*P3a. Description:
(Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
|
This two-story stucco-over-brick building anchors the southwest corner of the intersection of Raymond Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. The second story retains most of the original decorative elements from the 1928 remodel including a series of symmetrical scrolled ornaments projecting above the parapet, and a wide checkerboard frieze framed by two cornices just below the parapet. The multi-pane second story windows are accented by heavy lintels and mock pilaster capitals in a scroll-and-leaves design above each window, and a decorative false metal balcony below each window. An egg-and-dart patterned horizontal band separates the first and second stories. The first story includes plain pilasters with Doric capitals dividing multiple storefronts, large glass display windows, marble-faced bulkheads and a ribbon-window transom. The building is historically important as the long-time location of Vroman’s bookstore and for its connection with Alexander Stowell, a prominent Pasadenean. The building underwent a certified rehabilitation in 1982.
