You all did great with Question 1 of the Preservation Virtual Scavenger Hunt! We hope you liked learning more about Alhambra Preservation Group and its history! If you haven’t answered question one yet, it’s not too late to go back and participate!
You’ll have to search a little deeper to find the answer to our second riddle. Telling us (1) the architectural style of the house and (2) the name of the APG award its homeowners won means you’ve solved this one! Remember, the answers can be found on APG’s new website. Put your best sleuthing skills to the test!
Every year when leaves fall
APG highlights Alhambra’s best
Who have toiled with love and sweat
Restoring their homes without rest
In 2011 APG featured a home
With a decidedly English style
Located in Alhambra’s Orange Blossom Manor tract
Where oranges once grew for miles
This home with its steep roof
Gables and beautiful half-timbering
Caught APG’s attention
And received an award worth remembering
These awards celebrate Alhambra’s heritage
A few homes at a time
And calls attention to our city’s legacy
Of architectural gems so very fine
If you’re having a difficult time with this one, we’ll post an additional clue on our Facebook page this afternoon at 3 p.m.
