Ellen Hadden
Ellen Hadden (April 2, 1877, Ireland - January 15, 1949, Palo Alto, California) was a designer and decorator.
Hadden was the daughter of David Henry Hadden and Elizabeth Vickery Hadden.[1] Her father was a physician. She moved to the United States in 1891,[2] emigrating with her widowed mother and her five siblings. They settled in the San Francisco Bay area, where Hadden's uncle, William Kingston Vickery, was a noted art dealer.
By the 1930s Hadden had settled on the Monterey Peninsula. She studied locally with Ralph Johonnot who held Johonnot Summer School of Design and Hand Work in Pacific Grove. [3] In 1921 Ellen and Mary A. Hadden purchased a property in Pacific Grove, California.[4] She owned a house on 1353 Arena Avenue (The Brown House) which she built about 1922. This cottage was one lot away from the beach. [5] Her embroidery studio was in a separate little cottage (The Pink House). Some of Ellen's embroidery was displayed during the San Francisco Pan American Exposition in 1915 and Golden Gate International Exposition.[3] Nearby in Asilomar was Waldvogel Studio, The Embroidery.
One of her sisters was Anne Hadden. Her other sisters were Elizabeth and Fannie Hadden of Oakland and Georgina Hadden of Pasadena.
She died at Palo Alto Hospital.
