It represents the detached, narrow enclosed court type and keeps its integrity.

Built in 1922, it groups eight identical wood-frame bungalows and a two-story duplex in a U-shaped layout on a lot 95 feet wide by 182 feet deep. Each bungalow has a jerkinhead roof, a centered columned portico and multi-paned windows. Concrete entry pillars and a tall original light standard mark the central walkway. Joseph Harnetiaux is listed on the building permit as architect, builder and owner, and he built the court with his two brothers and his uncle. The court was listed as one of the best and most intact examples of the bungalow court form in Pasadena. Such courts offered moderate-cost housing near streetcar lines, shops and downtown, balancing privacy with community living. Its Colonial Revival detailing shows how a style once used for mansions reached modest homes. Restoration in 1983 renewed interior features typical of the 1920s.","period_of_significance":"1922","architect_builder":"Harnetiaux, Joseph (Architect/Builder)","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as multiple dwellings; exteriors and interiors were restored in 1983.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.712661-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/94001321.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001321/91545bd482-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94001321/91545bd482-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"TheCatalyst31","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harnetiaux_Court_1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">TheCatalyst31</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:Harnetiaux_Court_1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857480","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harnetiaux_Court","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14682112"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/harnetiaux-court-94001321/"}
