House Tours


Photo: Daniella Thompson, 2007		  

The annual house tour is BAHA’s major fundraising event, as well as a vehicle to disseminate information on important Bay Area architects and Berkeley neighborhoods (scroll down to see a complete list of our past house tours).

See photos from our most recent house tour.

Our exhaustively researched house tour guidebooks provide a permanent record not only of the featured houses but of architecture in their neighborhoods.

Tour guidebooks are available for purchase at the BAHA office, 2318 Durant Avenue, every Thursday between 2:00 and 6:00 pm. Please note: some of our tour guidebooks are out of print. Contact the office to verify availability.

See photos of our recent house tours in the Photo Gallery.
