A bit of history from the college web site:
Pasadena City College can trace its roots back to 1911 when 18 acres were acquired for the construction of a new campus for Pasadena High School. An additional 19 acres were purchased in 1923 expanding the campus to 37.39 aces.
The new educational facility began to take shape in 1912 with a newly completed campus, displacing the old Grant School originally built there and a citrus orchard. The campus centered on three structures, the Horace Mann, Jane Addams, and Louis Agassiz buildings.
