Downtown Pasadena's Early Architecture (CA) (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
At sunset, the San Gabriel Mountains form a rosy sculptural backdrop for Pasadena, a city of stately street trees and lush gardens. Attracted by a paradisiacal climate, health seekers and wealthy Easterners flocked to its resort hotelsâ€•the Green, the Maryland, the Huntington, the Painter, the Raymondâ€•and built grand residences along Orange Grove and Grand Avenues. Scores of commercial and industrial buildings rose downtown, punctuated by public works, civic buildings, schools, and churches that doubled as works of art, like the Colorado Street Bridge, the Christian Science Church, and the California Mediterraneanâ€“style city hall. Preservation efforts have succeeded in putting Old Pasadena and the Pasadena Civic Center on the National Register of Historic Places, and continued restoration has made the cityâ€™s unique architectural treasures a major attraction in Southern California.
