A sincere thank you to all who have attended and helped to organize The Syracuse Southside Walking Tour.
With our 3 part series we were able to learn nee facts we may have overlooked for years, appreciated the beautiful architecture that remains, and witness the transformation of the area due to blight.
As we continue to plan our programming we aim to have more walking tours that aid in educating residents and students and making beautiful connections with the residents for years to come.

This Saturday’s Part 2 of The Syracuse Southside Walking Tour was a 🔥 one.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. This tour’s focus highlighted the challenges the Southside of Syracuse has faced. What was once a neighborhood for wealthy business class white homeowners turned into a neighborhood that suffered years of neglect, due to flight, redlining, blockbusting, and steering. Today, its rebirth can be attributed to a multitude of community partners, investors, and brave homeowners taking the leap to create healthy, affordable, and quality homes. Lot’s of development and still lots of historic charm and preservation linger.

Special thanks to:

Dr. Sam Gruber: Our incredible architectural historian who mapped out this route and shared his deep knowledge of the Southside.

The Damianis .mcallister.house for sharing their story and their renovation.

The Greater Syracuse Landbank : For sponsoring our headsets
Next and last tour—May 24th (time pending)
If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, head over to www.pacny.net to secure your spot. Meeting details will be sent out prior to the tour.
Thank you for supporting the Preservation Association of Central New York and helping us celebrate the stories of our city. See you on the 24th!

And just like that, Day 1 is in the books! 🏛️✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today for the Syracuse Southside Walking Tour: South Salina St. Historic District. It was such a delight to see such a diverse group—from Southside neighbors and long-time Syracuse residents to city officials—all coming together to dive into our local history. Even if you’ve lived here your whole life, there is always something new to discover and today, we all learned a lot!

Special thanks to:

Dr. Sam Gruber: Our incredible architectural historian who mapped out this route and shared his deep knowledge of the Southside.

Lakshman: For graciously opening up his stunning home on “Doctors’ Row.” (Did you know Doctor’s Row was a thing? We didn’t until we did. Thanks Lakshman—who is also a doctor.)

Onajava Soul Cafe: For the hospitality and keeping us refreshed with complementary beverages! ☕

The Greater Syracuse Landbank : For sponsoring our headsets—they were a total game-changer for today’s experience. 🎧
Next Up: May 17th (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
Our next tour is just around the corner, and I’m especially excited for this one because we’ll be stopping at a very special former Landbank house! 🏠
If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, head over to www.pacny.net to secure your spot. Meeting details will be sent out prior to the tour.
