The doors to La Jolla\u2019s rich architectural history will open Nov. 18 with the second annual Open Doors La Jolla, a free one-day walking tour through the Village\u2019s cultural zone with knowledgeable docents to guide participants as they get an up-close look at La Jolla\u2019s longstanding cultural heritage and historical architecture. From 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., participants at the community event will have the rare opportunity to peek into La Jolla\u2019s past with stops at eight of the Village\u2019s historic buildings, including the Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla, The Bishop\u2019s School, the Cuvier Club, Wisteria Cottage, La Jolla Presbyterian Church, La Jolla Woman\u2019s Club, Museum of Contemporary Art and St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. Knowledgeable local architects \u2014 including Laura DuCharme-Conboy of DuCharme Architecture, Lydia Straus-Edwards of Design-In-Tandem and Straus-Edwards Associates Architects, and Shari G. Grant of Architectural Presence \u2014 will guide participants along the tour through a number of significant architectural styles that are prevalent and unique to La Jolla, such as Irving Gill\u2019s early modernism, Russell Forester\u2019s mid-century modernism and Robert Venturi\u2019s post-modern style. Other interesting architectural designs include one-of-a-kind beach cottages and buildings of Mediterranean-inspired design. Guests can also design their own itinerary for a self-guided tour throughout the cultural zone.
