A non-contributing two-car garage dates from 1935.","why_significant":"The house is an excellent example of the Shingle style within Pasadena's Arts and Crafts single-family residence property type. It retains integrity and is one of few Pasadena houses with Shingle style columns. Its curved hoods, rounded beam-to-column junctures and lack of corner boards are distinguishing features, alongside Queen Anne detailing.","narrative":"Built in 1896 in Pasadena's Claremont Tract, this two-story Shingle style house sits on the east side of North Los Robles Avenue. Its architect, builder and original owner are unknown. Originally facing south toward East Claremont Street, the house was turned to face west in 1912, when the southern part of the lot was sold. Walls are clad in coursed wood shingles, with wave-patterned shingles in the overhanging gable ends, a shingled bowed hood over the attic windows, and a river rock foundation. Shingled columns support a north side porch, and the corners of the beam-to-column junctures are rounded. Queen Anne influences appear in the mix of shingle patterns, cutaway bay windows and an interior turned spindle balustrade. Later changes include a 1940s rear laundry room and a 2000 reroof and foundation retrofit. The house was listed as an example of Arts and Crafts era residential design in Pasadena, and it remains a single dwelling in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"1896","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements/Late Victorian/Shingle","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition with a high degree of architectural integrity; currently used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.530932-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/04000329.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000329/7636ede59e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000329/7636ede59e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Brianyoungramirez","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_1240_North_Los_Robles.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Brianyoungramirez</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_1240_North_Los_Robles.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857500","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_1240_North_Los_Robles","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18151988"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/house-at-1240-north-los-robles-04000329/"}
