MCNALLY MANSION, designed by Frederick L. Roehrig, 1887 The famed McNally Mansion, designed by Frederick L. Roehrig in 1887 for Andrew McNally of the Rand-McNally Map Company of Chicago, is a featured location on the tour. The 2 ½-story Queen Anne-style home retains remarkable integrity both inside and out. Though the property and the gardens have changed over the years, it remains a remarkable showplace. Original photos and postcards of the house and grounds will remind guests of this great estate’s prominence and grandeur as one of Altadena’s earliest mansions. [Photos by Cameron Carothers] |

| SPANISH BUNGALOW, 1922 Also in Altadena, tour-goers can visit a charming 1922 Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow with drought-tolerant and drought-loving front and back gardens designed and cared for by the creative, design-conscious owner.
