Scripps Hall, Arts and Crafts house in Altadena, United States

Scripps Hall was a three-story American Craftsman house designed by Charles W. Buchanan, built in 1904 as the centerpiece of William Armiger Scripps's estate in Altadena. It was destroyed in the 2025 Eaton Fire.

William Armiger Scripps built the house in 1904 on his Scripps Estate, then part of North Pasadena, while living in a bungalow on the grounds. After his death it passed to his grandson and the western portion was subdivided. In 1979, facing demolition, the Altadena Heritage Association arranged its sale to the Pasadena Waldorf School. It joined the National Register in 1999.

Scripps Hall takes its name from William Armiger Scripps, not E. W. Scripps: William built the house in 1904 with support from the family newspaper company, the E. W. Scripps Company. His sister Ellen Browning Scripps founded the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Scripps College, and William himself founded Scripps Home in Altadena for the elderly. From 1979 the Pasadena Waldorf School, part of a worldwide Waldorf network, held classes in the house until it burned in the 2025 Eaton Fire.

Scripps Hall stood in Altadena, in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, near the intersection of Mariposa Street and Fair Oaks Avenue. The upper school at 209 East Mariposa Avenue was completely destroyed in the 2025 Eaton Fire, so check current access conditions before planning a visit.

Scripps Hall was lost in the January 2025 Eaton Fire, which also destroyed the upper school at 209 East Mariposa Avenue. Before that, it was the most intact survivor of the estates that once lined Altadena's "Millionaire's Row."
