Mission Hills Heritage Annual Historic Home Tour
The Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego features a rich variety of early 20th century architectural styles built during the neighborhoods rapid growth. This year, Mission Hills Heritage is showcasing the Colonial Revival style. Merely hearing the term Colonial Revival, evokes visions of earlier east coast Colonial homes of white wooden structures or perfectly positioned often grand red brick homes with well-kept green lawns and graceful trees. However, Mission Hills was fortunate to have had talented local architects and builders as well as those who migrated to design and built approximately seventy-five Colonial Revival homes.
Mission Hills Heritage warmly welcomes you to the Mission Hills Twelfth Annual Home Tour to view both the exterior and interior beauty of this historic American home style, and how San Diego architects and builders applied the Colonial Revival style in Mission Hills. A few notable characteristics of a classic Colonial Revival style includes paired chimneys, medium pitched roofs, five windows on the second floor with the middle window located directly above the entry door, bay windows, and Greek columns framing a centralized entry door.
Participants will be greeted by Mission Hills Heritage docents who will accompany tour guests through each home sharing intriguing information. As an additional feature this year, there will be a special tour of the 1915 historic Mission Hills United Methodist Church, a significant landmark in Mission Hills. The tour is self-paced and the homes can be visited in any order. Please note that the distances between the homes will likely require driving.
