Mt. Airy (CAMA).

Ashton Tourison, Sr., was a Mt. Airy resident and real estate developer who constructed his own unique home on Ardleigh Street. In approximately 1904, he set his sights on developing Sedgwick Farms, comprising much of the land known today as East Mt. Airy.

Ashton’s marketing plan described “stone-built homes, planned on an architectural idea that makes each different from the other, yet in perfect harmony with all.”
Join us for the pleasure of viewing a pictorial history that vividly tells the story of the evolution of East Mt. Airy created by Ye Sedgwick Farms Company, leaving a legacy of beautiful, enduring homes that we continue to enjoy and appreciate today.

Learn about this amazing man who had a vision that has endured over 100 years. Enjoy slides from a hundred years ago along side pictures of those same houses today.
