Resource Description:
Notes: 1952 - City of Pasadena Building Permit 7950-L 



Although built too late for the period of significance and not eligible for listing in the National Register, this 1952 court retains the low-scale and sense of community among its buildings seen in the earlier bungalow courts. The irregularly-shaped fourplex buildings flanking a landscaped central court utilize a variety of Ranch style materials and motifs, including vertical board exterior finishes and Ranch-style shutters, X-patterned muntins in the double-hung window sashes with bracket-support ledges or window boxes beneath, wood railings at porches and exterior staircases, and a front-gable dormer at the roof ridge.
