Excerpt from castlegreen.com/about-us/overview/:

One of Pasadena’s most unique buildings, the Castle Green was built in 1898 as the annex for the famous Hotel Green. The Castle Green is an imposing seven story Moorish Colonial and Spanish style building sitting next to Central Park in Old Pasadena at Raymond and Green Street. The Castle Green was built by Col. George G. Green of the Patent Medicine Business. The Castle Green opened in 1899 as the second of three buildings in the Hotel Green complex. It was a lavish resort for easterners and others escaping winter weather.

Architect Frederick I. Roehrig, for what was later to be called the Central Annex, drew on Moorish, Spanish, Victorian, and other stylistic elements to produce Pasadena’s most stunningly original building. He blended domes, arches, pillars, balconies, and verandahs in a building of structural steel with brick walls and concrete floors, making it Pasadena’s first fireproof building. He tied it to the first part of the hotel complex, built on the east side of the street, by an ornate enclosed bridge crossing Raymond Avenue. When the Annex opened for business, its two cylindrical towers on the south and much of the roof line were (and still are) illuminated with exterior lights.Today, the Castle Green, one of the oldest standing historic landmarks in Los Angeles County, has many of the original features from its original construction including the oldest wrought iron 24 hour man-operated elevator on the west coast, gorgeous plaster, moldings, hand carved fireplace mantles, grills and wood moldings, and original lighting.

Through the restoration efforts of the owners, over time the Castle has evolved into a fully restored, luxurious condominium complex, listed as a Nationally Registered Historic Monument, a State Historical Monument, and a Designated Pasadena Treasure.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

The Royal Laundry Complex is a historic laundry plant located at 443 S. Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, California. The site's main plant was constructed in 1927 for the Royal Laundry Company, a laundry service founded in 1910. Gordon Kaufmann, a prominent architect who also designed the Hoover Dam and several buildings at the California Institute of Technology, designed the plant. Kaufman's Spanish Colonial Revival design for the plant signified a shift in his style to include modern elements, which ultimately came to dominate his work. The plant's south annex, a Streamline Moderne building topped by a pylon, was added to the complex around 1930. An additional building providing drive-up service was constructed in 1939, an adaptation to the rise of the automobile; this building was topped by an overhead sign advertising the business in 1955. The laundry complex, which is located in an industrial neighborhood of Pasadena, has been described as one of the most architecturally significant industrial buildings in the city. The complex interior was converted to corporate office space in 2007 by Clive Wilkinson Architects.

The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 2007.

The complex currently serves as the world headquarters of Bluebeam, Inc. and was formerly the company headquarters of the Disney Store.
