One of the oldest, largest and most successful house and garden tours in the country, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design features the latest products and design concepts in interior design and landscape architecture. This year we will be revisiting a distinguished estate designed by Fernand Parmentier in 1910 that is an eclectic English Tudor combined with Craftsman elements. The artistic innovations and philosophy of the burgeoning Arts and Crafts movement are evident in this striking structure. It features many historical and unique architectural elements including Honduras mahogany beams and moldings, cast plaster ceilings, and distinctive Greuby tile. The main residence is over 9,400 square feet and is complemented by a 2,600 Carriage House with an upstairs apartment. The property includes many mature trees, a pool, a Koi pond, an outdoor kitchen, and a wisteria arbor.
An onsite restaurant offers lunch, dinner and snacks. The Shops at Showcase include approximately 20 merchants who have been carefully selected to provide visitors with an array of unique items at a variety of prices. Complimentary parking and shuttle service is located at the Rose Bowl – Lot I at 360 North Arroyo Boulevard in Pasadena.
The success of the Pasadena Showcase House of Design has enabled PSHA to make cumulative donations of nearly $20 million to support outstanding music and arts programs throughout the community.
