Description
The mansion was located at 99 Terrace Drive and bounded on the north by Olcott Place and on the west by South Orange Grove Avenue. It was built on four acres for $1,100,000 in 1905-1908. In 1956, after Hulett's death, the property was purchased by Herbert W. Armstrong because it was adjacent to Ambassador College. The college subsequently obtained permission to close Terrace Drive. Thereafter, the residence and street address was redesignated as 100 S. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena. The college closed in the 1990's. The mansion and former classrooms are now part of an event venue called the Ambassador Mansions & Gardens.
