Originally constructed in 1913, the 224-foot-long heavy timber Picture Bridge at the Langham Huntington Hotel spans over a natural ravine and connects the main hotel tower with other amenities. In 2020, the Picture Bridge underwent a multi-million-dollar structural rehabilitation to meet current seismic code. The project received a 2021 California Preservation Foundation Design Award for retaining original design intent with sensitivity.

Chattel and the project team including Langham staff, project manager PEAK, structural engineer IMEG Corp. and contractor JRM Construction Management, collaborated with City of Pasadena and advisor Pasadena Heritage to rehabilitate the Picture Bridge and maintain historic integrity. Constructed in 1913, the Picture Bridge is a heavy timber pedestrian bridge designed by master architect Myron Hunt with paintings added in 1933 by artist Frank M. Moore. Severe deterioration of the structure and the paintings continued unabated until the project team arrived at a creative solution. A hybrid rehabilitation reused as much original historic fabric as possible, provided appropriate in kind replacements, and replicated the historic appearance by cladding new steel with redwood. The new wood clad steel support system is entirely hidden from view. The maximum amount of historic materials was retained, including the tile clad gable roof structure, salvaged and reinstalled wood guardrails, select decorative joist ends repaired with wood epoxy, and restoration of concrete flooring back to an earlier appearance based on historic documentation.

Installed in 1933, its namesake 40 triangular-shaped paintings by British impressionist artist Frank Montague Moore depict a variety of iconic California scenes, each accompanied by a corresponding poem by Paris-trained poet Donald Benson Blanding. As part of the project, facsimiles of the 40 paintings of California landscapes and landmarks were installed as a signal that future conservation and interpretation of the original paintings will be addressed at a later date.
