western justice center foundation's four historic buildings constitute an extraordinary western landmark that is listed in the national registry of historic places. Built during 1925-1935 in mediterranean revival style architecture, the site originally formed part of the grounds of the vista del arroyo hotel, a luxury resort that flourished in pasadena during the early 20th century. In 1985, honorable dorothy w. Nelson and a group of judges and lawyers from the u. S. Court of appeals for the 9th circuit joined with the city of pasadena to raise 500,000 to acquire these four bungalows. The city of pasadena purchased the site and structures from the federal general services administration (gsa) and leased them to wjcf on a long-term basis for charitable purposes. Today its campus-like complex is home to 13 non-profit organizations that all have an interest in children, the arts, conflict resolution and public policy.
