Pilgrim Place, Claremont, CA
Pilgrim Place is a retirement community in Claremont, CA where we foster an inclusive, vibrant lifestyle for seniors committed to justice, peace, & care of the earth. After many years here, it is easy for me to say, this is a perfect place for my life--
today and tomorrow.

One of the joys of living at Pilgrim Place is that residential housing on the campus is quite varied--in Independent Living and Assisted Living. We have free-standing houses (of varying sizes), small cottages, duplexes, apartments (large and smaller.) This diversity of architectural styles creates an interesting landscape throughout our campus with it's winding streets and magnificent, old-growth trees.

Removing the Tall Palms from Old 6th Street
In 2009 and 2010, Pilgrim Place built two new apartment buildings, one to house administration and and Independent Living residential apartments; another to house Assisted Living residents (1st floor) and Independent residents (2nd floor) apartments. In order to accomplish this some aged-out campus housing was removed ... and part of 6th Street lined with historic palms. I painted these trees several times to honor their well over 80 years of gracing the Pilgrim Place campus.
