On my trip to London this summer, I discovered a gallery near the Trafalgar Square, which features celebrity portraits and posters by reknown photographers, such as Terry O'Neill, Greg Brennan, and Norman Parkinson. I was overjoyed at seeing the beloved Hollywood stars so far away from home and in such masterful rendition. These moments of Hollywood history and favorite images of California have a special place in many homes in Los Angeles, and I hope that you can visit the Iconic Images Gallery and admire more of these images. The works can be purchased directly from the Iconic Images Gallery, or you can reply within this email to add works of interest to your home.
The digital and print news media company Pasadena Star News reaches over 6 million readers daily, bringing news since 1884. It was located in the historic building at 525 E. Colorado Blvd. The building originally constructed in 1925 to house the Pasadena Star newspaper, was sold for $16.55 million to a Beverly Hills real estate investment and management firm, Greenbridge Investment Partners, according to "the Los Angeles Times" (Feb. 7, 2014).
Its academic architectural style is characterized by classical influences of Roman and Greek architecture, as well as French and Italian Renaissance and Baroque styles. The building with elements of opulent decoration remarkably integrates within the Pasadena ensemble of arched bridges, courtyards and passageways.
