LANTERMAN HISTORICAL MUSEUM FOUNDATION

Description

The Foundation operates the historic Lanterman House and Archives. The 1915 bungalow is one of the oldest remaining houses in La Canada Flintridge, CA. It was built by Dr. Roy Lanterman, whose family were among the original settlers in the La Canada Valley. Constructed primarily of concrete, the Craftsman-inspired bungalow is built around a central patio and surrounded by colonnaded pergolas. The house features remarkable hand-painted frescoes and ceilings in much of the interior, and remarkably, retains almost all of its original furnishings.

The house and visitor center is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. The Lanterman House also sponsors special events and mini-exhibits about the history of the area. The local third grade classrooms all visit the house once a year as well.
