The Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) will hold its 43rd annual Spring House Tour and Garden Reception on Sunday, May 6, 2018, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

Twelve open houses in a variety of architectural styles will be open on this year’s house tour in Berkeley Woods, the bucolic, village-like neighborhood at the top of Marin Avenue, adjoining Tilden Regional Park.  

Open houses include a large English manor house built in 1917; four Spanish- and Italian-inspired residences built between 1923 and 1930; an innovative International Style house from 1939; two Mid-Century Modern houses designed by leading architects of the genre in the 1950s; two one-of-a kind modern houses; a Craftsman Revival house from the 1970s, and more. 

Several glorious hidden gardens will be open, including one created by a famous iris hybridizer. 

Tour map, illustrated guidebook, and refreshments will be provided. General admission $45; BAHA members $35.
