Tours

The L.A. Conservancy hosts nine regularly scheduled, docent-led walking tours of architecturally rich neighborhoods, whether it's the Victorian mansions of Angelino Heights or the Art Deco edifices of downtown L.A., which include the stunning Oviatt and Eastern Columbia buildings. The dates, times and locations vary. It's $10, but $5 for LAC members and children younger than 12. www.laconservancy.org.    -- Elina Shatkin, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
