Pacific Grove's historic homes will
special spring home tour set for Fri-
day, April 14.
Called "At Home in the Retreat" this
tour has been organized in conjunction
with a conference for the California Pres
ervation Foundation that takes place
next weekend in Monterey. Attendees
from the conference will take the tour;
however, the tour is also open to the
public.
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit
nonprofit organizations in Pacific Grove
- the Heritage Society, the Art Center
and Chamber of Commerce.
Ifs also a chance to see a half-dozen of
Paciic Grove's most interesting homes
and hear about their history. For
instance, you'll hear how the Queen
Anne house on the corner of Seventh
and Central was constructed, the cre-
ation of a respected architect and the
maiden lady for whom itwas built
The house, which has been the home
of Wilda Northrop since 1974, contains
unique collections and paintings, reflect-
ing Northrop's love of antiques and her
career as a painter.
Northrop said the house was designed
by the same Sacramento architect who
created St Mary's-by-the-Sea Church in
Pacific Grove. For somef reason, she
said, no one has lived there long, not
even the woman who built it originally.
"Not a whole lot of families grew up in
this house," she said, adding, "There are
no ghosts."
Over the years, she has filled it with
her collections that she's gleaned from
fleamarkets and anlique shops: Oriental
rugs, quilts, Van Briggle ceramics, even
mixing bowls.
There is also a considerable number
of paintings, many x hung salon-slyle
