Phillips Place
The tour will be led by Steve Strimer, member of the Historic Northampton Board of Trustees and The David Ruggles Center. Steve enjoys identifying the work of William Fenno Pratt who laid out Phillips Place in 1847. Many houses of distinction in the proposed district are Pratt designs or commissions.   Residents are encouraged to bring any artifacts they have and to share stories they know about the neighborhood.  The tour is co-sponsored by Historic Northampton and the Ward 3 Neighborhood Association.
