Saturday, October 13, 2018
10:00 am – 12:00 pm
$10/pp - RSVP in advance on EVENTBRITE (okay for walk-us, but we would like to know you are attending- call us at 818 .347 .9665 or send us an email at info@TheMuseumSFV.org).

Author and docent Chris Lukather will take attendees on a fun and educational walk through a Sherman Oaks neighborhood that has a cluster of southern California builder William Mellenthin’s ranch style “Birdhouse” homes.
At the end of the walk, we will enter one of the homes for a more in-depth discussion and an opportunity for attendees to meet author Chris Lukather and to purchase a signed copy of his book. Cost of the book is $30. He spent three years researching in order to create this terrific book. .
In the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s housing developments began peppering the available land outside of Los Angeles. Affordable, family-friendly communities like the San Fernando Valley initiated an exodus to the suburbs. It was in the Valley that designer-builder William Mellenthin developed his singular brand of cozy, charming home which became known as the Mellenthin Birdhouse ranch home—so called because they featured a cupola or dovecote built prominently into the roof.
