Historic Home Tour

Most often refered to as "El Mio" (mine or my place), the Queen Anne-style Smith Estate was constructed in 1887 for Judge David Hatch. Located on a hilltop in beautiful Highland Park, the home was declared a Historic Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Heritage Commission in 1975 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Since completion, the home has been the residence of a judge, a Los Angeles deputy mayor, and the shooting location of the cult film "Spider Baby." The residence is currently owned by the Parker family who has graciously offered to open their home for this special one day tour.


Tickets are $10 each.
