A restored 1887 Victorian estate in Old Town Monrovia is opening its doors to the public on Independence Day.
The Arthur Blair Historic Inn, located at 508 S. Ivy Ave., will host a grand opening charity soiree on Saturday, July 4 from 6 to 10 p.m., with self-guided tours, refreshments and live chamber music.
The event honors the late Steve Baker, whose family home was once the same property. Following his death, co-owners worked with the Monrovia Old House Preservation Group over three years to restore the Victorian estate.
The inn also includes a new cottage, bar and bistro.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Monrovia Historical Society’s Anderson House, supporting its ongoing restoration and Baker’s vision of an immersive home tour experience set in 1887 Monrovia, event organizers said.
Tickets cost $55.20 and are available at eventbrite.com/e/grand-opening-charity-soiree-tickets-1991384883794.
