Bissner, Sr. and featured on a Pasadena Heritage Golden Age tour because of its elegant design and respectful architecture. Known as the E. Lawrence Brown House, this home has been sensitively restored and renovated to modernize its systems and showcase its exquisite original features such as light fixtures, tile, stained glass, hardware and wood paneling. The public rooms include a gracious formal entry enhanced with original tile risers on the staircase, a living room with beamed ceiling, fireplace and French doors leading to the private courtyard, a powder room, a formal dining room (con't).with scalloped ceiling, and a charming office/library with built-in bookshelves, mahogany ceiling, decorative fireplace and three sets of French doors flowing into the private garden courtyard.The remodeled gourmet eat-in kitchen, with design inspired by the original kitchen hood Malibu tiles, features warm colors, a large center island, soapstone counters, custom cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances and a butler's pantry with mahogany counter and hidden copper sink.
