UPDATE:  Read About 2012 Showcase House and Garden Tour here!

45th Annual Pasadena Showcase House of Design features a San Marino estate this year.

It is truly a magnificent Italian Renaissance Revival estate built in 1917.  This gorgeous property was designed by the renowned Pasadena architect G. Lawrence Stimson and has over 10,000 square feet of living space and sits on 2 acres of land.

Rumor has it that this estate belongs to one of San Marino’s past city mayors.  It’s a huge honor to have your home selected to be the Showcase Design home.  At the same time, it takes a lot of patience on the part of the owner because they have to move out months ahead of time to allow designers the time to work their magic.
