Earlier in April, the City Council, on the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission approved the designation for the first two blocks on Encinitas. This is the city’s second Historic District, joining Wildrose as a Historic District.
All six of the homes on the tour were built between 1901 and 1921. The Anderson House Museum, home of the Monrovia Historic Society is also on the tour. It is located on Lime between Ivy and Canyon.
More information about the homes on the tour can be found in the on line edition of this publication.
