Easton for W.L. Mead.","why_significant":"It is argued to be an excellent example of a two-story Craftsman house and embodies the design, craftsmanship and materials of Arts and Crafts residential architecture in Pasadena. Features include wide eaves with Swiss or Tyrolean chalet influence, and rough-cast stucco combined with cedar shingles. It also retains the redwood interior treatment characteristic of Easton's houses, and keeps its integrity despite alterations.","narrative":"This two-story Craftsman house on West Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena was built in 1910 for W.L. Mead and designed by architect Louis B. Easton. It has a brick foundation and full basement, a wood frame, a front-facing gable roof of wood shingles, and walls of rough-cast stucco on the first floor and cedar shingles above. Wide sheltering eaves reflect the influence of the Swiss or Tyrolean chalet, and a covered terrace with splayed brick piers wraps the northeast corner. Inside, clear redwood paneling lines the entry hall and forms the wainscot in the living and dining rooms, a treatment typical of Easton's houses, along with exposed beams and quarter-sawn oak floors. Later changes include a porte-cochere, a rear deck and a 1979 driveway, but the house keeps its form and character-defining features. It was recognized for its architecture as an excellent example of the two-story Craftsman house in Pasadena, and it is also a designated city landmark from 1979.","period_of_significance":"1910","architect_builder":"Easton, Louis B.","architectural_style":"Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; a non-contributing garage built by 1928 stands on the property.
