Why South Pasadena Homes Get Retrofitted
South Pasadena is one of the best-preserved older towns in the county. Whole streets of Craftsman and Victorian-era homes from the 1890s through the 1920s are still standing, nearly all on raised foundations with brick chimneys.
The Raymond Fault crosses South Pasadena, so some of the oldest wood-frame houses in the region sit right alongside a mapped fault.
