SEVEN DECADES St. Stephen's Guild Tbur Will Be Event Of April 30 Decades of Homes in will be the theme of the annual house tour of St. Guild which this year will be held Thursday afternoon, April 30. The earliest decade to be represented will be the when the first building boom occurred in the area. The other homes to be shown will represent subsequent years ending with a modern home built during the current construction climb.

Hostesses at the six homes will wear fashionable gowns from each period. Wealthy San Franciscans built their holiday retreats on Belvedere Island 60 years ago and their homes were of the Victorian and Edwardian period which featured luxurious comfort, country style. Today Belvedere is no longer an island and the homes for the commuting San Franciscans flect modern convenience, suburban style. The homes to be shown to represent this transition will soon be announced by Mrs. Harold Fletcher, tour chairman.

This tour should have special appeal for students of architecture and period decor and local historians as well as the house tourist.
