We’re off to hunt Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture in Glendale and Burbank with the Glendale Historical Society. Explore civic buildings, theaters and more with us! Twelve sites will be visited in all.
There are a limited number of seats on the bus, so Art Deco Society of Los Angeles members will have first dibs.
Our tour guide is Arlene Vidor, past president of the Glendale Historical Society as well as a former two term City of Glendale Historic Preservation Commissioner who nominated City properties to the Glendale Register.
