Location of Pasadena in Los Angeles County, California

Pasadena, California, is a city full of amazing history! This article tells you about the special places in Pasadena that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Think of this register as a "hall of fame" for buildings, sites, and areas that are super important to America's past. When a place is on this list, it means it's recognized for its history, architecture, or culture, and it's worth protecting for future generations.

There are over 500 historic places listed in Los Angeles County, and Pasadena is home to 128 of them! This includes 5 "National Historic Landmarks," which are even more important. Some of these famous spots are the beautiful Gamble House, the historic Pasadena Playhouse, and the unique Millard House. Pasadena is also famous for hosting the annual football game at the Rose Bowl. In the early 1900s, Pasadena was a hub for new ideas in architecture. Architects like Greene and Greene built many cool "Craftsman-style" homes here, including the Gamble House. Other famous architects also designed buildings in Pasadena, like Myron Hunt, who designed the Rose Bowl and parts of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

Pasadena is also a center for science and culture. It's home to places like Caltech, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the Norton Simon Museum. You'll find sites related to space exploration here, such as the Space Flight Operations Facility and the Twenty-Five-Foot Space Simulator. Even the home of famous astronomer Edwin Hubble is nearby!

Two of Pasadena's old bridges are also on the list: the Colorado Street Bridge, built in 1913 with its cool arches, and the La Loma Bridge, built in 1914.

Many of Pasadena's listings are "historic districts." These are whole neighborhoods or areas that have many important old buildings. A great example is Old Pasadena, a lively area with shops and restaurants in well-preserved buildings from the early 1900s. Other historic districts include Bungalow Heaven, known for its many bungalow homes, and the Pasadena Civic Center District.

What is the National Register of Historic Places?

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worth saving. It's managed by the National Park Service in the United States. When a building, structure, site, object, or district is added to the Register, it gets special recognition. This helps to protect it and makes people more aware of its importance.
