Exterior view of of "La Castle de Crescenta" at Rancho La Cañada

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photograph of an exterior view of"La Castle de Crescenta"at Rancho La Cañada ca.1898. Two men sit on the steps leading to a stone castle at right owned by Eugene H. and May Briggs Gould, the latter of whom financed its construction with an inheritance from her father, George Briggs. The castle's tower stands at center, surrounded by archways to the right and a tall main building to the left. The Goulds built the castle with crenellated walls, a covered, arched entryway, and round tower out of local stone high in the dry hills above the Crescenta-Canada Valley. The property had been part of Rancho La Cañada. Low stone retaining walls provide terraces for imported shrubbery and trees. It was located on the east side of Pickens Canyon and designed to be similar to a castle that Mrs. Gould had seen in Morocco. It was later demolished in the 1950's. A caption below the image gives the alternate spelling"La Cre Scenta".
