C. Parlee on roughly half an acre. A torii-like structure marks the entrance to the court, which holds twelve separate units and one double unit across the rear. The buildings have exposed beams, a mix of low-pitched jerkinhead, gable and shed rooflines, and both shingle and clapboard exteriors. Two central walkways run through the grounds, with squat square brick piers capped in concrete serving as light standards. The court was listed as part of a group of Pasadena bungalow courts. It is described as one of a handful of surviving Craftsman-era courts, and it shows how designers varied the detailing to give each unit and the court as a whole its own identity. The entrance torii, set on stones in the manner of its Japanese prototype, is a particularly notable feature. The description also notes that the buildings and grounds needed improved maintenance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A. C.
