Saturday. November 4th 12pm to 4pm
The Windsor Square Hancock Park Historical society proudly presents our annual home tour on Saturday, November 4th from 12:00 to 4:00. This year for our home tour we have scheduled an outing which has not been attempted since 1976. Because of the stately homes in Hancock Park and Windsor Square there are a wealth of Consulate General homes. There are eleven in all but not all will be on this year’s home tour. As usual for the home tour there are a handful of stately historic houses, lunch and refreshments as well as a silent auction. Prosecco will also be served. Day of sale ticket purchases, lunch and the silent auction will be held at 355 S. Windsor Blvd. Names of the country consulates and addresses will be provided within the program at this address when attendees receive their wrist bands. Security is tight on this tour so photography and video of any interiors of the consulates is strictly forbidden.
If you have anything you would like to donate to our silent auction tax receipts are available. The Historical Society is a non-profit 501 c3. Proceeds go to the greening and improvement of various spaces in and around our area. Most recently the Historical Society donated funds for the bistro lighting above the city parking lot on Larchmont Blvd.
Day of event tickets, lunch, and silent auction will be at 355 S. Windsor Blvd.
Tickets for the Consulate Home Tour are $65 for members and $85 for non-members.
