title: Adolphus Busch's sunken gardens, Pasadena, ca.1916

description: Photograph of Adolphus Busch's sunken gardens, Pasadena, ca.1916. Trees cover the grassy, hilly landscape. Several geese can be seen waddling in and around the pond that is situated at the lower parts of the hilly estate. In the extreme background, a line of several trees can be seen.; "In the early part of the twentieth century (about 1907), Adolphus Busch (yes, the original name on the Anheuser-Busch beer bottles) lived on a spacious estate in Pasadena, California. His home was spectacular, overlooking the floor of a very special canyon, the Arroyo Seco. The entire property was a large tract of land that bordered Bellefontaine St. on the northern end to Madeline Dr. on the southern end. The Arroyo Seco lies west of S. Arroyo Blvd. The Old Mill (star on the map) may still be viewed near the gate at 485 Madeline Drive. Mr. Busch had an idea to beautify his estate, which consisted of a large section of the Arroyo. He constructed some of the most beautiful gardens ever seen in California. Unfortunately, most of what you are seeing does not exist today, but restoring the beauty of the past is now in process in the lower Arroyo Seco." -- Ray Dashner.

This organization, formed in the 1870s, had its first official meeting in 1872. The functions of the group were similar to those of today's fraternities, with various secret rituals and traditions. As the organization grew and spread across the United States, it eventually changed its name to the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America. The group, now known as the Shriner Organization, still exists, with well over 720,000 "shriners," and uses the Shrine Auditorium to host events associated with the club. In addition, the Shriner Organization has become a philanthropy, operating 22 Shriner Hospitals for handicapped or severely burned children. The Shrine Auditorium consists of a theater and an exposition center, which is home to various sales, conventions, and large-scale parties." -- Rich DeMuro, Staff Writer, Daily Trojan.; "The Crescent was adopted as the Jewel of the Order. Though any materials can be used in forming the Crescent, the most valuable are the claws of a Royal Bengal Tiger, united at their base in a gold setting. In the center is the head of a sphinx, and on the back are a pyramid, an urn and a star. The Jewel bears the motto "Robur et Furor," which means "Strength and Fury." Today, the Shrine emblem includes a scimitar from which the crescent hangs, and a five-pointed star beneath the head of the sphinx." -- unknown author.
