SHOWCASE After a two-year hiatus, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design returns in 2022 with everything you know and love. Welcome to Oaklawn Manor, a stately 1905 English Tudor mansion anchored within a historic Greene and Greeneplanned neighborhood of century-old homes in South Pasadena. Featuring baronial-sized rooms, historic stained glass windows, multiple fireplaces, and a magnificent ballroom staircase, the mansion was originally built by and for English civil engineer Harry Hawgood. After more than 115 years, we are pleased to bring new life into this grand home while honoring the historic nature of the neighborhood. The pool and cabana, which were added in 1955, have also been lovingly renovated. And yet, Showcase is more than just a pretty house! We invite you to explore the gardens at your own pace.
We encourage you to visit the Shops at Showcase for unique merchandise and bring something special home with you. Experience the magic of music with performances throughout the week featuring members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and musical groups from our Gifts & Grants program—you are sure to be delighted and entertained. We are immensely grateful to our talented designers and craftspeople who exquisitely created this year’s Showcase. They have worked tirelessly for months to transform every inch of the property. We thank our generous sponsors, patrons, and resources who have contributed in a variety of ways. Another vital part of our success is the contribution of our community
is Back! volunteers who partner with us
to staff during Showcase. We are also grateful to our wonderful neighbors who welcomed us back to South Pasadena for the first time in more than 40 years. Finally, we are forever indebted to the members of Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, who are some of the best volunteers around. Their dedication and resourcefulness cannot be over-emphasized. This year has been an incredible experience, and we are honored to have taken this journey with these talented women and men. Thank you for visiting Showcase. Your attendance has made it possible for us to contribute over $24 million in support of local music programs and has brought a lasting legacy to the community. Enjoy!
