After a seven-year meticulous restoration and high-tech renovation, philanthropist John Vidalakis has decided to part with his historic Pasadena, California, estate and has put it on the market for $48 million.
He bought the property, which is in an exclusive cul-de-sac featuring only eight homes next to the iconic Langham Huntington hotel, in 2011 for $7.294 million, according to property records, and listed it on Monday with Darrell Done and Carol Chua of Coldwell Banker.
Beneath every robber baron’s graceful mansion seems to lie a graveyard of questionable deeds.
Cue Henry E. Huntington. Business mogul. Rail magnate. Rapacious real estate developer. Cantankerous enemy of organized labor.
Cue, also, Henry E. Huntington. Devoted aesthete. Prolific collector of art and books and plants, who left the lot to the public in the form of the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens on land that was once his vast San Marino estate.
Now, 102 years after he and his wife Arabella Duval Huntington founded it, this patrician institution finds itself at a crossroads the benefactor of Gilded Age wealth attempting to evolve into the post-George Floyd era, when art museums around the country are reckoning with questions of equity and race.
