The La Mesa History Center (formerly Historical Society) home tour enters its 16th year. The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 5, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year the event returns for an in-person home tour centered on, and partnering with, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>century old institutional landmark Grossmont High School and its original \u201cCastle\u201d school <\/span><\/span><\/span>building. Once again, the tour features a mixture of classic, revival, contemporary, <\/span><\/span><\/span>and modern designs emblematic of these rural suburban \u201cfoothill\u201d neighborhoods. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to partnering with Grossmont High School in recognition of the centennial of their <\/span><\/span><\/span>original, restored, \u201cCastle\u201d building (which opened in September 1922)\u2014and which will be <\/span><\/span><\/span>included in the tour, the Brier Tract and Grossmont\/Mt. Helix communities present a unique <\/span><\/span><\/span>opportunity for realizing San Diego\u2019s distinctive suburban residential dreams. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the Brier Tract and Grossmont\u2019s early 20th century plans for creating rustic bohemian artist colonies of arts & crafts influenced organic residences though the popular \u201crevival\u201d styles homes of the inter-war years or the post-war mid-century modern visions of \u201cnuclear family\u201d nirvana\u2014this year\u2019s tour provides an invitation into this local architectural heritage\u2014and some of the area\u2019s most noted builders and architects.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For these 20th century home makers and builders, the rocky, hillside view lots provided a natural canvas for California\u2019s legendary indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Tapping into that intersection of organic architecture and arts and crafts aesthetic made logical sense in fulfilling the rural <\/span><\/span><\/span>suburban dreams of these varied periods of community development. Individual lots and creative, innovative and forward-thinking residents and designers found the semi-rural landscape perfect for these eclectic versions of suburban bliss. Visionary designers and builders of San Diego found design palettes, and willing clients, here in Brier Tract, Grossmont and Mt. Helix.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
