Ritter. It has three one-story stuccoed buildings containing eight units.","why_significant":"The court is an example of the 1920s bungalow courts that reflected the popularity of architectural revival styles. No two units are alike, yet they relate to each other like a country village. It is also an integral part of a quiet, tree-lined residential street described as an encyclopedia of Pasadena housing forms from Victorian times through the mid-twentieth century.","narrative":"Three one-story stuccoed buildings holding eight units make up this bungalow court at 497-503-1/2 North Madison Avenue in Pasadena. It was built in 1928 to a design by A. Ritter and follows the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Ornamental window grilles, asymmetrically placed windows, arched openings and several tiled-roof designs give the court individuality and a rural Spanish atmosphere. A narrow courtyard holds only a walkway flanked by shrubbery. No two units are alike, yet they are related to one another in the manner of a country village. The court reflects the way 1920s bungalow courts followed the popular architectural revival styles. It also forms part of a quiet, tree-lined residential street that has been described as an encyclopedia of Pasadena housing forms, running from Victorian times through the mid-twentieth century. It was listed as one of several bungalow courts in the city, a group that includes earlier Craftsman and Mission-style examples.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.
