Thanks to an extraordinary family legacy, the Fenyes Mansion on Pasadena's famed Millionaires Row, once home to Dr. Adalbert and Eva Fenyes, holds a special place among Pasadena Museum of Historys many treasures.
Original period furnishings, family heirlooms, and a unique California plein air art collection enhance this 1906 Beaux Arts-style architectural jewel. The lovely residence, designed by Robert Farquhar with a later addition by Sylvanus Marston, retains the collection of the Fenyes-Curtin-Paloheimo family and is decorated as it was lived in a century ago.
Docent-led walking tours of the Fenyes Mansion are offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, last approximately 75 minutes, and cover:
~The history of the Fenyes-Curtin-Paloheimo family
~Their collection of art and furnishings
~A glimpse into the life of a family living 100 years ago on Pasadenas Millionaires Row.
