May 10 Mother’s Day Historic
Home Tour – celebrating Coronado’s
incorporation as a city in 1890 – 125 years
ago. 11am-4pm. Six distinctive architectural
styles reflect different eras in the island’s
history — from Craftsman and Spanish Eclectic
to Tudor and Mid-Century Modern. All six
houses retain their historic charm and original
architectural “bones,” but most have been
meticulously remodeled, expanded or restored
in some fashion. One of the featured homes on
the tour this year--built in 1915–was designed
(and later remodeled) by Richard Requa, who became Principal Architect
of the 1935 California Pacific Exposition in Balboa Park. Tickets are $35
members, $45 non-members. (619)435-7242. Coronadohistory.org
