The Berwyn Historical Society announces the 5th annual Historic Berwyn's House Tour, “Bungalows and More” to be held on Sunday, September 25,  from 12 noon until 5 pm.

Berwyn, recently named Best Neighborhood for Bungalows by This Old House magazine, boasts one of the largest concentrations of Chicago-style bungalow homes in the nation. The 2011 tour will showcase the well-preserved Art Moderne Silhan House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as a range of bungalows and other vintage homes.
