Hand built over a 12-year period, from about 1898 to 1910, El Alisal stands along the Arroyo Seco and was the home of Charles Fletcher Lummis – an author, editor, activist, photographer, civic booster and founder of the Southwest Museum.

The architecture of El Alisal is a reflection of Lummis’ passion for the history and cultures of the American Southwest, as well as the beginning of the Arts & Crafts aesthetic in Southern California. El Alisal is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, a California Historical Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

2024 MOTA DAY ACTIVITIES:

  • Self-guided tours of the house will be available

  • El Alisal’s volunteer archivist, Dennis Harbach, will answer your questions about the many notable visitors to the house.
