Description
Photograph of an exterior view of First Presbyterian Church, Pasadena, ca.1889. The romanesque structure features a tall cylindrical tower topped with a sharp conical spire on one corner. Many arched, stained-glass windows punctuate the stone or brick walls topped with a steeply peaked roof. Utility poles and lines run along the dirt road at left. A two-story house, dwarfed by the church, is visible at right. Two men stand in the street at far left.
