The California Style: Johnson, Kaufmann & CoateAdvance Discounted Tickets On Sale - Feb. 27
A Drive-yourself House Tour:Sunday, March 29, 20099:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Pasadena Heritage presents The California Style: Johnson, Kaufmann & Coate, a tour exploring the beautiful residential designs created by these significant Pasadena-based architects. Working with inspirations that ranged from Spanish and early Californian to Anglo-Colonial architecture, Reginald Johnson, Gordon Kaufmann and Roland Coate created the quintessential California style of the 1920s and 1930s. As a firm and individually, these architects created opulent yet informal homes perfectly suited to the Mediterranean climate, with interior spaces linked to expansive terraces, reflective pools, and lavish gardens.
Featured residences on the tour will include the John Barber House, designed in 1925-26 by Roland Coate on the banks of the Arroyo. The home is one of the finest examples of the Monterey Colonial Revival style in Pasadena, and features much of the original landscaping designed in the 1920s by the prominent landscape architect Katherine Bashford. Also open for visits will be “El Naranjal”, a Mediterranean-style house designed in 1922 by Reginald Johnson and named for a magnificent orange tree on the property. The home has been painstakingly renovated to reflect Johnson’s original designs while keeping intact a pavilion created by the prominent mid-century architect Thornton Ladd in the 1940s.
Guests will drive themselves to the featured houses where docent-guided tours will be ongoing between 9:00 am – 4:00 pm., rain or shine. We suggest 5 hours to complete the tour.
