Every third Saturday (except August) of the month join a docent lead tour of this Oakland Historic Landmark Building. Wear sturdy shoes for there are many stairways and steps to cover in our almost two blocks "inside cemetery" mausoleum.

 A remarkable vision was fashioned at the beginning of the 20th century in Oakland at the end of Piedmont Avenue—the California Memorial Columbarium, now known as Chapel of the Chimes. Designed by the gifted Julia Morgan and later expanded under the creative vision of Frank Lloyd Wright protégé Aaron Green, Chapel of the Chimes has been serving families in need for over a century. Chapel of the Chimes is a community treasure preserved from the past and entrusted hereafter to present and future generations. Beautiful gardens, alcoves, stairwells, fountains and chapels rising into vaulted ceilings and illuminated by natural light await you!  Space is limited for these docent-guided tours. Reservations are highly recommended. Please phone to let us know if you can join us.
