Come by for a free tour, no reservations required! Explore the last intact shotgun house in Santa Monica, which now serves as an award-winning Preservation Resource Center for our community.
Built in 1897, the little house features three original rooms where you can explore Santa Monica history and learn about preservation. Look behind the walls and the floor to reveal vintage materials, and see if you can find the one original window in the Shotgun House. Young guests will also enjoy the miniature model house decorated with Victorian-era furnishings that were popular when our shotgun house was first built!
Our friendly and knowledgeable docents will share information about what life was like in the early 1900s, how the house was saved and rehabilitated, and answer any questions you may have.
Walk-ups are welcome and reservations are not required.
