The Santa Monica Conservancy’s first Preservation Next road trip heads to Bakersfield for a day with four mid-century homes: Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1961 Ablin Residence, Richard Neutra’s 1937 Davis Residence and 1958 Leddy Residence, and the 1953 Eggert-Sanchez House by Wright admirer Whitney Biggar. The guide is David Coffey, Neutra expert, owner of the Davis House and caretaker of the Ablin House. The day includes a no-host lunch gathering and a visit to the RAM Gallery. Proceeds benefit Preservation Next, the Conservancy’s group for emerging and mid-career preservationists; everyone is welcome.
