Join builder, Brian Vaughan and architect, Ellen Happ for an insider’s tour of several local home renovation and building projects in and around Doylestown Borough.  Projects range from interior remodeling, to expansion, to new houses sympathetic to the historical character of the community and its traditional architecture. Program focuses on the “before and after,” as old housing forms are updated for contemporary living.   After the program, visit the Mercer’s new exhibit, House & Home.   Both the program and exhibit are included with museum admission.
