- Share via
This Pasadena landmark is being sold by the Red Cross, which has been using the location as the headquarters of its San Gabriel Pomona Valley chapter. Inspired by a chateau outside Paris, the John S. Cravens estate was built in the late 1920s for a reported cost of $1.25 million. Steel-reinforced concrete, brick and Vermont slate were used in the construction.
The mansion has been a filming location for TV shows such as “Mad Men,” “JAG” and “Glee.” It has also been a backdrop for McDonald’s, General Motors and Nissan commercials.
