This home has been described as,
The Larimer Estate 1931 - Architect - Robert H Ainsworth. A world of history is on display in this historic pre-war California Colonial residence along Christmas Tree Lane - one of central Altadena's favorite streets. Sensitive restorations highlight the architectural details of an era long past. The nearly one acre corner lot incorporates several out buildings, a sparkling new saltwater pool, patios, and wooded areas. Meandering trails wind through colorful zonal plantings, fruit bearing trees, and plots of edible plants and vegetables. All the hallmarks of pre-war architecture are presented on a generous scale with warm woods, period tile, crown moldings, coved ceilings, wainscoting, and extensive built-ins. Ainsworth was a draftsman and architect for Marston/Van Pelt and later Wallace Neff. Some of Ainsworth's public commissions include Pasadena City College and The Pasadena Unified School District Building.
