In the midst of one of the most dynamic and modern cities, you can still find places that speak to us of how folks lived when life was less complex and small touches of beauty were appreciated. 202 Thorne St. exemplifies that appreciation for craft and detail from a receding era; a place where the past can meet the present. Bay windows with diamond lites that originally faced the Pacific Electric South Pasadena Line, softened corners, dash coat stucco, storybook rafter tails and roof lines, these small touches silently speak of a slower time. It's located across the street from the famous Judson Studios on a street with significant historical properties.If you're looking for a restoration project that's not for the faint of heart, but that will pay dividends for work that is faithful to the house and the period, this may be your house.
