Bullocks Wilshire Tea and Tour

TEA AND TOUR SATURDAY (EXCLUSIVE EVENT)

Saturday August 3rd

Attendee’s travels to the past begins with a docent-led tour of the restored architectural jewel that is the Bullocks Wilshire Building. This fully guided tour is only offered to the public once a year and includes every major section of the restored building. It includes rare glimpses at the original walnut laden office of John Bullock, a prime view of the Bullocks Wilshire tower from the Dean’s private balcony, the southwestern flair of the Salle Moderne, and the chinoiserie of the Coco Chanel Room.

Each of the first five tours culminates with a luncheon, and the last tour ends with afternoon tea - all of which feature specialty items from the original Bullocks Wilshire menu served seated on linen and china in the legendary Tea Room.

In order to accommodate as many guests as possible and due to space capacity, there is a limit of four (4) ticket purchases per registration. Any attempts to purchase more than the maximum, regardless of start time selections, will not be honored and registration will be cancelled.

BULLOCKS WILSHIRE OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND

SATURDAY AUGUST 3rd & SUNDAY AUGUST 4th

Since its construction in 1929, the Bullocks Wilshire Building has been a proud part of Los Angeles history. It was designated a Los Angeles Cultural Monument in 1969 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. Today, the Bullocks Wilshire Building is both a beloved iconic landmark for the city and a vibrant academic center for training future leaders of the community. In 1994, Southwestern Law School purchased the landmark Bullocks Wilshire Building from the R.H. Macy Company- an event that marked the beginning of a new era for the law school and the building. Since then, the former department store has undergone extensive restoration and renovation, reclaiming its original art deco glamour in an adaptation that has created a stunning law library, a functioning courtroom, classrooms, offices, and spectacular public rooms for a variety of functions.

Because it is part of the Southwestern Law School campus, the Bullocks Wilshire Building is not open to the public on a day-to-day basis. However, once a year, the building is open to the public for two special events.
