PASADENA October 24–28, 2021 Presented by the Historic New PASADENA October 24–28, 2021 presented by The Historic New Orleans Collection Willow branches complement a bridge in the Japanese gardens located on the grounds of the Huntington Library (Rennett Stowe) In preparation for the exhibition Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean (opening in October 2022), our 2021 tour to Pasadena will highlight our shared Spanish heritage. Despite Southern California’s popular image as a vanguard of contemporary culture and a place where the “new” reigns supreme, the region’s history runs deep, and an informed visitor can marvel at beautiful places and buildings many decades—and even centuries—old. The lovely city of Pasadena, famed for its incomparable Tournament of Roses traditions, is a California place where history breathes a bit more deeply. The Historic New Orleans Collection is pleased to offer to its supporters a chance to uncover the many charms of old Pasadena, discovering unexpected connections with our own Louisiana history and encountering beautiful works of art, architecture, and landscape design along the way. From multiple curated private visits at the incredible Huntington Library to peeks inside early 20th-century architectural gems to meetings with local historians, our tour will provide a one-of-a-kind perspective on the cultural richness that Pasadena has to offer. Our home base for the tour is the splendid Hotel Langham Huntington, Pasadena, a five-star palace that was among the first luxury getaways in the L.A. area. Surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens and offering a Hollywood-worthy pool, the Langham is one of Southern California’s finest resorts. Travel with THNOC’s CEO Daniel Hammer, experiencing great food and special visits all along the way. Space will be limited for this program, and we expect the tour to sell quickly, so please contact us soon if you would like to be part of this uniquely Californian cultural getaway. TOUR HIGHLIGHTS • Accommodations at the luxurious Langham Huntington, Pasadena • A special access tour of the Huntington Library • Exclusive tour of the Huntington Art Museum and Botanical Garden • A private tour of the Gamble House • A private catered luncheon on the patio of the historic Lanterman House HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS Langham Huntington, Pasadena—The landmark Langham Huntington, Pasadena is a luxury five-star resort located in Oak Knoll, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Pasadena, situated at the base of the picturesque San Gabriel Mountains.

  • Myron Hunt-Designed Mansion in San Marino Sells for More Than $6 Million
    Myron Hunt-designed mansion in San Marino sells for more than $6 million April 1, 2020 A view of the backyard at the Monterey Period Revival-style estate in San Marino that architect Myron Hunt designed in 1930. (Courtesy of Compass) By SANDRA BARRERA | [email protected] | Daily NewsPUBLISHED: April 21, 2020 at 3:19 p.m. | UPDATED: April 23, 2020 at 10:13 a.m. A gated Monterey Period Revival-style estate in San Marino, designed by prominent architect Myron Hunt in 1930 and extensively remodeled and updated, has sold for $6.03 million. The six-bedroom, 5,212-square-foot house fetched $130,000 over-asking price after it received “multiple offers,” said listing agent Sarah Rogers of Compass though she refused to say how many. “In this environment where a lot of estate properties or higher-end properties in San Marino are generally taking a lot longer to sell, this property sold right away and did well,” Rogers said, adding it’s especially significant “during this tumultuous time.” The winning offer from a local family set the deal in motion before Los Angeles County issued the stay-at-home order. Property records show the house closed in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic on April 9, with Sabrina Wu of Compass representing the buyer. “At the showing,” Rogers recalled, “the buyer took off her shoes and changed into her socks. She said something like, ‘If these are going to be my floors, I want to protect them.’” Those white oak hardwood floors run across both levels of the house, starting from the towering foyer.

  • Campus Planning & Architecture
    Campus Planning & Architecture Since its inception in 1982, the practice of Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists has been focused on the American campus. We have worked with colleges and universities across the country, guided by sensitivity to their essential needs and our understanding of the humanist and environmental purposes of architecture and planning. Our exceptional buildings, magnificent land scapes and well- scaled public spaces create a powerful sense of place that nurtures academic communities and advances the aspirations of academic institutions. Balch Hall Renovation and Philosophers Walk Allée Restoration, Scripps College Claremont, California 2 At a time when ambitions are limited, and resources even more so, campus planning and the architec- ture of academic facilities can be directed away from isolated, monumental and extravagant projects. By focusing instead on smaller, simpler projects, each institution can incrementally complete the form of its campus while strengthening its unique physical character and improving the quality of life for its faculty, staff and students. The key characteristics of such a tactical planning and design culture are: • Aseamlessphysicalandeconomicconnectionofeachcampustothecitysurroundingit; • Acompact,mixed-usecampusform,structuredonamultimodalstreetandpathnetwork thatfavorswalkability,bikeabilityandaccesstotransit; • Adaptivereuseandmodestadditionstoexistingfacilities—onlybuildingnewonesasa matteroflastrecourse; • Publicspaceandlandscapebetweenbuildingsasapriority,generatingoutdoorrooms

    GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.
