Server Farms STORY
••-After
the 17-year development of Vine Street Video Center
and Rosemont Studios in Hollywood and Pasadena,
California, respectfully, entertainer / publishers,
Troy & Josie Cory -- played host to the 1990,
26th Pasadena Annual Showcase House of Design, --
to show-off their WiFi residential computer
broadcasting studio
facilities.
••-
The early
90s also marked the beginnings of the Internet
search engine and computer webcasting. The need for
server farms to run and operate Internet
information directories like GoTo.com, Smart90,
Lookradio, Amazon, Yahoo and Google was perfected
in Pasadena.
••-
Pasadena
is still the place to be remembered for LookRadio,
NBS100, Idealab and GoTo.com. Idealab and GoTo.com
was founded in March, 1996 by Wm Gross. Vine Street
Video, Rosemont, NBS100, Smart90, and LookRadio
were founded by Troy and Josie Cory in 1974, 1978,
1990 and 1996
respectfully.
••-
The
original Rosemont 10-acre proprty site near the
Rose Bowl was built in 1916 for the Chicago family
of Jack and Gertrude Daniels, who had spent
previous winters in Pasadena and eventually decided
to put down roots
there.
••-To
design their home, the couple hired the Los Angeles
firm of Allison & Allison, architects best
known for award-winning designs of public
buildings, churches and schools (including UCLA's
Royce Hall and Kerchoff Hall). Landscape architect
Paul Thiene, who worked on San Diego's Balboa Park
for the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition, was
hired to design the grounds of the Daniels' new
home.
Part
02 /
History about Jack Daniels
Mr.
Daniels had been disabled by a stroke in 1912, and,
after their move to Pasadena in 1916, it was Mrs.
Daniels who was quite active, working with a local
California historical group, writing various
articles and other publications, and supporting the
World War I effort, in which two sons served
overseas. After the war, Mrs. Daniels remained in
the house for a few years, and enjoyed time with
her grandchildren.
••--In
1923, the Daniels home was sold to David
Blankenhorn, whose capital had recently grown
enormously, after Blankenhorn's sale of Catalina
Island to William Wrigley, Jr. Since then, the
house has been owned by the Callaghans, who in 1952
added the pool to the backyard; and Troy and Josie
Cory, who have converted the rambling estate into a
television production facility and private
studio.
••--
As
was typical of houses built during the early part
of the century, the Daniels home is a combination
of architectural styles. The dormers, steep roof
and somewhat simple horizontally oriented facade
resemble c.1918 those of French chateaux during the
Renaissance. The 9,OOO-square-foot interior is
American Colonial (more specifically, of the
post-Revolutionary Federalist period), with crown
moldings, carved columns and large fireplaces.
Except for the large formal drawing room and dining
room, the other areas of the five-bedroom house are
cozier and relatively modest in size.
••--
The
front of the house, originally designed to be
formal yet open, retains that look, with manicured
trees and shrubs close to the facade and a paved
front drive that encircles a working fountain. The
more private back and side yards overlook the
picturesque Arroyo Seco, a now-dry brook bed turned
park adjacent to the Rose Bowl. More wild than the
grand and simple front area, the yards are framed
by trees set back from the house, partially
screening it from the Arroyo.
••--
Over
the years, since 1979, Troy & Josie Cory have
taken the biggest pride in taking care of its
rambling gardens, and the settings are used for
filming and video taping weddings and large
Hollywood gatherings. Some of the historically
based films, produced on the long-winding Rosemont
Estate, include "Captains and the Kings," "The
Amelia Erhart Story" and "Eleanor and Franklin: The
White House Years," and since the early 1980s, "The
Troy Cory Show," and "R& B Plus" have been
filmed and video taped at the near two acre
estate.

The
Pasadena Showcase House for the
Arts
("PSHA")
is a non-profit California corporation. The
Pasadena Showcase House of Design ("Showcase") is
produced as the annual benefit, combining the
efforts of PSHA members with over 50 designers who
transform the interior and grounds of an estate
selected by PSHA.
The
success of Showcase has resulted in cumulative
donations in excess of $11 million to the Los
Angeles Philharmonic and other local non-profit
organizations.
PSHA
members volunteer their time:
- to
support and further the work of the
Los
Angeles
Philharmonic
and other local public benefit symphonic
associations. (PSHA is the largest single donor
to the Los Angeles Philharmonic by donating over
$10 million to this world class orchestra
including $1 million to the Walt Disney Concert
Hall, scheduled to be completed in spring 2003.)
- to
foster public interest in and appreciation for
symphony; and
- to
support symphonic, cultural and education
programs for young people in the greater
Pasadena area of California.
Other
PSHA programs funded from Showcase proceeds include
the Music MobileTM Program, the Pasadena
Showcase House Youth Concert for children, and the
Pasadena Showcase House Instrumental Competition
for young musicians.
