Attracted by a paradisiacal climate, health seekers \u003cbr\u003eand wealthy Easterners flocked to its resort hotels--the Green, the Maryland, the Huntington, the Painter, the Raymond--and built grand residences along Orange Grove and Grand Avenues. Scores of commercial and industrial buildings rose downtown, punctuated by public works, civic buildings, schools, and churches that doubled as works of art, like the Colorado Street Bridge, the Christian Science Church, and the California Mediterranean-style city hall. Preservation efforts have succeeded in putting Old Pasadena and the Pasadena Civic Center on the National Register of Historic Places, and continued restoration has made the city's unique architectural treasures a major attraction in Southern California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Scheid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531616410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531616410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Ann Scheid","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067157311743,"sku":"9781531616410","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34bcf315-9bfe-4aea-8ae0-b58b7fe1ff7c.jpg?v=1685411538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/downtown-pasadenas-early-architecture-ann-scheid-9781531616410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
