Torrance Historical Tour

This biennial, self-guided event is open to the general public and begins at the Torrance Historical Society & Museum (tickets purchased day of event or via PayPal – all tickets picked-up in Museum day(s) of event – 1345 Post Ave., Old Torrance).
You will tour the inside of a half-dozen homes, and will see how others have renovated, updated and decorated their historic homes to accommodate today’s life-style, yet managed to preserve the charming architecture and characteristics of the past.

The homes on the tour reflect an eclectic mix – from Spanish Colonial Revival to Craftsman Bungalow to Mission Revival – which characterize and add to the charm of Old Torrance — founded 1912. Homes on the Tour were built between 1918 and 1936. Each home will have a Model A car parked in front of it courtesy of South Bay Touring A’s.
