It contains 250 photographs as well as stories about early Altadena landmarks, events, and people, including the area canyons like Arroyo Seco and Punchbowl. It's a key resource for learning about the community's history.
The author and his wife, Louise, moved to Altadena in 1952 and lived in the house he built until 1984, when he passed away.
