Designed by architects Cyril Bennett and Fitch Haskell, it was built in 1927 for the James H. Kindel Dodge Dealership. Tracy Holmes, an artist well known for her NASCAR series, not only provides other artists the opportunity to exhibit their work but also, with husband Tom, uses the exhibitions to raise money for the Children's Center for the Arts. The Children's Center is a school day art program designed to expand classroom curriculum. in cooperation with Pasadena Unified elementary schools. The curriculum focuses on enhancing a child's visual and performing arts experiences, helping to restore the arts to their rightful place in the educational spectrum. For the past three years. Paulette Lee, a California Art Club advisory board member and director of non-gallery exhibitions, has volunteered to curate the Holmes Art Exhibitions.
