Hotel looking north.

Actually this old color postcard was
taken from a photograph of Pasadena taken circa 1876, not 1878 as depicted on the
card. View looking north on Orange Grove Avenue from Bellefontaine.
At left foreground, the H. G. Bennet's house. Pasadena's first school house is the small building under the tree in the center. Methodist
Episcopalian Church distant in center, Presbyterian Church at extreme right.

Pasadena in 1884
Pasadena looking west in 1884 representing
the beginning of the town center. Central School, the second school built in
Pasadena is the building with the tower to the left of the dirt road. Two
hotels, a store and community hall are grouped around the school at the
intersection of Colorado Street and Fair Oaks Avenue. Today this area is
the heart of "Old Town."
