At some point in time the home was affiliated with the Methodist Church.

This postcard mentions Metzer Hall (perhaps a
sister building to 'Robinson Hall'?)

The cafeteria was located in the above mentioned Metzer Hall.

Today, the locals know it as the 'Robincroft Castle' (built in 1900 and believed to be designed by J. Blick). The castle is located on Monk Hill in northwest Pasadena.
