21st Annual Hollywood Home Tour
The 2012 Hollywood Home Tour looks to be another amazing year thanks to the generosity of homeowners in Hollywood Santa Monica. Five beautiful homes with features ranging from family heirloom antiques to sleek contemporary interiors to memorabilia from the world of rock ‘n roll await attendees this year.
Homes are selected for their architectural interest as well as beautiful interiors in diverse styles. We are fortunate that so many of our residents have filled their homes with personal items reflective of their interests, taste and family history. On this year’s tour you will encounter magnificent remodels and restorations, unusual furnishings and light fixtures and what may possibly be the most impressive bathroom in Hollywood.
We hope you will join us on April 27 – 29 in celebrating our wonderful neighborhood and helping raise funds to benefit the neighborhood and three local schools – Lindsley Park Community School, JL Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School International Baccalaureate Program.
