Cordelia A. Culbertson House, Historic residence on Hillcrest Avenue, Pasadena, United States.

The Cordelia A. Culbertson House is a single-family home at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Pasadena, California. Built in 1911 by Charles and Henry Greene, it has a U-shaped floor plan, gunite exterior walls, and a tile roof. An Italian garden sits at the center of the home, and Chinese elements appear throughout, particularly on the south side.

Cordelia Culbertson, the eldest of three unmarried sisters, commissioned the house, built in 1911 by Charles and Henry Greene. In 1917 the wealthy Cleveland widow Mrs. Dudley P. Allen bought it as a summer home; her second husband, Francis F. Prentiss, died there in 1937. It joined the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985.

The house blends Craftsman style with Eastern influences in a way that shows how early 1900s wealthy homeowners mixed design traditions from different parts of the world.

The house stands at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Pasadena and is a private residence, so the exterior, the gunite walls and the tile roof are what can be seen from the street. The Italian garden lies at the centre of the U-shaped plan, enclosed by the wings of the house. Look for the ceramics on the walls, capitals and fountain.

The house carries exterior ceramics from five manufacturers. Grueby Faience Company made small floral tiles set into the gunite walls, Batchelder Tile Company produced column capitals with crouching musicians, and Ludowici-Celadon supplied the red and green roof tiles. Gladding, McBean ornamented the grounds with large planters and animal figures, while Pewabic Pottery tiles line the courtyard fountain.
