Description
Photograph of the home of Robert and Clara Burdette, Pasadena, [s.d.]. The extravagant courtyard consists of windy paths, park-like benches, and decorated with plants and trees. Large evergreen and palm trees are visible in the foreground. The mansion, known as "Sunnycrest", is visible in the background. "Dr. Robert J. Burdette, a popular preacher, humorist, and author and his rich heiress wife, Clara Baker Burdette, were prominent citizens of Pasadena where they occupied a luxurious estate known as "Sunnycrest", built at the turn of the century by Clara Burdette's second husband, a Confederate colonel, who willed it to her when he died." -- Jason Marmor.
