A group of 24 architectural drawings of the Hotel Green annex building, built in 1897 across the street from the original Hotel Green in Pasadena, California. The annex, later known as the Castle Green, was designed by architect Frederick L. Roehrig approximately 1897. Roehrig's drawings are titled Hotel Green Annex and include floor plans of each floor and the rooftop; elevations; descriptive details; and plans for the ornate enclosed bridge over Raymond Avenue. There are also some later floor plans for the Castle Green Apartments in the same building, 1924, by architects Postle & Postle, and other plans dated 1937 and 1949.
