The East Hampton Historical Society will host its 2015 House & Garden Tour, showcasing some of the finest examples of historical and modern architecture in The Hamptons. This year's tour — comprised of five unique residences — is scheduled for Saturday from 1 to 4:30 PM. A kick-off cocktail party on the eve of Friday welcomes in this year's highly anticipated House Tour and rings in the East End holiday season. The annual event, now in its 31st year, will be held "Where Lily Pond Lane Meets Georgica Beach," a stunning summer house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Built in 1920, this "cottage" was all about its spectacular waterfront view. John Custis Lawrence, a well-known architect, played with almost Swiss-looking balconies and Arts & Crafts columns to achieve a modern take on a summer house. Tickets to the Opening Night Cocktail Party cost $200 each, which includes entry to the House Tour the following day. Tickets to the self-guided 2015 East Hampton House & Garden Tour cost $65 in advance and $75 on the day of the tour. All ticket proceeds benefit the East Hampton Historical Society. Tickets can be purchased via www.easthamptonhistory.org or call 631-324-6850.
