South Pasadena High School, Marsh, Smith & Powell 1937

Classic PWA Moderne style, designed by Marsh, Smith & Powell in 1937. A walk around the campus reveals a cohesive design statement: concrete benches in the courtyard are set in a zig-zag pattern; even the hedges are trimmed the same way!

The school has a number of well-known alumni, including actor William Holden, actress Hilary Swank and politician Mary Bono Mack. The school is located at 1401 Fremont Avenue in South Pasadena.
