Bruce Richards Architecture & History Walk

Trace the legacy of San Diego architect Sim Bruce Richards on a 3.5-mile self-guided walking tour through Point Loma’s Wooded Area. Using GPS-triggered audio, you’ll pass several of Richards’ custom homes while hearing stories about the families who lived there, key design details, and later renovations. Along the way, the tour weaves in local history, from Katherine Tingley’s Lomaland community to the storied Rosecroft estate and its terraced gardens. Quiet residential lanes, leafy canyons, and surprise viewpoints over downtown San Diego and Coronado make this route as scenic as it is informative, whether you’re an architecture buff or a curious local.

This tour includes research and insights contributed by Keith York of Modern San Diego.
