Since 1990, the Bungalow Heaven Home Tour has been giving guests a chance to experience Pasadena’s past through its architectural history and celebrate homes that have been preserved and restored in our community. Featured houses showcase the unique architectural details and period-appropriate renovations for which our neighborhood is famous.
The interior of eight homes will be featured on the self-guided walking tour, with volunteer docents on hand to explain the history and architectural highlights of each home. This year's theme, Historic Hearths and Homes, highlights some of the unique fireplaces created during the early 20th Century in Pasadena and Los Angeles area. Consistent with the Arts and Crafts movement, you can observe period materials and designs that make our fireplaces the center piece of each home.
Along the route, participants can speak to restoration experts about how to maintain a historic home and view demonstrations of restoration work. Throughout the day, McDonald Park will be hopping with music, a silent auction featuring unique items and local food trucks for lunch.
Whether you're a local or visiting from out of town, the 34th Annual Bungalow Heaven Home Tour promises a memorable experience. So mark your calendar and get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty and history of this remarkable neighborhood. We can't wait to see you there!
Tickets are on sale for $25 Advance, ending Saturday, April 27 at 9pm. Day of Tour tickets are $30. These tickets may be purchased at McDonald Park starting at 9:45am. There are no children's priced tickets.
Bungalow Heaven was designated as a landmark district in 1989 to preserve early 20th century bungalow homes. This collection of houses is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and named as one of the “10 great places in America” by the American Planning Association (APA).
The neighborhood was built between 1888 and 1956 and has been known as Bungalow Heaven since the mid-1970s. Coined by a city planner, the name reflects the abundance of one- and two-story Craftsman homes in the compact, square-mile neighborhood.
The Bungalow Heaven Neighborhood Association (BHNA) is a non-profit organization composed of community volunteers dedicated to preservation of the homes in its district, education about Pasadena architectural history, and organization of neighborhood forums to address current events and advocacy. - Tea and Tour of the Reagan LibraryRonald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, CA
