In celebration of Glendale's 100th anniversary, the Glendale Historical Society will open the doors of some of the city's top architecturally significant homes (so reports the new Valley News website).
The tour, which takes place Oct. 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., will include Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.'s Derby House (above):
The self-driving tour on Saturday, Oct. 7 and Sun., Oct. 8 will showcase outstanding residential architecture from various eras in Glendale history. Some of the homes included are:
1. The 1927 Derby House, designed by Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright *
2. The 1941 Rodriquez House, designed by Rudolph Schindler
3. The 1993 award winning Rice Residence, a glass and concrete house by local architect Jerrold Lomax
4. Two outstanding landmark Craftsman homes, Hewitt-Baker House* / Elliott House.
5. The 1903 Ard Eevin House, by the architect of Brand Castle, Nathaniel Dryden (both days).
6. The 1928 Peterson House, a Spanish Colonial Revival.*
Tour committee chairperson Patricia Messina decided it was appropriate to showcase Glendale's architectural diversity and open up various styles of houses that would have been built over the last 100 years.
Homes will be open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both days and docents will be available to take small groups through at each home. Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 9 a.m. on each day of the tour at Ard Eevin House, 851 W. Mountain St., Glendale. (Ard Eevin is the only house that will be open at 9 a.m. and receive visitiors on both days.)...
TGHS believes this tour will illuminate Glendale's architectural evolution throughout the past 100 years by showcasing houses that are historically significant or illustrative of an architectural movement.
Tix are $20 for Glendale Historical Society members, and $25 for non-members (for both days and all homes). Half of the homes will be open on Saturday, and half on Sunday.
