Thanks to an extraordinary family legacy, the Fenyes Mansion on Pasadena's famed Millionaires Row, once home to Dr. Adalbert and Eva Fenyes, holds a special place among Pasadena Museum of Historys many treasures.
Original period furnishings, family heirlooms, and a unique California plein air art collection enhance this 1906 Beaux Arts-style architectural jewel. The lovely residence, designed by Robert Farquhar with a later addition by Sylvanus Marston, retains the collection of the Fenyes-Curtin-Paloheimo family and is decorated as it was lived in a century ago.
Docent-led walking tours of the Fenyes Mansion are offered on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, last approximately 75 minutes, and cover:
~The history of the Fenyes-Curtin-Paloheimo family
~Their collection of art and furnishings
~A glimpse into the life of a family living 100 years ago on Pasadenas Millionaires Row.
Visitors may view the Finnish Folk Art Museum as part of the Fenyes Mansion tour. Your ticket also includes admission to our History Center galleries.

As a historic building, the Fenyes Mansion is not fully wheelchair accessible.
