Pasadena, California
1902
All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena commissioned a new
rectory from Greene & Greene in 1902. The two-story, nine-room
house next to the church (designed by Ernest Coxhead in 1889)
was a simplified version of English Arts and Crafts, designed
to harmonize with the English architect's church. A broad
brick terrace on the south side of the house faced the church
and gave access to the wide principal entrance door of glass
crossed with broad mullions. The rectory featured such Arts
and Crafts details as a quaint wood-framed porch lantern mounted
on a post at the corner of the terrace and showing the house
number in leaded glass and a newel post lantern in the entry
hall.
In the previous year, Henry Greene had donated his plans for
alterations to Coxhead's chancel. During 1902 Greene &
Greene prepared plans for interior alterations to accommodate
the installation of Tiffany windows. The alterations to the
chancel were carried out, a ventilation system was installed,
the Craven Memorial window was moved and alterations were
made to the roof. Both the rectory and the church were demolished
to make way for a new church, completed in 1926, and parish
hall, completed in 1931.
