Historic Homes on Display This Weekend

Private historic homes in Palos Verdes Estates will be open to the public this weekend as part of the Palos Verdes Art Center's Homes Tour Extraordinaire.

Three homes will be featured 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The residences were selected because of their historical significance in the early development of the area. Built in the mid-to-late-1920s, all three are variations of the Spanish Revival architecture popular in the era.

Included in the tour schedule is a short walking tour of Malaga Cove Plaza featuring the Neptune Fountain and Italianate buildings.

Tickets for the program, including an alfresco box luncheon provided by three catering establishments in the Plaza—Malaga Café, The Ranch Market, and The Yellow Vase, are offered at the pre-sale per person price of $40 for members of the Art Center and $45 for non-members.

Tickets sold the days of the tour are $50 each. Tickets are available at the Art Center, 5504 W. Crestridge Rd., in Rancho Palos Verdes, or by calling 310-541-2479. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.pvartcenter.org.

The tour is produced by The Circle, a fundraising organization of The Palos Verdes Art Center and Community School of Art.
