Property Description
Welcome to 225 West State Street, single-family Craftsman Bungalow designed by famed architects Greene and Greene and located in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District. Built in 1903, as noted in the National Register of Historic Places, this home has a masonry foundation and exteriors clad in clapboard siding. The low-pitch, side-gabled roof has an exaggerated roof rake with triangular knee braces and purlins, and open eaves with extended rafter tails. There are latticework vents at the top of both gables. A large portico in the southwest corner of house is part of a full-length porch that stretched across the front elevation. It has exposed beams, chamfered posts, simple brackets and a shed roof that is an extension of the main roofline. The front door is oversized and in a Craftsman style, with three wood panels at bottom. An inset roof dormer on the front slope has a pair of awning windows; a shed-roofed dormer on the rear roof slope has a single wood sash window with lamb's tongues. There is a one-story, partial-length sleeping porch with a shed roof across the rear elevation, and an inset porch in the northeast corner with a low wall of board and batten siding with screens above. The house was designed for Dr. Francis Rowland, co-founder of the Tournament of Roses Association, by Charles and Henry Greene, and was originally located at 55 South Marengo Street. It was moved to its current location on State Street in 1912 and altered in 1915. The building is an early, vernacular design for the Greene brothers, before their work evolved into their trademark style. The house has some replacement windows. There is single-bay, two-car garage northeast of the house at the end of an asphalt driveway. It has a low-pitch, front-gabled roof with fascia trim, exteriors clad in stucco and a plywood door. The garage appears on 1931 and 1951 Sanborn maps. 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.
