California MPS House at 1011 S. Madison Ave. - National Register of Historic Places
Statement of Significance: Built in 1911, the house at 1011 South Madison Avenue was designed by the architect Sylvanus B. Marston. The dwelling represents the property type "Arts and Crafts Single-Family Residences in Pasadena," and is an excellent example of the Prairie School style within the subtype "two-story house." It meets the registration requirements under Criterion C, as it exemplifies the values of design, craftsmanship and materials which embody the philosophy and practice of Arts and Crafts period residential architecture in Pasadena, and the property retains integrity. Distinguishing features associated with the Prairie School style include its horizontally-oriented square box plan, low-pitched hipped roof, open side porch supported by large brick piers, and rows of casement windows. Although the residence has had an addition to the southwest corner, the character defining features are intact and it remains one of the best examples of the Prairie School style in Pasadena.
