About the Tour
Tour the interiors of five historic houses in Mission Hills. The self-driven tour features homes with an abundant diversity of architectural styles dating from a 1914 English Tudor to a 1949 early Modern. Mission Hills is one of our great San Diego neighborhoods where a prolific number of works by locally and nationally significant architects can all be found in one geographic area. Sites by Morris B. Irvin, Richard Requa, and John Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright are just three that visitors will get to tour. This year's tour is a must see for architecture lovers.
Notes
- No trolley service is provided this year as the homes are all in the same neighborhood
- There is no ADA accessibility as these are private homes
- Parking is on street only as these are all located in residential areas
- Please consider all of this before purchasing your ticket. As always, there are no refunds, if you are unable to use your tickets you may consider it as a donation to SOHO.
