The Romanesque Building on Harper Avenue.
August and September offer a fun selection of WEHO walking tours of famous landmarks and stunning world-class architecture. From Deco to The Doors, from Mid-Mod to movie stars, lots to see!
1. GOLDEN AGE OF (WEST) HOLLYWOOD
August 6 SATURDAY -10:30 AM
Long before there was Weho there was another West Hollywood, also full of stars & bars. We venture on foot to the playgrounds of the legends, from the Roaring Twenties to the Sunset Strip riots-our most popular tour.
2. DOORS TOUR
August 13 SATURDAY – 3PM
Dress in your rock finery as we rock out to the music of The Doors and visit the favorite hangs of Jim and the boys. A dozen sites in a dozen blocks, this was Jim’s creative home. Follow the Lizard King’s footsteps- bring your own Jack Daniels!
(Extra optional $15 fee to enter grounds of Cherie Amour, last known US residence of Jim Morrison.)
3. GOLDEN AGE OF (WEST) HOLLYWOOD
August 20 SATURDAY 10:30 AM
Reprise of our most popular tour.
4. A THICKET OF FICKETTS

Mid Century Modern Mania as we visit the Space Age Bachelor Pads of Ed Fickett, AIA. These fanciful 50’s apartments epitomize So Cal living. Dress 50’s if you can!
