Villa Verde, located at 800 S. San Rafael in Pasadena, California, is a historic estate built in 1927. The estate was designed by Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury and is representative of their Spanish Colonial Revival designs. The design features extensive wrought iron ornamentation and a terra cotta roof. F. A. Hardy, former chairman of the Goodrich Corporation and a renowned horticulturist, first inhabited the house and planted its still-surviving garden.[2]
The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listing included two contributing buildings on 1.8 acres (0.73 ha).[1]
