“I’ve come to realize I don’t have a specific favorite style of architecture. i seem to be drawn to many. but I will say this, whittier, much like pasadena, has an array of styles that i can appreciate.”
~Chris Vigil
Why?
Simply put, the love of architecture fueled the passion that gave birth to the Whittier Tour of Homes. All throughout Southern California we are exposed to some of the most diverse and beautiful architecture in the world. Many styles are well represented throughout this region of the state.
Most notably in the city of Whittier we have Craftsman and Spanish Revival, followed by Ranch and some Mid-Century modern sprinkled around town.
Looking back on the history of Whittier we see the Craftsman and Spanish Revival dominating the landscape.
There are plenty of Home Tours around Southern California but none focused on Whittier. Whittier Real Estate Broker Chris Vigil decided to put this tour together to share the history of Whittier home building with whomever would be interested.
This accomplishes two things; 1.) We get to show off beautiful homes in neighborhoods we live in and 2.) At the same we get to raise money for worthy causes.
