Bungalow courts must by definition share a number of space and building relationships, such as building configuration, use of a service zone, and focal point created by the central courtyard. These elements provided a format for bungalow court design without becoming restrictive; creativity in execution and adaptation to circumstances has produced an architectural form filled with individuality.
First, the buildings of this high-density housing type were most often arranged in a "U"-shape, open end at the street, a result of the rectangular shape of land parcels.
Generally, courts were constructed between 1910 and 1930, although a few were built later.
Over 20 bungalow courts are nominated in this Pasadena neighborhood - Boundaries: east: Lake Avenue; north and west: Orange Grove Boulevard; south: California Boulevard.
