Fraser Alley

Named for D. J. Carvasso Fraser, physician for the Raymond Hotel in the 1890s.  The Raymond Hotel, perhaps the finest of Pasadena's early grand resort hotels, was located on South Raymond Avenue on Raymond Hill, two miles south of Colorado Boulevard.  In 1900, Dr. Fraser served as president of the First National Bank of Pasadena.  The original Victorian bank building, located at northwest corner of Colorado Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue, was destroyed by fire in 1929.

Group that erected the marker: Marsha V. Rood and Roger E. "Waldo" Kislingbury
