Take a Virtual Tour of Bungalow Heaven |
|
|
|
Did you know our Chicago bungalows had their beginnings in California? Bungalows were born out of the nature-focused Arts & Crafts Movement, of which the homes of the Bungalow Heaven Landmark District in Pasadena, CA are prime examples.
This year, the Bungalow Heaven Neighborhood Association's annual home tour will be held online, so even us Chicagoans can see inside these historic homes!
Streaming April 22-28
