    Caption: "Annheuser Busch Residence. Los Angeles," c. 1906. Unidentified woman standing in front of Tudor-style mansion, with several gables and chimneys covered in ivy. Built in 1898 in Pasadena and designed by Frederick Roehrig, the Ivy Wall (the mansion's nickname) was purchased by Adolphus Busch in 1905. Busch gradually bought up much of the surrounding property, and subsequently created the first Busch Gardens. After his death in 1913, his wife Lily continued to develop the gardens. Lily died in 1928. Over the next two decades, the gardens were gradually sold off to real estate developers. The Ivy Wall itself was torn down in 1952.
