*Please note that these CHC walking tour brochures were printed over 20 years ago. The house colors, days, hours, and admission charges (if any) listed for some of the referenced sites are likely out of date. Please check with the individual institution for up to date hours of operation and admission info.

**Though out of print, Robert Rettig's Guide to Cambridge Architecture: Ten Walking Tours (1969, 1980) is a good book for self guided architectural tours of the city. The book can often be found in used bookstores or online.
