| The
Gilmore House |
|
Architect
& Builder: Roehrig and Locke, 1891 |
|
This
excellent example of a Neoclassical style
house was built for Quincy Adams Gilmore,
a prominent Pasadena citizen and businessman.
He lived here until his death in 1900. His
heirs sold the home in 1906 to Robert Burr,
a building contractor who built 1110 and 1120
N Garfield Ave. This twelve room home still
celebrates nearly all of i’s original
features inside and out. A barn and small
orchard occupied the rear of the property.
The barn burned down in the mid 1980’s.
The rear was later subdivided in the ‘90’s
and two historic homes were moved on to the
lot. |

Foursquare Vernacular, 1908 |
Featured on our 2005
Home Tour as the "Hardhat House," this
two-story home has undergone extensive
renovation. It was built by Frank A. Crosby
in 1908 at a cost of $2,700. It was
remodeled in 1971 and converted into a
duplex.
The previous owner began by taking out an
enclosed porch that had been used as a
kitchen and discovered the original boxed
column porch supports. He also discovered
the original fireplace in the parlor hidden
under layers of drywall, as well as a
hallway pocket door and a staircase with
some of the original banisters.

with a raised front porch flanked by an open
trellis. Pairs of slim posts support the
peaked entry. The vent at the top of the
gable features small Doric columns. Triple
windows with slim muntins are set on either
side of the front door. This
home was built by Walter A. Waldock for
$4,000. Waldock built more than 20 notable
houses in Pasadena between 1905 and 1917,
including homes at 918 and 984 N. Marengo. |

A side gabled roof tops
this one and one-half story bungalow,
which was built by Edward A. Murphy for
$1,700, including the garage. The entry
porch, which spans the right two bays of
the home, has a flat roof supported by
three plain posts. A diamond mullioned
transom tops the window adjacent to the
front door. There is a matching window
on the side bay.
There is a gabled dormer
in the center of the roof plane. Three
knee braces are placed along the roof's
open cornice. The property is surrounded
by a low stone wall.
