Casa Altadena is of Spanish architecture. Occupying a knoll overlooking the panorama of the bay on one side and beautiful wooded vistas and canyons on the other side.
Opening Day
Over 500 people attended the opening on January 29, 1929.
Casa Altadena carries out the discerning taste of its decorators, who sought to weave into them, the romance of the Peraltas.
