Brattle Street's famous "Tory Row" of old colonial homes, steeped in the tradition of America's Revolutionary days, will open some of its doors to the public next Tuesday from 11 to 5 o'clock under the auspices of the Cambridge Girl Scouts.
The old Vassal house at 94 Brattle Street, dating from 1642 and one of the most elaborate of the fine Tory homes, will be on display along with its collection of choice and rare American furniture.
Another classic example of colonial architecture open for inspection is the Apthrop House on Plympton Street, built in 1760, known as the "Bishops Palace," quarters of Lieutenant General "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne during the Revolution, and now the Master's lodging for Adams House.
