Walton House 1929, Garrett Van Pelt, FAIA, 1964 Located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Pasadena, known for its significant architectural and historic homes, surrounded by notable works by Gordon Kaufmann, Wallace Neff and Roland Coate, this Italian Renaissance Revival is one of Garrett Van Pelts most well-known contributions to the original 1919 Arden Grove Subdivision.
