Long Beach’s first residential development, Willmore City dates from 1881. It contains a cross-section of early 20th-century residential architecture, including variations on the Victorian style as well as Craftsman, period revival, even a Sears kit house. This 2.5-hour docent-led tour visits the interiors of the magnificent Bembridge House (a national landmark) and a fully restored Queen Anne “workman’s cottage.”

Admission is $15; proceeds support Long Beach Heritage’s work to preserve the rich cultural heritage of our quickly changing city. Please visit our website for details and reservations.
