Holiday House Tour

Coming December 14, 2008....

PAST is proud to announce that the 2008 Holiday House Tour will take us to new territory--Palo Alto's Greenmeadow, Green Gables and Edgewood neighborhoods! Two of the featured properties were honored with PAST Preservation Awards in May 2008 as well as being located in the two newest National Trust listings for Palo Alto. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the cultural, social and architectural legacy of Joseph Eichler.

Tickets are $20 through November 30 and then cost $25. If you choose to become a member of Palo Alto Stanford Heritage, you will receive a complimentary ticket with your individual membership and two tickets if you join at other levels.

    An Edgewood Eichler

 

This will be the first all-Eichler tour! We will be celebrating our National Register Eichler treasures by touring a house in Green Gables, two in the adjacent Edgewood neighborhood and four in Greenmeadow in South Palo Alto. A total of seven houses! The two Edgewood houses should be especially interesting because one is exactly as built in 1956 and the other has just been remodeled. None of the houses on the Habitat for Humanity tour last August will be on our tour.

The 5th Annual Holiday House Tour was held on December 13, 1992 and featured five Professorville homes. The homes represented early 20th century styles favored by Stanford professors. Styles included were the Shingle Style, Colonial Revival, Georgian/Colonial Revival and California Mission revival. On a historical note, one was the home of the author of the Stanford Hymn.
