Photograph of an exterior view of the La Casa Grande Hotel on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, ca.1907. The hotel is located in a two-story house at center. The building is mostly hidden from view by an assortment of palm trees in the front yard. The steeply sloped roof with two protruding chimneys is clearly visible, however. Two more two-story houses can be seen, one on each side of the hotel. A wide street is visible in the foreground, and a line of utility wires can be seen overhead, running parallel to the road.
