About This Home
As of January 2026Welcome to 1200 South Pasadena Avenue, Pasadena, a single story vernacular Italianate cottage built in 1885 by an unknown architect, as noted in the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District, it has an asymmetrical, multi-level roof that includes a primary hipped roof, side gables, and a one-story polygonal tower. All have boxed eaves and a decorative cornice with carved brackets. Exteriors are clad in a variety of wood siding including clapboard, tongue and groove and shiplap. A one-story entry porch has a brick stoop and stairs, a hipped roof and delicate turned porch supports. Wood frames with a simple segmentally arched crown and carved corbels are notable details. This house is one of the few remaining Italianate cottages from the pre-1890 period in Pasadena's history. A one-story, single-bay garage lies northeast of the house at the end of a scored concrete driveway. It has a front-gabled roof and exteriors clad in weatherboard siding with a double-leaf barn door constructed of wood. There appears to be a carport attached to the south. An outbuilding first appears in this location in 1910. Utilities have been off for an extended period of time and will not be activated for inspections. Property is currently not habitable and there are health and safety concerns.
