Tour map, illustrated guidebook, and refreshments will be provided.

This year’s tour focuses on Elmwood Park, the elegant residential tract lying between College Avenue, Russell Street, and Claremont Avenue, and Webster Street.

Open on the tour will be ten houses representing a spectrum of styles and ages, from the first house built in the neighborhood (an Italianate Victorian dating from 1878), through an assortment of Arts & Crafts houses built shortly after the tract opened in the first decade of the 20th century, to a stucco English Cottage built in the mid-1920s.

The tour will feature the work of several important Bay Area architects, including Bernard Maybeck; Julia Morgan; Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr.; John Hudson Thomas; Maury I. Diggs; and others.
