About AllSaints
In 1886, All Saints Church was founded as the first Episcopal parish in Pasadena. But the founding members had actually begun meeting in a private home three years earlier. Eventually, they purchased a site among orange groves at the corner of Garfield Avenue and Colorado Boulevard and built a small wooden church in 1885. Four years later, the first – more... church at our present Euclid Avenue site was constructed.
As the congregation grew, so did the need for more space. In 1923, the firm of Reginald Johnson of Johnson, Kaufman and Coate, Architects, was commissioned to design a new building for All Saints. A year later, our current Gothic Revival church was dedicated.
Reginald Johnson was known among his peers as 'the people's architect". His dedication to developing design solutions for housing low-income families has been matched by All Saints' dedication to serving the less fortunate. As the son of the first Episcopal Bishop of Los Angeles, Johnson was acquainted with the liturgical demands that would be placed on the church. His creation is a landmark building that is listed as part of Pasadena's Civic Center Historic District.
The Gothic Revival style of the All Saints campus reflects the traditional values prominent in church architecture, as well as the preferences of the 1920s. Constructed of stone quarried from Bouquet Canyon in Southern California and roofed with Vermont slate, the church houses a large display of decorative arts in the style popular in the early years of the 20th century.
Regas House and the Rectory (now staff offices) were completed by 1930, and were the work of Pasadena architects Bennett and Haskell. These two buildings are also part of the Civic Center Historic District. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
