What’s happening?
In the circa 1900 photo (right), men lounge in what is identified on the back as “the rotunda” at the Hotel Green.
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:
The Moorish Room circa 1900 in the portion of the hotel that is now known as the Castle Green…
A woman examining flowers in the lush gardens:
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.
