In partnership with Preservation Erie and Our West Bayfront, Erin Phillips of Old Erie on Foot will lead a biking tour of historic and interesting homes of the West Bayfront. Erin is the managing editor and a contributing writer for the Erie Reader – Erie’s only local, independent alt-newspaper. She is also the creator of the Instagram and blog of Old Erie on Foot, which explores the historic residential architecture of Erie, PA. Born from her love of taking walks in her historic West Bayfront neighborhood with her family, since its creation in 2018, the account has evolved into an in-depth house history research project, in which she uncovers the hidden stories of a home’s past. She is also secretary of Preservation Erie, a local non-profit dedicated to preserving the character of Erie’s built history. She can be reached via her website www.olderieonfoot.com, via Instagram @olderieonfoot, or via email at erin@eriereader.com.
