Five homes built between 1892 and 1911 on Pasadena's famous "Millionaire's Row" on South Orange Grove are on the market for the first time in almost 50 years.

The homes have been part of the Worldwide Church of God's Ambassador College campus since they were purchased four to five decades ago. Frederick Roehrig, who designed the Green Hotel in Pasadena, designed three of the homes. Many South Orange Grove mansions were demolished in the '50s and '60s, but these were preserved as part of the campus.

They haven't been moved but are now in a newly designated landmark district. Among the architectural styles are Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Prairie. The asking prices range from $1.1 million to $1.8 million.

Diane Hardie-Aurit of Heritage Homes and Chris Dickson of Dickson Podley Realtors, Pasadena, have the listings.
