Grand Avenue in Pasadena, California, designed by architect Joseph J. Blick and built in 1903, with a detached carriage house at the rear dating from about 1898.","why_significant":"The house is nominated as a locally significant, notable example of the Shingle Style subtype of single-family residence in Pasadena. It is also an important example of the work of prominent local architect Joseph J. Blick, and one of his earliest surviving works. Its design shows a transition toward the American Arts and Crafts movement, and it retains a high level of integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1903 on South Grand Avenue in Pasadena, this two-and-one-half story house is an example of Shingle Style residential design by local architect Joseph J. Blick. It has an irregular plan, cross-gabled roofs, wood shingle walls, grouped windows and a polygonal bay. A porch with heavy square posts and long brackets reflects Arts and Crafts influence, showing the shift in Pasadena design at the turn of the century. A one-and-one-half story carriage house stands at the rear, possibly dating to about 1898. The property was recognized for its architecture. It is a notable Shingle Style house in an area with a high concentration of such homes, and it is one of Blick's earliest surviving works. Blick later designed the Star-News Building, the Hall of Justice and the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Alterations, including a 2001 rear addition and a replaced porch railing, are minor, and the house keeps its original location, materials and character-defining features.","period_of_significance":"1898 - 1903","architect_builder":"Blick, Joseph J.
