Harnetiaux Court meets the registration requirements for its property type. The court is an example of the detached narrow court (enclosed) form of bungalow court. It is one of fourteen examples of this form and one of six examples of the Colonial Revival style classified under this form in the Bungalow Courts in Pasadena National Register Multiple Property Nomination.
Harnetiaux Court is one of the most intact examples of the bungalow courts which proliferated on the streets close to Colorado Boulevard in the early to mid-1920's. This was a prime location, close to streetcar lines, shopping and the central business district of Pasadena. Affordable housing in this area was increasingly desired by the growing population of the city. Living in a bungalow court on the smaller side streets such as Catalina Avenue, one could be close to the urban amenities for a moderate cost. The design of these courts provided a balanced measure of secluded privacy and community living. IN 1921 the Pasadena Star-News documented the growing popularity of the bungalow courts in this area: "There are some charming courts on the avenues north and south of Colorado [boulevard], so well kept and so attractive that their open view has almost an effect of a city park."
This bungalow court was built in 1922 by Joseph Haretiaux, his two brothers and his uncle. Joseph Harnetiaux is listed on the building permit as the architect, builder and owner. His daughter, Mildred Harnetiauz Eastwood said in a 1983 interview, "Our father drew up the plans himself, but Mr. Vore, the building inspector for the City of Pasasdena, lived right behind the court and he helped father a lot." The sing units cost $2,000 - 2,500 each and the duplex, $3,000.
The distinctive architectural detailing characteristic of the Colonial Revival style of the early 1920's is present including the use of jerkinhead roofs, columned entry porticoes and multi-paned windows. The presence of such stylistic elements in modest 20' by 30' bungalows, when in the previous decade they graced high-style mansions, typifies the increased popularization of the style.
