Dillinger House is a comfortable, fully furnished, 1953 mid-century cinder block home in the Altadena foothills (designed by noted architect Ken Gordon) appropriate for professionals requiring extended stay accommodations.

Located off a private road in a quiet, semi-rural neighborhood on the boundary of Angeles National Forest with hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trail access and parkland adjacent. ~2 miles from JPL and close to Caltech & Pasadena. Beautiful views, excellent birding & relatively dark skies.

About Me
Robert Staehle and I have been privileged to work many years for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) that is operated by CALTECH. JPL is a world-renowned center for robotic exploration of space, from Earth observing instruments, to rovers on Mars, to stars beyond our own Solar System. We enjoy hosting visiting scientists, engineers, writers, and multimedia producers in the Dillinger House... as well as meeting interesting persons from all walks of life. Prior to my career at JPL, I was a Zoo Keeper at the Los Angeles Zoo. As a wildlife biologist, I am interested in the intersection between the physical and biological sciences. We enjoy the local wildlife, wildflowers, trails, and rugged vistas in Angeles National Forest that forms the northern boundary of our home and the Dillinger House. Rob and I are cofounders of Tubb Canyon Desert Conservancy (TCDC). Lori
