One of two primary, exclusive residential districts in Pasadena, California South Orange Grove has been a home for the rich and famous since the early 20th Century. Because of a number of landmark mansions, the street earned the name "Millionaire's Row". However, by the early 21st Century many of these homes had been replaced by spacious, pricey condominiums. Prominent among the historic residences is the Wrigley Mansion, former home of chewing gum magnet William Wrigley Jr., which now serves as headquarters for the world-renowned Tournament of Roses. On the north end of the street lies the Gamble House, built by renowned Arts & Crafts movement architects Greene & Greene, but once home to David and Mary Gamble of Procter & Gamble fame. The annual Rose Parade on New Year's Day uses South Orange Grove Boulevard as a staging area for flower-covered floats, and it is where the parade begins. The Norton Simon Museum sits at the intersection of Orange Grove and Colorado boulevards. The companion exclusive residential district is South Lake Avenue.
