In 1995 the "Orange Heights - Barnhart Tracts Historic District" of Pasadena, California was added to the National Register of Historic Places as District #95001128. As defined by the NRHP, the neighborhood is bounded to the West by Los Robles Avenue, to the East by El Molino Avenue, to the North by Jackson Street, and to the South by Mountain Boulevard. Once known as "Pill Hill", because of the large number of physicians and care givers who lived in the neighborhood, Orange Heights has always been at the heart of Pasadena's civic life. Some of the city's most prominent citizens have lived here, attracted by the beautiful architecture, terraced yards, tree lined streets, and mountain views. Although Pasadena has grown and changed during the last century, Orange Heights still appears today much as it did over eighty years ago. If you have documents pertaining to the history of Orange Heights that you would like to share with the neighborhood, please contact an Orange Heights Neighborhood Association Director or Officer. |
