Hispanic Influence on Pasadena and California Architecture focuses on how the Spanish/Hispanic/Latino architectural design vocabulary evolved over a thousand years, across four continents, and how it has flourished here in Pasadena. Pasadena Heritage researcher and docent David Nufer examines venerable examples, such as the San Gabriel Mission, Castle Green, Caltech campus, Civic Center, and 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival houses designed by George Washington Smith, Wallace Neff, and many others. Also studied are more recent Hispanic-influenced projects, such as the Del Mar Station.
