Description

Exploring Pasadena: Pasadena’s Grace Hill NeighborhoodThursday, October 20 I 7:00 pm Learn about the evolution of Pasadena’s Grace Hill neighborhood from the time before the Indiana Colony settled this area to the present. The small hill changed ownership throughout the years before eventually becoming the home of William Stanton and his family in 1890. Grace Hill and the Stanton Mansion – designed by famed architect, Fredrick Roehrig – were later sold at auction and subdivided in 1922. The neighborhood that resulted from the subdivision has a distinctive physical character that sets it apart from other areas of Pasadena. Join Grace Hill resident and environmental planner, Tom Priestley, Ph.D., for this illustrated presentation as he explores the neighborhood’s physical changes over the many years and highlights the vestiges of the area’s past that are still visible today. This program will provide a backdrop for Walktober Pasadena’s tour of Grace Hill neighborhood led by Tom Priestley, Ph.D. on Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23.

Presentation will begin at 7:00 pm; PMH Galleries will be open for viewing at 6:00 pm. Please Note: Masks will be required for this program. Image: Grace Hill.
