This is a grand old home turned Historical Foundation. Concrete Bungalow style. The house itself has been featured in many books on California Bungalows.The family history is interesting as well.Every Memorial Weekend Sunday they have an annual Summer White Picnic, Dance & Art Show.I always enjoy myself when visiting.

This lovingly restored house tells the story of the Lanterman family. One can savor the past if they visit for the Summer White Picnic on Memorial Day weekend. Dancing to a ragtime tune in the upstairs ballroom, sharing lunch with many historically dressed people and touring the house with the help of the friendly staff bring history to life.

If you have a chance, visit this unusual interesting home. First floor is about 8500 sq ft but with the ballroom upstairs and the basement it totals about 11,000 sq ft. All the family's original contents remain since its construction in 1915. Home tour is not self-guided but is guided by friendly knowledgeable docents who allow for back and forth discussions during the tour. Allow approximately 1 to 1.5 hrs to see the entire house but tours are flexible to fit your timing needs.

Its hard to imagine that anything in La Canada is that old. The home has been restored and a lot of work by the volunteers to find out about the place and how it evolved in the history of La Canada

The hours are limited, Tuesday, Thursday, and first and third Sundays. I usually have a third Sunday commitment but on one third Sunday I was off and we visited the Lanterman House, to find it closed. I was between jobs so we found it open the following Tuesday. The house is a Craftsman style, popular in the area, built in 1915. The tour started wit ha video and then took us through the furnished rooms, through the upstairs ballroom and sleeping porch, and into the garden which was being restored at the time of our visit. The tour covered the history of the area and showed the period medical office in the house that was used by a former resident. We enjoyed the tour.
