    Pasadena Raises Minimum Wage - Story on Page 6 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2016 VOLUME 10 NO. 6 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SIERRA MADRE’S AWARD WINNING SENIOR LIVING FACILITY For years, the site of what is now known as ‘The Kensington’ was an eyesore in the middle of Sierra Madre. Once the home of a skilled nursing facility and a hospital, the building sat boarded up for years while the property owners tried to find a buyer that would come up with a use that was compatible with the ambience of the town. Finally, after months of discussions and community meetings, the Kensington developers presented a plan that was overwhelmingly approved by voters (77% of those voting approving) and complying with the conditions of the city’s downtown preservation ordinance, Measure V in 2012. Construction began in 2013 and the first residents moved into the facility in February, 2015. As the physical impact of the new facility was of utmost concern to Sierra Madre Then and Now: Above Kensington Senior Living Facility on W. Sierra Madre Blvd. residents, it is with great pride that on their Photo courtesy KSL Below: The old skilled nursing facility which was an eyesore and first anniversary, the announcement thatpotential hazard inin the middle of town.

  • Playhouse Village Self-Guided Tour
    Playhouse Village Walking Tour Pasadena, settled by a group of farmers from Indiana in the 1870s, originally developed along the Arroyo Seco to the west. Playhouse Village contains approximately 34 buildings, which represent the eastward growth of the City’s urban character and amenities during the 1920s and 1930s, after Pasadena’s economy had changed from agriculture to tourism. Development of this area was spurred by the construction of Pasadena’s grand and imposing Civic Center in the 1920s, promoting the construction of residential, religious and cultural facilities in the area we stand in today. Tour commences in front of USC Pacific Asia Museum, 46 N. Los Robles Ave. USC Pacific Asia Museum (46 N. Los Robles) – The leading Pasadena architectural firm of Marston, Van Pelt and Maybury was commissioned in 1924 by art dealer Grace Nicholson to design her Treasure House of Oriental Art. It was to be her dream Chinese palace, a combination private residence and art gallery. Modeled after buildings in Beijing’s Forbidden City, it is 32,570 square feet, and features an authentic Chinese court garden and a roof made of green bamboo- patterned tiles. Walk north to the corner of Los Robles and Union and look west, to City Hall and the remaining portion of the Maryland Hotel. Construction on City Hall was begun in 1925 and it is in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was designed by John Bakewell and Arthur Brown, who also designed San Francisco’s City Hall, as well as much of the Stanford and Berkeley campuses. The Maryland Hotel once extended all the way to Colorado Boulevard, but only the portion you see remains today.
