Pasadena Heritage: Hillcrest Neighborhood Walking Tour

Join Pasadena Heritage for Pasadena’s Architectural Legacies, three virtual Zoom programs and a walking tour featuring often-overlooked people and places of diversity that helped build Pasadena’s community.

Discover one of Pasadena’s most beautiful neighborhoods with the Hillcrest Walking Tour, which features grand homes in a variety of architectural styles. The Oak Knoll subdivision, of which Hillcrest is part, was intended to rival the wealthy neighborhoods of Orange Grove and the “West Side” (San Rafael and Linda Vista), so many of the estate-size lots were intended for custom home development. Showcased on the tour are numerous mansions along with large Craftsman homes such as the Freeman House designed by architects Arthur and Alfred Heineman and the Culbertson House and Blacker House both designed by Charles and Henry Greene.

Walkng tours are available at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Purchase your tickets online.
