Inside an 1890s Pasadena Home Transformed Into an Art Gallery & Music Studio | House Tour

In this episode, we visit The Hills House in Pasadena, California, to meet owner Stefan Simchowitz. Originally built in the 1890s as a modest farmhouse, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined into a vibrant creative space that reflects Stefan's lifelong passion for art and music.

Driven by a desire to share creativity with others, Stefan transformed the historic farmhouse into an evolving art gallery, music venue, artist residency, and community gathering place. Rather than preserving the house as a private residence alone, he has given it a new purpose, one where artists, musicians, and visitors can connect through exhibitions, performances, and conversation.

Join us as we explore the story behind one of Pasadena's oldest homes and discover how a 19th century farmhouse was reimagined into a cultural destination where history, art, and music come together.
