theme and guest leader but the goal is the same: get us out walking and enjoying our community together.
Join us for our upcoming walk on Wednesday, June 23 at 5:30 pm. Meet at the Fielding Institute (2112 Santa Barbara Street) to join guest tour leader Anthony Grumbine (Harrison Design Associates) to learn more about the architecture and design found in Santa Barbara. Beginning at the historic Winsor Soule Hodges Residence (currently the Fielding Institute), the walking tour will include a walk-through of this beautiful example of 1920’s Spanish Colonial Revival estate. The route will then continue down Santa Barbara Street, to East Constance, then to Anacapa, to upper State Street, and finally back to the Fielding Institute. Along
the route we will see a wonderful variety of architecture styles, from a Francis Underhill Stripped Classicism, to a Richard Neutra mid-century modern, to French Norman, and Dutch Colonial. Both the variety of particular styles, as well as the many
Architect Jeff Shelton leading the group in the courtyard of El Andaluz
