Gilkinson during the 1920s boom in this housing type. Six identical wood-frame houses, each 24 by 26 feet, face one another in two groups of three across a central landscaped walkway on a lot 100 feet wide and 136 feet deep. Each has clapboard siding, a gabled roof, and a concrete porch with two round wood columns under a jerkinhead roof. Nine-over-one double-hung windows flank the front door. The design is Colonial Revival, a style widely used for small homes across America in the 1920s. The court was recognized for architecture as one of the best Pasadena examples of the detached, open bungalow court form. The houses and walkway remain unaltered and are still used as multiple dwellings. The architect is unknown, and Gilkinson is recorded as builder.","period_of_significance":"1922-1924","architect_builder":"Gilkinson, J.L.
