Property Description
The Stromberger Residence, 1948, Henry Eggers, FAIA., Garret Eckbo, FASLA, Hahn and Hoffman, Landscape Architects. Described by the Pasadena Star-News in 1953 as ‘a contemporary home with a quota of indoor-outdoor living,’ the Stromberger residence remains a compelling study in postwar California modernism.Located on the west side of the Arroyo, the property occupies a mostly flat, nearly three-quarters-of-an-acre parcel across two parcels — a rare landholding in an increasingly urbanized setting.
