I did a somewhat comprehensive post about the Hotel Green on my Pasadena PIO blog in 2011. You can see that post here for plenty of background.

A couple of photos that weren’t included in that post:

And of course, here’s the Castle Green today as seen from across the street.Many thanks to the Pasadena Museum of History for the black-and-white photos above and the Castle Green for the color photos.
