On the other end of the Oaklawn Park tract development from
"Waiting for Arts and Crafts", stand the portals to the tract.
Designed in 1905 by Charles and Henry Greene of Gamble House fame,
they marked the entry to the tract begun by the South Pasadena
Realty and Development Company. The portals are constructed of
large stones, brick, and iron gates. Each one originally had a
broad-roofed lantern hanging over Oaklawn Avenue. The iron fence
around the tract is missing in many places, replaced by ugly cement
block walls, but at least the stone pillars remain. There are a few
beautiful old craftsman homes remaining on Oaklawn Avenue, too.
Container is micro, so bring your own pen.

I love this neighborhood! Greene and Greene homes are wonderful. An actor friend owned one on the Arroyo and it was a great place. The log a mess however. TFTC
