I thought there would be more pictures to find online of this building.

It's unusual and "one of Pasadena's landmarks" according to the 1934 clipping.

Is this it in a 1962 aerial - same year as the Ebay picture?

On the streets bordering Carmelita Park, I think this looks the most likely candidate.


In 1938 it's appears to be inside the park's bounds in the north west portion, tallying with odinthor's 1934 clipping.
