The Greater Los Angeles Area is full of beautiful examples of various types of architecture, including the Castle Green in Pasadena, one of the city’s most underrated architectural marvels. Built between 1893 and 1903, the Castle Green stands as a reminder of the elegance and mystery associated with old Hollywood glamour. It was originally built as a seven-story annex for the famous Hotel Green and was designed by architect Frederick Roehrig.
By combining Spanish, Victorian, and Moorish influences, Roehrig created a stunning building that blended pillars, balconies, domes, and arches. Exterior lights were used to illuminate the annex’s roof line and two southern towers, and an enclosed bridge connected the building to the Hotel Green’s first complex. Further, the Castle Green was the first fireproof building in Pasadena, thanks to its brick walls, concrete floors, and structural steel.
When the annex first opened, it served as a popular resort for wealthy easterners looking to escape the winter cold. Over time, the building and its lush gardens played host to business tycoons and presidents. The Castle Green was separated from the Hotel Green when it was sold in the 1920s, and is now a renovated condominium building and Officially Designated Pasadena Treasure.
