The two-story estate was originally constructed in 1888 as part of a small development of homes known as the Vosburg Tract. I knew that if the residence was anywhere in the area, it would likely be in northeast Pasadena, so I set my sights there and, after quite a bit of searching, finally came across it at 3426 Barhite Street.
That thought almost made me dismiss looking in Crown City altogether, but thankfully I forged ahead. When my dad called me up after noticing the house on the show himself a couple of days later and asked if I had any intel on its location, I knew I had to track it down STAT! Considering the home’s large lot, abundant foliage, and colonial style, my first inkling was that it was in Pasadena, though I couldn’t imagine such a stunning manse existing in my former town and not having any knowledge of it. The sweeping porch, the cascade of canopied trees, the wooden swing – there was no part of the picturesque property that I was not completely smitten with. So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G. I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.
