"Carmelita" (later, Carmelita Gardens and Carmelita Park) was an American property established in Pasadena by Jeanne C. Smith Carr and her husband, Prof. Ezra S. Carr.[1] Purchased in 1877, for US$3,000, their 42 acres (17 ha) tract was located on the northeast corner of W. Colorado Boulevard and S. Orange Grove Boulevard.[2] The home became a 19th-century intellectual center in Southern California.[3] The grounds of "Carmelita" contained a rosebush with a national reputation. The Norton Simon Museum is located on the property previously owned by the Carrs.
