This year's tour neighborhood, the West Adams Avenues, is a long, narrow slip between Arlington & 13th Avenue, Adams Avenue and the 10 freeway, originally part of the Arlington Heights Township laid out in 1887 and largely developed between 1905 - 1919.

On Saturday, docent led tours through six houses depart on the half-hour, from 3 to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 3:30 to 5:45 p.m.
On Sunday, a food-less, self-guided walking tour is available from noon to 3 p.m*.

A fund raiser to benefit preservation advocacy and programs in West Adams, tickets are $85 (*$30 for the self-guided Sunday option sans grub) and must be purchased in advance. For more information, e-mail: wahaholiday@aol.com, or call 323-732-4223.
