On Sunday, May 11, 2014, the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group hosted its 32nd annual home tour. More than 500 paid visitors and over 220 volunteers spent the day viewing the five homes, the Aztec Hotel, and the Monrovia Historical Museum. The weather cooperated (unlike last year when temps topped 100 degrees) with a warm but not uncomfortable day, and the delight of the attendees was readily apparent as docents provided details of the houses' histories and occupants. More than 20 vintage automobiles could be seen driving around town, and a dozen vendors set up at one location gave visitors a chance to do a little shopping on Mother's Day.

The buildings on the 2014 home tour have long and varied histories. City historian Steve Baker has done extensive research on each one, so much so that there wasn't room in this year's tour brochure for all the information. If you would like to see Steve's entire text on each structure, select the house history you wish to view:
