Home of the Day: Pasadena Midcentury Modern with a Beatles connection

This Midcentury Modern residence among eucalyptus trees in northwest Pasadena counts Brown Meggs, the Capitol Records executive who signed the Beatles to the label in 1963, as one of two original owners.

Designed by architect Roland Russell, the single-story home is distinguished by its diamond-shaped roof line, a form that is repeated in the windows and raised ceilings. Inside, two glass-enclosed atriums and a pewter-faced wall fireplace are in keeping with the modernist style.
