Architectural tour to benefit Carmel Unified School District.

The Carmel River School PTA, with support from Carmel Realty Company, will host a home tour open to the community at large. The home tour is intended to provide a glimpse of the varied architecture, design and craftsmanship that exists in Carmel today. The proceeds will be used as seed monies for an endowment that benefits Carmel Unified School District students.

The tour will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28. The homes are located throughout Carmel-by-the Sea, Carmel Point and nearby areas, including Casa Felice and homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Julia Morgan.

Each home will be staffed by volunteers, primarily CUSD parents. The number of homes on this year’s tour is six. Tickets will be sold to participants in advance at Carmel River School (Corner of Monte Verde & 15), Carmel Realty Company (Dolores between 7th and 8th). Advanced purchase: adults $30, children 16-8 $10. On the day of the event: adults $35, children 16-8 $15. Children under 7 can attend for free.
