The bungalow court, believed to have originated in Pasadena, offered single-family amenities at apartment-house cost. Haskett Court is one of the last of its kind, with individualized floor plans that give residents privacy.","narrative":"Haskett Court is a bungalow court at 824-834 East California Boulevard in Pasadena, completed in 1926. Five one-story buildings containing six units are arranged in a U-plan along a central walkway, with a double unit closing the south end. Each cottage has its own floor plan, which gives residents privacy on a lot only 75 feet wide. The buildings recall English country cottages, with unpainted stucco walls, dark stained timber brackets, multi-paned windows and steep shingled roofs that make them look taller than their single storey. Formal hedges, a rose garden and a rustic gate complete the setting. Architect Charles E. Ruhe, better known for larger houses in Pasadena's best neighborhoods, designed the court for W. B. Haskett, who intended one unit as his own home. It was recognized as one of the finest surviving 1920s bungalow courts in the city, a housing type that began around 1910 and faded after about 1930.","period_of_significance":"1926","architect_builder":"Architect Charles E.
