From its founding, Pasadena has been about home - and homes. Famed internationally for its superb Arts & Crafts bungalows, Pasadena is also about a longer architectural story that includes Queen Anne Victorians, Spanish haciendas, colonial revivals, grand Mediterranean villas, iconic midcentury moderns, sleek contemporary masterworks, modest rental cottages and a new wave of mixed-use urban architecture. Over the last 130 years, some of the nation's finest residential architects - Frederick Roehrig, Bertram Goodhue, Charles & Henry Greene, Florence Yoch, Wallace Neff, Marston & Van Pelt, Richard Neutra, Buff & Hensman, Moule & Polyzoides - have filled neighborhoods with homes and landscapes of diverse and lasting beauty.
At Home Pasadena explores the public and private spaces in the homes and gardens of Pasadena and her architecturally rich neighbors, from South Pasadena and San Marino to Altadena, Sierra Madre and Eagle Rock. Organized by the activities of daily life - cooking & eating, retreating, playing, gardening - each chapter is filled with vivid color photographs and energetic text that takes readers in the front door, out the back door and over to the rose garden in more than fifty homes.
