Historic Architectural Walking Tour of "Professorville" District of Palo Alto!

“I Never Noticed That Before” – A Fun Architectural Walking Tour

Discover the charm and hidden treasures of Palo Alto’s Professorville Historic District, a neighborhood steeped in history and architectural beauty! Known for its quaint tree-lined streets and early 20th-century homes, this area was originally home to Stanford professors (hence the name!). Today, it’s a National Register Historic District, showcasing a rich mix of architectural styles.

Join architect Martin Bernstein for a lively 1.5-hour walking tour where you’ll uncover fascinating details about the district’s design, learn surprising stories from its past, and spot architectural features you’ve never noticed before.
