THANK YOU ALL FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL LA MESA HISTORY CENTER HOME TOUR
Once again a beautiful and memorable La Mesa Saturday as our sell out crowd soaked in seven wonderful and historic properties that represented the community's architectural heritage and community spirit. Thanks again to all our ticket holders, sponsors, dedicated volunteers, institutional partners, and especially our community-minded homeowners.
— La Mesa History Center Board of Directors
The La Mesa History Center featured its 19th Annual Home Tour on Saturday November 8, 2025.
The La Mesa History Center was proud to present the 19th Annual Home Tour, “Golden Gems of La Mesa,” featuring classic homes in and around La Mesa’s “Downtown Village.”
Ticket holders experienced some of La Mesa’s most historic, beautiful, and preserved La Mesa gems including a 1910 landmark, recently confirmed as a design of world renown San Diego architect Irving J. Gill. Ticket holders also experienced the works of noted architects William Wheeler, Arthur Lindley, F. D. Harrington, and pioneering La Mesa and San Diego home builders including J. B. Davis, Henry Russell and the Dennstedt Company.
This year the History Center begins the celebration of our non-profit organization’s 50th anniversary with this edition of our popular home tour.
All Tickets holders were transported to the homes via shuttle buses that ran continuously through the tour route.
The Home Tour Shuttle Center was at the City of La Mesa’s Municipal Parking Lot at the northeast corner of Allison & Date Avenues.
This Year’s Tour Sold Out!
If you don’t want to miss out on next year's tour — mark your calendars now for the start of November.
La Mesa History Center also offered a limited number of tickets for the Friday Night Pre-Tour and Reception.
Participants got a chance to meet and thank the Homeowners and got a guided tour of the properties with historian Jim Newland.
Friday Night Premium ticket prices were $125 and included a ticket to Saturday’s tour.
