Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
View of the Raymond Hotel looking at the western facade and the landscaped grounds. Three women and a man pose by the enbankment leading to the hotel's portico. Young palm trees are planted in the areas around the driveway. Located in South Pasadena, it was the first major resort hotel of the San Gabriel Valley and was only opened from December to April. It was built by Mr. Walter Raymond of Raymond & Whitcomb Travel Agency of Boston, Mass. and sat atop Bacon Hill which lies between Pasadena and South Pasadena. Bacon Hill was renamed Raymond Hill with the opening of the hotel in 1886. The hotel burned down in 1895 and was replaced by a second Raymond Hotel in 1903.
