A historic walking tour of Santa Clara

A couple of weeks ago, Helen Silvera enjoyed her auction prize from the 2015 Love the Library Lollapalooza – a guided tour of the “Old Quad” in Santa Clara. Mary Hanel conducted the tour, and Helen brought along her friends Lee Broughman and Noreen Silva. Helen says, “it was a wonderful tour and Mary added to the experience with pictures and personal notes of the various owners of the houses that we viewed.”

There were many houses included on the tour, including the Morse Mansion (pictured above) and the Frank Mansion (below).

It was a lovely day and a great way to learn about some of Santa Clara’s historic properties!
