PASADENA HERITAGE SPRING HOME TOUR

Pasadena Heritage presents Part 3, the final installment, of its spring home tour. The Revival-style architecture of the charming Lansing Beach House, a French Norman-style home built in 1927 by David Witmer and Loyall Watson, will premiere on Sunday, June 27.

The original owners of this house, Lansing and Katherine Beach, met in France during WWI. It is said that they had this home built in this style as a tribute to their courtship. Participants will also virtually visit the home of architect Everett Phipps Babcock. This home, known locally as the “fairy tale castle” then, has the feeling of a medieval manor. Built in the English Tudor style in 1926 for the architect and his wife Clare, it served as Babcock’s residence and home office for a period. The home is a city landmark and is part of the recently designated Arden Road Historic District.

Tickets are one day of tours with two homes $18 for nonmembers, $15 for members.

VHHS PLANS REUNION

“Team 74” is planning a 50th high school reunion in 2024. Friends and graduates of Verdugo Hills High School are invited to attend to trade stories of family, careers, adventures and anything else.

Currently Team 74 is in the planning phase of collecting names and numbers of classmates and putting together a database; emails from classmates can be received at clsof74reunion@yahoo.com. Information should include a mailing address, cell number and graduate’s name at graduation (if different than now).

A list of frequently asked questions will be provided to keep everyone updated as the reunion plans move forward. Those who belong to various VHHS groups will see redundant information to ensure all classmates are notified and have an opportunity to attend.

At this time the FB VHHS groups will be the reunion information outlet until a more focused site is created.
