Pasadena Heritage Preservation Month Tours and Events: Ninita Parkway-Rose Villa Walking Tour
May 24, 2014 |
This week Pasadena Heritage celebrates the Ninita Parkway Rose Villa historic neighborhood with a walking tour. This beautiful neighborhood of one and two-story single-family residences east of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) includes a range of Period Revival style residences including examples of Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance Revival, English Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival. The Tour will highlight significant works by some of Pasadena’s most distinguished architecture firms including Wallace Neff, Reginald Johnson, Donald McMurray, George Lawrence Stimson, Bennett & Haskell, Marston & Van Pelt, and Johnson, Kaufmann & Coate. The tour will also feature a bonus interior tour of the 1926 Lion House, designed by Architect George B. Brigham Jr. The romantic two story Normandy home features an abundance of striking architectural details including: coved ceilings, French windows and
doors, arched doorways, and formal garden. Mature street trees and historic streetlights enhance the sense of time and place.
Docents will lead small groups on a two-hour walk, describing the historic homes along the route.
