The Echo Park Historical Society opens its doors for the
second annual home tour, set for Sunday, November 14th, 11 am to 4 pm.
In keeping with this year’s theme of Hillsides and
Hideaways: the 2004 Historic Echo Park
The tour serves as their major fundraiser for the year, an event that aims to promote the neighborhood’s past
and encourage preservation and restoration initiatives. Some of the homes
retain their original character, while others have been restored in a variety
of ways. In a year that has not been kind to preservation, this is of special
significance in the continuing efforts to protect their neighborhood’s natural
spaces and architectural past.
If you’ve been wondering, this is your chance to look
up-close and personal at what some have done to preserve and restore their
homes.
Tickets will be $12 in advance,
or $15 on the day of the event. EPHS needs volunteers, researchers, docents and
ticket sellers. Starting Point: Williams Hall in
