Pasadena Heritage invites you to explore the legacy of Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman who had remarkable careers that started during their time together as students at USC’s School of Architecture in Los Angeles. Cal Straub and Dennis Smith were principals of the famous firm at intervals, and their combined contribution to California Modernism is unparalleled. Also open for visits will be the Thompson/Moseley House, designed in 1959 by Buff, Straub and Hensman. This house has the unique distinction of winning two Merit Awards, in 1960 and 1992, from the Pasadena Foothill Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).The Rabinovitz House was uniquely designed to incorporate a 1920’s cottage on the existing property. Don Hensman’s last design project in 1999 was the Moseley House. Alex Moseley will be on site to talk about the unique design of his home and to share stories of his long friendship with Conrad Buff and Don Hensman.
