1.2 MILES ■ 30-MINUTE WALK ■ 7-MINUTE BIKE RIDE PARK ON LANDOR, JUST SOUTH OF CALIFORNIA

These lush and picturesque estates sprouted from orange groves in the 1920s. The south side of Lombardy was once part of Henry Huntington’s ranch. Returning from European study, the aspiring gentlemen architects of the time created fanciful reconstructions of their half-remembered visions of rural Spain and Italy. Lombardy Road is a menu of their sources—rich and tasty fare! The architects felt these images were appropriate to Southern California because of its similar climate and landscape. Roland Coate, in particular, was constantly striving to come up with something that was quintessentially Californian—a combination of Mediterranean and Colonial styles. His house at 1750 Lombardy is one attempt at this. 1779 Lombardy recalls an Andalusian farmhouse. The sumptuous residence at 2035 Lombardy by Wallace Neff would shame the most romantic Hollywood set. And by this same architect, we find a group of very livable houses on Berkeley Avenue, each with a balcony or enclosed garden. Stephens House, 1928

(formerly Grace Nicholson Building, 1924) 46 North Los Robles Avenue

A forerunner of Southern California development trends, this fine residential Filmore Street neighborhood was built over orange groves and farmland beginning in 1906. Most of these hefty well-built family houses date from that time until about 1925. The bestknown local architects are represented: Charles and Alpine Street Henry Greene designed a ■ beautifully sited one-story Start bungalow, accentuated by terraced lawns, at 979 S. El Molino and an imposing two-story residence at 675 Glenarm Street S. Madison; Louis Easton’s only Mission Revival design is at 885 S. Madison; Frederick Roehrig designed the fine Craftsman at 805 S. Madison with its diagonal bracing and other structural fetishes; a French design by Wallace Neff can be found at 707 S. Oakland; and two model homes for the original tract by Sylvanus Marston are at 920 and 932 S. Madison. In its early years, Pasadena created a well thought-out street/tree plan from which Madison Heights certainly benefited. 775

This neighborhood, declared a landmark district in 1989, reveals the quality and richness of conventional houses built during the Craftsman period (1900 to 1920). Unlike those on other tours, most of these houses were built by contractors or their original owners without architects. Designs were often adapted from popular “bungalow books,” which discussed such things as built-in buffets, boulder fireplaces and the scent of jasmine through French doors. For $5 to $10 one could order minimal plans and a clever carpenter would improvise the details. Since many homes were built for under $3,000, they were affordable for most residents. Michigan and Mar Vista Avenues contain some of the tastiest bungalows, but this neighborhood is much larger than the tour. You will see in these houses charming touches, such as an entry that is part of a chimney, brick-and-boulder walls, and vine-covered pergolas. Bungalow Heaven experienced a surge of restoration activity beginning in the late 1970s, so a majority of the houses have now been refurbished in authentic historical style. If you would like a longer tour, explore Chester Avenue, which was more recently added to the landmark district.

Pasadena’s civic center was planned in the early 1920s. These spacious and richly detailed buildings, broad boulevards and park-like settings are firmly rooted by a civic axis. In this scheme, the Library commands the north end, balanced by the Civic Auditorium at the south, with City Hall at the center. Walking beneath City Hall’s dome—visible for miles—we expect a rotunda, but instead are surprised to discover a fountain courtyard with meticulously groomed flower beds and shaded lawns. The courtyard walk continues across Euclid, past All Saints Church and through the pleasant cityscape that is Plaza Las Fuentes. Your route includes Pasadena’s downtown of the 1920s, now revived with the addition of Paseo Colorado and many residential buildings. Be sure to note the amazing use of terra cotta on the Pacific Asia Museum (46 N. Los Robles) and on the Warner Building (477 E. Colorado). The Pasadena Playhouse (39 S. El Molino), which is now giving its name to the surrounding district, is recognized as the official state theater of California.

This tour includes an overview of Pasadena’s oldest commercial area. One favorite ensemble is the old Santa Fe station, Central Park and the former Green Hotel, linked by a shared past. During the city’s days as a resort, Eastern visitors could alight from the train, walk up the street to the Green Hotel, and after checking in, enjoy a stroll in the park (in the middle of winter, no less!). The peculiar bridge that now extends from Castle Green once spanned the street to the older part of the hotel. Hotel visitors were also close to all the major stores and services clustered around the junction of Colorado and Fair Oaks. Old Pasadena, once down-at-heel, is again one of the great economic and social centers of Pasadena life. Restoration and revitalization began in the late 1970s, and in 1983 Old Pasadena became a National Register Historic District. As you walk along the streets, look above the display windows at the varieties of style and ornamentation. (All the storefronts date from 1928 when Colorado was widened, but many of the buildings behind them were constructed before 1900). If you can tear yourself away from window shopping and people watching, look out for interesting alleys to explore (most with bronze plaques to explain their history), fading 19th century signs on the sides of buildings, and those unique, yet strictly legal, diagonal crosswalks!

This is one of the few 459 325 299 265 Pasadena neighborhoods 460 310 Bellefontaine Street that boasts pre-1900 houses in quantity and good repair. Orange Grove was the first prime residential street when Pasadena was first founded in 1874 as the Indiana Colony. After incorporation in 1886, the city became a noted winter destination for wealthy visitors from the East and boasted six large resort hotels. Magnificent mansions and gardens began to replace the earlier farms along Orange Grove, earning it the nickname “Millionaires’ Row.” As more new residents arrived (including California Governor Henry H. Markham), Orange Grove addresses became scarce, so new side streets were cut in. In the 1950s, garden apartments replaced the aging estates along Orange Grove, but the side streets still have many turn-of-thecentury houses. Built to recall Eastern-style homes, the earliest were staunch and upright Queen Ann Victorians like 346 Markham. Also popular was the American Colonial Revival, most visible at 337 Markham. 271 Markham is Shingle Style; although not dark brown, its billowing forms are still evocative of the Eastern seaboard. As you walk along St. John Avenue, visualize the east side of the street replaced by the Long Beach Freeway—first planned in the 1950s and still, as of this writing, an officially adopted route. The rest of the neighborhood to the west became a local landmark district in 2005.

The lower Arroyo Seco was settled around 1910 by artists and other bohemians who were drawn to this lovely oak glen and wished to avoid the high-society types along South Orange Grove Avenue, just up the hill to the east. Many who built here were advocates of the Craftsman esthetic movement and its veneration of nature and simplicity. Most of their houses were built rugged and woody, often with foundations of cobblestones brought up from the Arroyo. One artist was painter Jean Mannheim whose 1909 studio is still intact at 500 S. Arroyo. The Pacific Oaks School at 714 W. California was established in 1945 using existing oak-shaded bungalows as its campus. The friendly creature at 686 W. California was designed by the Irish immigrant Louis DuPuget Millar for an Englishman, perhaps homesick for the thatched roofs of the Cotswolds. The architect/carpenter Louis Easton built one of his finest redwood houses at 620 S. Grand. At 626 S. Arroyo, the tilemaker and teacher Ernest Batchelder constructed his home and first production kilns.

La Loma Bridge

In 1882, a suspension bridge Holly Street was built where Holly Street is ve Dri a t Vis today, connecting this remote lly Ho west bank of the Arroyo Seco to Pasadena. It was 215 sport, then, to camp in the sycamores for a weekend and catch fresh trout for breakfast in the year-round stream. Although the greasewood and 187 chaparral have been carved 181 away, one still feels a certain El Circulo remoteness here. The 1910 95 vintage Swiss chalets on Mira 65 Vista peer across the Arroyo to 825 the Vista del Arroyo Hotel and “Little Switzerland.” The gates y reewa on Linda Vista near Holly once 134 F led to the Armour estate. The arched bridges loom large to the south, and in their shadows lie three superb houses of the 1920s by Edward Fowler. An amateur in the best sense, Fowler’s models were from photographs of rural Spain, and his imagination provided the rest.

MARKHAM VICTORIAN DISTRICT

Once the site of a sheep ranch owned by Henry Huntington, Oak Knoll was developed into large estates around 1906. This rolling, oak-covered landscape dropped into Kewen Canyon on the east and looked over plains leading to the Old Mill and the San Gabriel Mission on the south. At the southerly ridge in 1906, the Wentworth Hotel (now The Langham Huntington, Pasadena) was begun. Impressive houses were built nearby, many in the 1920s and later. The well-known R. R. Blacker House (1177 Hillcrest) by Greene & Greene, once a 7-acre estate, dominates the neighborhood even today. Many parcels were later subdivided where extensive gardens once flourished. The perforated concrete wall along Oak Knoll by the Greenes once enclosed the gardens of their Culbertson House (1188 Hillcrest), which included an aqueduct leading from a courtyard fountain down a series of terraces to a lily pond in the canyon. Most houses on this tour are visible from the sidewalk despite hedges. An amusing variety of offbeat styles are represented: 1395 Ridge Way, an interloper from Hollywood, complete with lotus finials; 1361 Ridge Way, sporting rustic logs of Craftsman persuasion; and 1233 Wentworth, pure “storybook.”

This neighborhood bordering the Arroyo Seco is the best place to view the work of Charles and Henry Greene, as well as some fine houses by their contemporaries. Arroyo Terrace was once solid Greene & Greene, including walks and landscaping. Charles’ own house (368), begun in 1902, was built around a huge oak tree. Most of the rustic houses had a front view of the Arroyo and a rear view of a conifer-surrounded picturesque reservoir at the crest of the hill, leading to the neighborhood’s nickname of “Little Switzerland.” Westmoreland Place, one of the earliest “gated” communities, has two surviving Greene & Greene houses: 2 Westmoreland, now a part of the Neighborhood Church campus (note the tremendous rock chimney), and the famous Gamble House at 4 Westmoreland, which is open for public tours. The Prospect Park area was a 1906 tract with camphor tree-shaded streets, clinker-brick portals on Orange Grove, and one house (657 Prospect) designed by the Greenes. The Prospect Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The Pasadena Museum of History (170 N. Orange Grove) was once the Finnish consulate.
