It credits an attractive scheme of Spanish detailing, asymmetrical massing and mature landscaping. Its importance is strengthened by six other courts nearby on Marengo Avenue and several more on streets to the east.","narrative":"Don Carlos Court is a bungalow court at 374-386 South Marengo Avenue in Pasadena, built in 1927 by contractor Clarence Hudson Burrell. It contains seven separate units: six one-story buildings and a two-story building across the rear. All are stucco with tiled gable roofs. Spanish detailing includes wooden grilles on some windows facing the street and courtyard, and a central walkway has a combined birdbath and planter. Lush landscaping of flowering shrubs and mature trees adds to the setting. The court was listed as part of a group of Pasadena bungalow courts because it is considered the best example of a Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow court in the city. Its asymmetrical massing and consistent Spanish detailing are singled out. Its place on Marengo Avenue also matters, since six other courts stand nearby on the same street and several more lie on the streets to the east, forming a notable concentration of this housing type.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Clarence Hudson Burrell (contractor)","architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.68751-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/83001191.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001191/f0f7053567-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001191/f0f7053567-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Adrianne Wadewitz","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DonCarlosCourt2.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Adrianne Wadewitz</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:DonCarlosCourt2.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857454","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Carlos_Court","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14681848"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/don-carlos-court-83001191/"}
