About this Event

Naperville’s Historic District is a wonderful place to explore some of America’s most beloved architectural styles including Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian, Colonial Revival, Prairie, and Craftsman.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an informational and entertaining way to explore those houses in pictures then in person? Well, you guessed it…there is!

Please join Naperville Preservation Inc.’s Tom Ryan as he continues his ten part series Commandments of Timeless Design for Houses of Any Age with Commandment #6, Know What Roof Types to Use…and Not Overuse. He’ll begin 2026 with a new street by street focus of our beloved Historic District. First up, the houses along Center and Ellsworth Streets!

As a follow up to the Talk, we’ll Walk the Talk (short walking tour) the following Saturday morning to see the houses and details that make this neighborhood so special to our community. No separate R.S.V.P. will be necessary, but the details will only be announced to those attending Thursday March 5th's event or special inquiry.

NPI Members, use your NPI member promo code for free tickets!
