SUMMARY:Historic Tours: Lakeview Avenue
DESCRIPTION:Virtually farmland through much of the nineteenth century\, Lakeview Avenue (formerly Marvin Street) quickly became the elegant north corridor leading to the city proper. It is bordered on the north by the lovely nineteenth century Lake View Cemetery and on the south by Sixth Street. Most of Lakeview’s large and architecturally diverse homes were built through the first three decades of the twentieth century for prominent Jamestown merchants and professionals. A prestigious Lakeview Avenue address certified its owner’s stature. Cindy Rodgers will give the tour. \nParticipants will meet at Christ First UMC parking lot at 10:00 a.m. \nThe Fenton History Center conducts historic walking tours from June to August. The cost is $8 for members and $12 for non-members. Participants can pre-register online\, at the Fenton\, or by phone at 716-664-6256. There is a limit of 20 people for each tour. \nFor the first time\, we are introducing the Full Circuit History Pass\, which provides individual access to all of the Fenton Historic Walking Tours throughout the 2026 season. Each pass is valid for one person. The cost is $50 for members and $80 for non-members. \nThank you to our sponsors: Rodgers Land Surveying\, Ahlstrom Schaeffer\, and Weber Knapp
