The 2006 tour was a brilliant success, with approximately 600 attendees. The Silvertop reception was glorious. The brochure, designed by David Etzen of Redbar, also served as the entry pass to the homes on the tour. CSSLR does not conduct a tour annually.

Silver Lake Modernism - Then and Now followed in the tradition of two previously sold-out events, the last of which was held in 2000.  This year's event showcased the work of vintage Modernist masters and a new generation of architects that have embraced the aesthetics of the Modernist movement. Some of these homes had never been available for viewing by the general public.  Works by Gregory Ain, Ed Fickett, Harwell Hamilton Harris, Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Raphael Soriano, Rodney Walker, as well as works by contemporary architects, including Ana Henton and John Southern were featured.  That evening from 5:00 until 7:30, was also the Gala Reception at John Lautner’s fabled Silvertop.
