The 2024 Pasadena Showcase House of Design boasts a significant historic background, several storied owners and even a prestigious designation as a Pasadena City Landmark. This stately English Tudor Revival Style home was once named “El Roble” by one of its prominent residents, a Spanish translation in honor of a stately oak tree that once graced its magnificent front lawn. In recent years it has been referred to as Potter Daniels Manor, honoring its original owner while also paying homage to its second but more famous owner’s English heritage and inspiration. Commissioned by Gertrude Potter Daniels, wife of a wealthy Chicago businessman, the home was originally built in 1902 by Joseph J. Blick, one of Pasadena’s pioneer architects, as a “winter home” for the Daniels and their two young sons. The graceful, shingle-style structure cost $15,000 to build, a significant amount for that time. With a magnificent setting overlooking the Arroyo Seco and surrounded by vistas of vineyards and citrus groves, the home was a charming, grand place to entertain. Many prominent people walked through the doors of the home, including President Theodore Roosevelt. Prime Time Admission: $50 (9.30am – 1:30pm); Regular Admission: $40 (1:30pm – 4pm); Happy Hour Admission: $35 (4pm – closing) [Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday].
