Claremont Hills: Historic Homes Above the Claremont Hotel Open on May 19 for BAHA Tour
The Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) will hold its 38th annual Spring House Tour and Garden Reception on Sunday, May 19, 2013, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.
Ten spacious and elegant residences and their parklike gardens will be open on this year’s BAHA spring tour. The houses are all survivors of the 1991 Oakland Hills Fire. They were constructed between 1909 and 1941 for well-to-do families by leading architects of their day, including Albert Farr; Louis Christian Mullgardt; William C. Hays; William R. Yelland; Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr.; Vickery, Atkins & Torrey; Clarence Tantau; William E. Schirmer; Archie Newsom; and Louis Engler.
Tour map, illustrated guidebook, and refreshments will be provided. General admission $40; BAHA members $30.
