Holiday home tour to benefit library

The Gilbertsville Free Library will present its annual "Dressed for the Holidays" tour of historic Gilbertsville from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday. Tickets are on sale at the Gilbertsville Free Library for $6.50 in advance, or $7.50 at the door. Children younger than 12 will be admitted free. Proceeds will benefit the library.

The tour will take participants to eight historic sites, starting at the 1818 library building, where maps will be provided and refreshments will be served.

Participants will have two hours to visit several historic Gilbertsville homes decorated for the holidays.

At the 1893 Tudor-style Gilbert Block building on Commercial Street, visitors can see the "Celebration of Christmas" exhibit featuring trees designed and decorated by artists and area organizations. The renovated 1830s Empire House country inn on Marion Avenue will be open for walk-in visitors.

On Maple Street, two Classic Revival homes will be open for visitors: Winona Slaughter's small 1840s home, and Covingtons' 1840s home with late Victorian addition.

The First Presbyterian Church on Marion Avenue, designed in 1882 by White and Grodevant of Syracuse, will be open for visitors, who can view the church's 10 opalescent memorial stained-glass windows.

The tour will also include Ken and Noel Held's 1850s Italian Villa house, and two early 1800s Classical homes, one at the Butts Farm on Back River Road and the John Stuart Rowe home on state Route 51 near Upton Park.

For information, call 783-2832 or 783-2976.
