Johnson as his own residence. It includes a rear garage and a vine-covered pergola.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an excellent example of the Anglo-American Colonial Revival style within the one-story bungalow subtype of Arts and Crafts single-family residences in Pasadena. It exemplifies the design, craftsmanship and materials of Arts and Crafts period residential architecture and retains integrity. Its symmetrical U-shaped plan, hipped roof, shingle walls and shuttered openings are cited as distinguishing features.","narrative":"Reginald D. Johnson designed this one-story house in Pasadena in 1911 as his own home. It sits at the corner of South Madison Avenue and Glenarm Street, set back about forty feet behind a grassy front yard with mature trees. The wood-frame house has a U-shaped plan, a shingle-clad hipped roof with jerkinhead ends, shingled walls, and symmetrically placed doors and shuttered windows. A brick terrace on the east side opens to a garden, linked to the house by a vine-covered pergola. A single-bay garage at the rear is original. A 1961 guest-room addition and later kitchen changes have not substantially altered the exterior. The property was listed for its architecture. It is regarded as an excellent Anglo-American Colonial Revival bungalow and an example of how Arts and Crafts values in design, craftsmanship and materials shaped Pasadena residential architecture in the early twentieth century.","period_of_significance":"1911","architect_builder":"Johnson, Reginald D.","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling with its original garage and pergola; the exterior has had few alterations since construction.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:26.932715-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/98000960.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000960/fc135f2564-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000960/fc135f2564-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"TheCatalyst31","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_1050_South_Madison_Avenue_2.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:House_at_1050_South_Madison_Avenue_2.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857494","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_at_1050_S._Madison_Ave.","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16995938"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/house-at-1050-s-madison-ave-98000960/"}
