How can a porch be both a perfect place to relax and the focus of the front of a home that elevates its design and serves to welcome visitors?  Learn what makes a perfect porch at Naperville Preservation’s next Timeless design talk, with architect Tom Ryan. In this talk, you'll understand the parts and pieces of a perfect porch by looking at examples in Naperville's Historic District.

Walk the Talk  #7

On the Saturday, April 25th, we’ll Walk the Talk (short walking tour) to see best examples of porches in the Historic District. No separate R.S.V.P. will be necessary, but the details will only be announced to those attending the April 21st event, or by special inquiry.ems…like supporting heavy materials or keeping out the rain.

As a follow up to the Talk, we’ll "Walk the Talk" (short walking tour) the following Saturday morning, March 7th to see the houses and details that make this neighborhood so special to our community.
