Birdhouse Auction
As part of our centennial celebration, we have commissioned ten Casa-themed birdhouses to be auctioned off in support of our ongoing preservation efforts. Inspired by the recently resorted birdhouse designed by the Casa’s original owner, George Fox Steedman, ten of the region’s most beloved artists have created one-of-a-kind birdhouses.
The silent auction will close online at noon Sunday, September 7, 2025.
I am unable to attend but would like to support Casa’s Centennial Gala!
