A Home for Preservation. A Place for Community.
Help Shape the Next Chapter of the Blinn House
A Vision for the Future
Historic buildings are at their best when they continue to serve the communities around them.
Our vision is to make the Blinn House a place where history inspires action—a place where preservation is not only celebrated but practiced every day.
Whether hosting workshops for homeowners, training the next generation of craftspeople, welcoming school groups, convening nonprofit organizations, or creating opportunities for meaningful community dialogue, the Blinn House will continue to connect people through a shared commitment to preserving Pasadena's unique sense of place.
Every improvement made through this campaign strengthens that mission.
Reimagining the Myron Hunt Room
At the heart of our vision is the restoration and redesign of the Myron Hunt Room.
Added by legendary Pasadena architect Myron Hunt, this remarkable space will become a vibrant gathering place for preservation, education, and collaboration. The reimagined Hunt Room will host lectures, exhibitions, workshops, nonprofit meetings, educational programs, and community conversations—creating a welcoming home for organizations and individuals working to strengthen Pasadena.
This will be more than a beautiful historic room.
It will be a place where ideas are exchanged, partnerships are formed, and the future of our community is shaped.
Preserving a Pasadena Landmark
Caring for a historic building is both a privilege and a responsibility.
Campaign support will allow Pasadena Heritage to complete critical preservation work that protects the Blinn House while honoring its historic character, including:
Repairing and preserving the historic exterior.
Repainting the house to safeguard its original materials.
Reinstalling historically appropriate double-hung windows on the west elevation, restoring an important architectural feature of the home's original design.
Completing essential repairs that will ensure the Blinn House continues to serve our community for decades to come.
These projects preserve more than a building. They protect a place where people gather, learn, and build lasting connections.
