This home has been described as,
In 1909, Laura S. Eddy purchased an undeveloped lot in the new, prestigious Prospect Park Tract that in 1906 had been laid out along the eastern edge of the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena. She commissioned well-known Pasadena builder B.M. Wotkyns, Jr. to design and construct a new home for her in the then-popular Craftsman style. Mr. Wotkyns was part of a pioneer Pasadena family who were instrumental in the economic and residential growth of the city. This wonderful property is located near the Gamble House and is included in their Walking Tour of the neighborhood. The home designed in the Bungalow style, has neo-classic elements that create a more traditional approach to the Arts and Crafts design. The living room, with Batchelder tile front fireplace, has an extensive amount of windows that capture wonderful views of the gardens. The home retains many lovely original details including the extensive use of old growth wood in both the floors and the wall and ceiling trim.
