— The Pearl Chase Society is an all volunteer nonprofit conservancy dedicated to preserving Santa Barbara’s historic architecture, landscapes and cultural heritage.
On Sunday, May 15th, The Pearl Chase Society will host its 16th Historic Homes Tour- showcasing seven distinctive homes in the Santa Barbara area.
The tour will take place from 11 a.m. – 4 pm and tickets are on sale at www.pearlchasesociety.org. It is anticipated to sell out and many preferred start times have already been filled.
According to information gathered from www.pearlchasesociety.org,
The tour features seven amazing residences, three homes in Santa Barbara and four in Montecito, and presents a collage of Santa Barbara architecture. Four Moody Sister Cottages will feature the entrepreneurship of a close-knit Santa Barbara family of sisters who created a
series of “storybook houses” at a time when women were generally excluded from the business world. Built using inspiration from the sisters’ favorite English fairy tales, the high beamed slanted ceilings and creative storage spaces give the cottages a picturesque yet expansive feel.Also
featured on the tour is a charming west side craftsman home, a mission-side family home of note plus an elegant, recently renovated residence on the upper east-side that demonstrates Santa Barbara’s determination to exhibit the glamour of its European heritage.Those who purchase
tickets online will receive their tour start locations and directions by email two weeks prior to the May 15 event.
