From our exclusive Pasadena Cat's Meow series. The corner of Mountain and Hogneck Road has long been a landmark in the Pasadena area. The Pastore’s Building, with its gabled roof and eye-catching light green color, was built in 1931. In 1987, this building was torn down to make way for a new 17,000 square foot strip plaza. The original one-room store was built in 1908 and for years was known as Hillman’s store.
