The 60th Pasadena Showcase House of Design

The 2025 Pasadena Showcase House of Design will take place at the Bauer Estate & Gardens, a 1928 Monterey colonial estate poised to be one of the largest Showcase Houses ever presented.

Acclaimed as the finest creation of famous architect Reginald D. Johnson, this year's estate was built by Peter Hall of Gamble House fame for Harry Bauer and his wife Alice. Uniquely, the estate features several acres of magnificent gardens created by one of the earliest female landscape designers, Katherine Bashford. 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.
