Everything about The Hotel Green totally explained
The
Hotel Green, built in 1903 in
Pasadena, California was home to both the
Tournament of Roses and the
Valley Hunt Club. The hotel was built by
George Gill Green and was supplemented by two later buildings, creating a complex of three structures.
Hotel Green, by Los Angeles-based architect Frederick (or Frederic) Roehrig, was the first of the three buildings; it was published in the periodical The Western Architect in December 1905. (below)
Castle Green was the second building in the complex and was originally known as the "Central Annex." By 1924 the hotel was owned by a group of investors who divided the hotel complex into three parts. The Central Annex was subdivided into fifty residential apartments and renamed the Castle Green. The Castle Green is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, the State Historic Register, and the City of Pasadena's list of Historic Places. (Its official website: http://www.castlegreen.com/)
Trivia
- Castle Green has become increasingly popular as a venue for amazing weddings and special events. The historically accurate rooms expanding from the Castle's lobby area provide virtual passages into a forgotten era.
- The Hotel used to have a pedestrian bridge over Raymond Avenue to reach another wing of the hotel. That wing however, was later razed to 2 stories and was sold as business space.
- Castle Green is currently home to the oldest elevator on the West Coast.
