IN 1985, HONORABLE DOROTHY W. NELSON AND A GROUP OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS FROM THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE 9TH CIRCUIT JOINED WITH THE CITY OF PASADENA TO RAISE 500,000 TO ACQUIRE THESE FOUR BUNGALOWS. THE CITY OF PASADENA PURCHASED THE SITE AND STRUCTURES FROM THE FEDERAL GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (GSA) AND LEASED THEM TO WJCF ON A LONG-TERM BASIS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES.
