A little over a year ago, I started 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ both on my blog and on Facebook. Last Friday, we celebrated 365 consecutive daily posts of highlighting our city including night life, historical sites, museums, restaurants and so much more.
I will be sharing some of these posts with our friends here on Active Rain. If you are ever in Pasadena, stop on by and say hello!
Pasadena City Hall, the first building in California to be built in the California Mediterranean style, opened its doors in 1927. It was originally started with the funds from the $3.5Million bond that residents of Pasadena approved in 1923 to create a Pasadena Civic Center.
The Pasadena Civic Center was supposed to include the City Hall, Library, Civic Auditorium, Police Department, YWCA, Southern California Gas Compaly and the Post Office. The original city hall ended up costing $1.3 Million and you can read all about its architecture and construction on Pasadena City’s site here.
The City Hall that we see today has been seismically reinforced and renovated in 2007 (a three year project!) and it’s a beauty.
