Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the First Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, ca.1925. The gothic building of the church is visible behind a crop of trees at center, filling much of the image. In the bottom center, a paved walkway leads up to the smaller of the church's two sections, feeding into a second walkway that leads to all of the church entrances. This smaller section is connected ot the taller section at right (which appears to hold the bell tower) by a short arcade that appears to enclose a courtyard in the background. A tall office-style highrise can be seen in the background behind the church. A car is partially visible parked along the sidewalk in the right foreground.
