Bauer Estate & Gardens makes its debut as the 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design with an unmatched pedigree. Featuring more than 15,000 square feet and set on five acres of peace and seclusion, Bauer Estate & Gardens is poised to be one of the largest Showcase Houses ever presented. Acclaimed as the finest creation of famous architect Reginald D. Johnson, this majestic 1928 Monterey colonial estate was built by Peter Hall of Gamble House fame for Harry Bauer (CEO of Southern California Edison) and his wife Alice (Board Chair of the Los Angeles County Arboretum). Uniquely, the estate features several acres of magnificent gardens created by one of the earliest female landscape designers, Katherine Bashford (Thornton Gardens and Pepperdine University). Meticulously maintained by just two families in its 96-year existence, Bauer Estate & Gardens was most recently designated by the City of Pasadena in its 2012 study of Historic Designed Gardens, and is highlighted in a proposed historic district with the National Register of Historic Places. Prominently featured in books, magazines, film, and television, Bauer Estate & Gardens is unparalleled in its heritage and grandeur. Nearly 100 years after being built, it is finally debuting as the 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design, highlighting the latest lifestyle trends by 30 talented interior and landscape designers.
