Today, November 16, is the birthday of Pearl Chase, born in Boston 1888, the woman who did so much to shape Santa Barbara. 

We give thanks for her long and remarkable life and the commitment to the preservation of our beautiful community that continues in her name through the Pearl Chase Society. 

Here are a few unique  photos, from their collection.
