Image not available

Description
A set of nineteen loose photographs showing interior and exterior views of the residence of Keith Spalding and his wife Eudora Hull Spalding at the Hotel Maryland in Pasadena, California; fourteen of the photographs are by Hiller [Studios?] and five are by Padilla [Studios]. The residence was a 24-room "garden villa" with gardens designed by landscape architect Paul Theine (1880-1971). The eleven interior views, all taken by Hiller, show a dining room, living room, parlor and other sitting areas, entrance hall, and staircase to the second floor; the images document design elements including furnishings and artwork and architectural features including arched passageways between rooms. The eight exterior views, five by Padilla and three by Hiller, include the walkway leading to a gate and to a door; the back yard and patio; a pond and a fountain; and the Maryland Hotel wall, of which the design has been credited to Wallace Neff in 1926. One of the views of the grounds and wall shows City Hall adjacent to the property.
