Will Call is located at Sacred Heart Parish School. If you want to purchase tickets on the tour they can be bought at the house on 39th Street (there will be signs).
The neighborhood is called the “Fab Forties” since many of the grandest homes in the downtown area are built on streets numbered in the 40s.

The "Fab Forties" neighborhood actually goes from 38th street to 47th street in East Sacramento.
A ticket gets you entry into five beautiful houses that are decorated for the holiday season. And you can expect them to be very aesthetically pleasing since the houses are decorated by local professional decorators.
