Park Place-Arroyo Terrace Historic District, Residential historic district in northwest Pasadena, United States.
Park Place-Arroyo Terrace Historic District contains eleven residential homes built between 1902 and 1912, showing Colonial Revival and Prairie School architectural styles. The homes sit within a roughly 7-acre area that spreads along three main streets in the northwest part of Pasadena.
The district developed in the early 1900s as a residential community for prosperous families during Pasadena's growth period. Seven of the homes were designed by brothers Charles and Henry Greene, representing the largest grouping of their architectural work in the city.
The district shows influences of the Arts and Crafts Movement through handmade details and natural materials visible on each home. As you walk the streets, you notice how the houses emphasize individual craftsmanship and careful design choices.
The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can see the building details clearly from the street. Since the district is open to walk through, you can explore the homes and streets at your own pace without needing reservations or planning.
Architect Myron Hunt chose this location for his own home and helped shape the neighborhood's character. His personal attachment to the place adds a special layer to what visitors experience when walking through.
