How this L.A. suburb fell in love with Craftsman homes

- For over a century, Craftsman homes have been beloved across Southern California, but they are most prevalent in Pasadena.
- Pasadena Heritage’s Craftsman Week runs Oct. 12-19 with events and tours.
- The style’s authentic craftsmanship is key to its popularity.
When Annette Yasin and her husband, Tom, moved to Pasadena from Michigan more than a decade ago, they purchased a condo near Bungalow Heaven, a 16-block area northeast of Old Town known for its substantial collection of Craftsman bungalows. After regular walks in the neighborhood, the couple came across a home on Mar Vista Avenue and quickly fell in love.
The residence, known as the Dr. Robert H. Sutton Bungalow, is a great example of what makes Craftsman architecture so seductive to so many. Outside, its low-sloped roof, wide eaves, textured wood and brick surfaces, and its shaded porch set behind broad overhangs are welcoming and human scaled. Inside, chocolate brown wood is everywhere: walls, beams, window sills, paneling, wainscoting, furniture, not to mention built-in cabinets, benches and window seats. A large bank of windows lets in lots of light, but is protected by all those overhangs, so you don’t feel exposed — or overheated. Everything fits and flows together — spaces, furnishings, lighting fixtures, artworks.
“It’s cozy. It’s warm,” says Yasin, standing in her dining room, which is filled with Craftsman-style furniture either purchased or built by her now-late husband — a G.E. engineer who retired early and leaned into his passion for woodworking.
For over a century, Craftsman homes have been beloved across Southern California, from Orange and Long Beach to West Adams and Santa Barbara. But nowhere are they as prevalent as Pasadena. And in recent years, popularity has soared, as people crave its well-made, no-nonsense, and nature-embracing ethos. So much so, Pasadena Heritage’s Craftsman Week, taking place Oct. 12-19, has expanded from a weekend to a weeklong event this year.
“It’s the rusticity of it,” adds Juan Dela Cruz, a Bungalow Heaven resident and Craftsman homeowner who is guiding me on a tour of the neighborhood along with John G. Ripley, another local Craftsman owner and co-author of the book “Pasadena’s Bungalow Heaven,” ahead of Craftsman Week. “You notice the timbers overhanging. Sometimes you’ll see the roughness in the wood, or you’ll see a three-dimensional relief in the grain. It gives you that connection with nature; that connection with the source from which it came — the tree,” says Dela Cruz.

(Juliana Yamada / Los Angeles Times)Craftsman had its heyday from around 1900 to the early 1920s. It grew out of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, a design philosophy reacting to the Industrial Revolution, with its mass produced goods and fast-paced lifestyle, and the Victorian era, with its frivolous excesses and formal, boxy spaces. It promoted, among other things, handcraft, honesty, unified design, natural materials and design simplicity.

First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator – Los Angeles Times

First they came for the immigrants. Then they took down our Latino senator
By Anita Chabria Columnist
June 12, 2025 Updated 2:46 PM PTFederal agents manhandled California Sen. Alex Padilla out of the room, shoved him down onto his knees and handcuffed him. Sen. Adam Schiff, our other California senator, came to his colleague’s defense, demanding an investigation.
Things were looking tense in Los Angeles on Thursday even before federal agents took down U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla.
We had the Marines, slightly trained in domestic crowd control, heading out to do crowd control. We had ICE raids, sweeping up a man from a church. Or maybe it was ICE — the armed and masked agents refused to say where they were from.
But then the situation went further south, which to be honest, I thought would take at least until Monday.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was in town to cosplay at being an ICE agent herself. You know she loves to dress up. Padilla, who was in the same building to meet with a general, went to a news conference she was hosting and tried to ask her a question.
Bad idea.
Federal agents manhandled him out of the room, shoved him down onto his knees and handcuffed him. By the end, he was face down on the ground. The FBI has confirmed to my colleagues that he was not arrested, but that’s little comfort.

Sen. Alex Padilla forcibly removed from press conferenceWhile officers may not have known Padilla was a U.S. senator when they started going after him, they certainly did by the time the cuffs were snapping.
Padilla was heard saying, “Hands off, hands off. I’m Sen. Alex Padilla,” as the officers pushed him back.
The hands remained on.
Shortly after the video of this frightening episode hit social media, Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on X, “If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.”
Indeed.
After he got back on his feet, Padilla made it clear all he was trying to do was get some information because his questions have gone unanswered so far.
Advertisement“I was there peacefully,” he told reporters. “At one point I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room. … If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they’re doing to farm workers to cooks to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country.”

Want to feel 50 at 80? ‘Super Agers’ researcher shares his do’s and don’ts
By Paul von Zielbauer
June 6, 2025 3 AMCardiologist Eric Topol is one of the leading medical researchers in the world. A founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, Calif., Dr. Topol is also the author of a New York Times bestselling new book, “Super Agers: An Evidence Based Approach to Longevity.”
I recently sat down with Topol to discuss his book’s insights into slowing down, or turning back, our aging clocks to become more like super agers — or who he calls the “Wellderly” — people who live well into their 80s and 90s without any chronic illness or disease.
A comprehensive answer to that question requires reading his book, written for a lay audience curious about the latest (and upcoming) scientific breakthroughs in longevity medicine. But in our hour-long conversation, Topol discussed several do’s and don’ts for anyone seeking to make 80 the new 50.
1. Do: Strengthen your immune system
If there is one main thesis to Topol’s book, it’s that healthy aging is a function of a strong immune system, which can defend against diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other chronic conditions. “I keep saying to myself that old thing about the economy: ‘It’s the immune system, stupid,’ you know?” Topol told me. “Because it really is.”
He suggests focusing on habits that support and build immune health:
Regular strength and resistance training builds strong immune systems and is the single best way to extend lifespan and, importantly, health span.
Keep a Mediterranean-style diet that maximizes whole foods, colorful vegetables, lean meats, olive oil and minimal dairy, and minimizes ultra-processed food.
Get deep, restorative sleep — crucial for supporting your body’s immune function.
Maintain so-called “lifestyle+” factors, like spending time in nature, avoiding environmental pollution like food-borne plastics and airborne toxins, and maintaining strong friendships and a regular social calendar.I’ll go deeper into some of these specific strategies, like sleep and nutrition, below. But the common denominator is supporting a robust immune function, Topol said.
“We should be having immune system testing as we get older,” he said, “because it is the reason why aging can hurt us.”
