A BEAUTIFUL VENUE FOR ANY SPECIAL EVENT!

History

Formally dedicated on April 28th, 1933, La Casita was built as a public works project to provide employment during the

Depression and to establish a community meeting house.

La Casita was designed by renowned architect Myron Hunt. The Pasadena Garden Club supplied the funds, and the City of Pasadena supplied the materials and manpower. The building's walls include boulders from the Arroyo. The original roof shakes were cut from fallen trees in the upper canyon. Virtually all the lumber came from the bicycle track built inside the Rose Bowl for the 1932 Olympics. La Casita was declared a Pasadena Cultural Heritage Landmark in 1976. The Lower Arroyo Seco, including La Casita, has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.

After a fire in 1965, the City of Pasadena, with the help of a volunteer advisory committee, undertook repair and restoration of La Casita. Because of its long affiliation with La Casita, the Pasadena Garden Club assumed responsibility for design and installation of the present demonstration garden.

The Pasadena Garden Club maintained the garden until 1984. Since 1984, La Casita Foundation has maintained the garden with substantial funds and labor given by the Pasadena Garden Club, its members and community donors.
