116-year-old home L.A.'s latest historic landmark

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:44:07 GMT

A 116-year-old craftsman-style home in Altadena has been designated Los Angeles County’s latest historic landmark, officials announced earlier this week.  The two-story single-family residence, located at 931 New York Drive, was constructed in 1907 for local journalist Alvick Pearson, according to the L.A. County Department of Regional Planning. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson commissioned the firm Bragdon & Sullivan to build the home.  The primary residence, which is 2,627 square feet, sits on a 14,000-square-foot lot. There is also a 227-square-foot detached garage. Craftsman-style architecture was born out of the arts and crafts movement that originated in England in the late 19th century. The movement, according to the landmark designation, was a “counter to the mass production and materialism of the Industrial Revolution.” Ideals of the movement focused on using natural materials, simple forms, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Pearson Home, in Altadena, was...

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Lindsey Horan, angry over being knocked down minutes earlier by Danielle Van de Donk, scored a revenge goal minutes later in the second half Thursday to help the United States squeeze out a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands at the Women’s World Cup.The Dutch struck first with a goal from Jill Roord in the first half to surprise the Americans, who remained unbeaten in 19 consecutive matches with Horan’s second-half score.Horan’s goal on a header off a corner kick from Rose Lavelle in the 62nd minute followed several minutes of jawing between the two teams: Horan was angry after she was knocked off her feet and even cursed in the direction of Van de Donk — her teammate for club team Lyon.“Honestly, me and Dan always go up against each other and it’s a physical battle. I respect her so much because that’s how it should be, it should be competitive at all times,” Horan said. “Once we got through that tackle, all I wanted to do was score.”The Americans tried to calm...
