Gorgeous house museum. First floor focuses on furnishings showing how the family lived plus a diverse and global art collection procured by the Allis family. Upper floor is more minimalist, showcasing temporary exhibits and contemporary local artists. This dual-function house means locals can return with confidence that they’ll see something new each time. And visitors and locals can glimpse into the past thanks to the first floor. Admission here gets you admission to the Villa Terrace Museum, just make sure you obtain proof of ticket purchase. Or even better - purchase a membership! Recommend!

Speedy, breezy customer experience! I was looking for a Black-owned bookstore (ideally womxn-owned) which carried the title I was looking for and this was just the ticket! The site is super easy to navigate and I ordered the book I wanted from San Francisco because she ships to wherever you are in the continental US. Ordered late at night on Saturday, was happy to only pay media mail shipping ($3.95 I think - she doesn’t gauge you on shipping fees) and it shipped on Monday. I received multiple email communications during that time to let me know where in the process my order was which was very thoughtful. Definitely will shop here again!
