Flint Architecture Tour
Flint is similar to many other cities, where a community developed because of its proximity to natural resources. Yet Flint is unique because it has seen several industries come and go throughout its history. Flint's architecture is a portal to its own unique identity. The Flint Architecture Tour was developed by members of the Flint-area Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and includes many of the area's most interesting buildings including churches, theatres, historic landmarks, schools, and homes.
For self-guided tour information contact (800) 253-5468 or visit www.flint.org
