Events Calendar

Please mark your calendars to join your fellow members of the Historical Society for our annual holiday party on Sunday, December 11th at 1:00. This year we will be enjoying the festivities at the much-loved 100-year-old Tam O’Shanter in Atwater Village. This was Walt Disney’s favorite place for lunch and the plaque on table 31 is a testament to it.  Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, fresh salmon, roasted chicken, Martinis and rum toddies, etc.

At the young age of 22 actress Nancy Olson had the great fortune of being cast in the ingenue role in a film starring William Holden, Gloria Swanson and Erich Von Stroheim. That motion picture was the epic Sunset Boulevard. For this picture she was nominated for an Academy Award. The film Sunset Boulevard has always been near and dear to the residents of Windsor Square and Hancock Park since it was filmed in a mansion once located at the intersection of Crenshaw and Wilshire Boulevard.

Member Price $25
Non-members $45

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.
