Book a tour of Jeff Shelton’s iconic buildings
Magical “Fig District” Walking Tour
Santa Barbara has something that no other city in the world has - Jeff Shelton’s joyful and evocative architecture.
For over 25 years, Jeff and his band of gifted artisans have created a unique “take” on Spanish Revival architecture with vibrant colors, visual drama and a sense of humor that will put a smile on your face.
The “Fig District” is Jeff’s name for the collection of buildings he and his team created in downtown Santa Barbara - within walking distance of his Fig Avenue office.
His goal is for the viewer to see and feel the “hand” at work, and the joy in doing it.
Join Tish Lynn for a magical walking tour of the Fig District to view six of Jeff’s iconic buildings and his incomparable studio/office.
Jeff has personally sanctioned Tish to give this tour
