Hispanic Architectural Influence in Shaping Pasadena’s Cityscape
Thursday, September 28th, 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Tickets: Free (advanced registration required)
The early 20th Century saw the birth of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Southern California. Presenter and Board Member Dave Nufer will examine the many notable Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings in Pasadena including City Hall, the Central Library, the Pasadena Playhouse, and the historic Caltech campus. A study of Pasadena’s recent Hispanic-influenced projects, such as the Del Mar Station complex and the Paseo, will be included as well. Join us as we trace the thousand-year development of Spanish architecture from its Moorish roots to its revival and prominence in Pasadena today.
