The Lanterman family planned and built their house with unique features that allowed them to take advantage of the fine Southern California climate. The house is completely surrounded by a patio, which can be accessed by an astonishing number of French doors - thirty-two in total!
The Lanterman House offers guided tours of the fully restored building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tours are led by trained docents and last approximately 75 minutes. Self-guided tours are not available. All tours begin at the Visitor Center located inside the converted garage at the rear of the property. Visitors can also enjoy a preliminary history video in the Visitor Center.
Tours are offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 1pm. Please email lantermanhouse@gmail.com if you would like to request another date or time than is listed here.
