1255 Wentworth in Pasadena California is a 5 bedroom 7 bath home with 5915 SqFt.

This home has been described as, The Alfred E. Freeman House, 1926.L.C. Bauer, Designer and Builder. The first of two estates commissioned by the Freemans during the economic optimism of the 1920s, their L.C. Bauer-designed home reflects the eclectic, interpretive designs of Southern California regional vernacular architecture. Incorporating elements of Italianate, Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean revival themes, Bauer's well-executed design reflects the growing milieu of architectural eclecticism which dominated the region until the great depression. Far from the harsh New England winters Alfred Freeman experienced until his retirement to Pasadena in 1926, the bucolic South Oak Knoll neighborhood near the Huntington Hotel provided an idyllic setting for Freeman and his wife. While the Freemans only resided at their first home for one year until building their second home, they returned to Wentworth and commissioned a third home in 1931, one block south of their first home. 5 bedrooms, 7 baths, Pool, Guest house.
