Pasadena post-and-beam boasts architectural pedigree and lush scenery
The Calvin C. Straub-designed home sits on more than a third of an acre in Pasadena.
The Holland/Goudzwaard Residence, built in 1958, remains a stellar example of the post-and-beam style popularized following World War II. Walls of windows in the main living area bring in the lush landscapes and mountain ridges that surround the Pasadena residence. Updates by architectural designer Bob Moore present little deviation from the original footprint of the Calvin C. Straub-designed home.
