Subject:
Castle Green, Pasadena
Description:
Caption: "Green Hotel, Pasadena, Cal.," c. 1905. View of Castle Green, built as an annex to the Hotel Green in 1899. The original Hotel Green opened for business as a lavish resort in 1894. Its success prompted owner George Gill Green to expand the hotel and build the additional facility shown here, connected to the original hotel by an elaborate enclosed pedestrian bridge (seen at the far right of this photograph). This second building, designed by architect Frederick I. Roehrig with Spanish, Moorish, and Victorian elements, became known as "Castle Green." Business declined in the 1910s, and the complex was sold to a series of investors. In the mid-1920s, Castle Green was subdivided into fifty residential apartments. It remains a residential complex today.
