The House at 1015 Prospect Boulevard is a historic house located at 1015 Prospect Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Built in 1913, the house was likely the first built in Pasadena's Arroyo Park Tract. Architect Sylvanus Marston designed the English-inspired Arts and Crafts house. The two-story house has a stucco exterior with several sets of wood-frame, double-hung windows. A gabled portico with Tudor half-timbered ornamentation covers the front entrance. The multi-component roof has a gable-on-hip main section with a cross gable-on-hip section over the east side; two stucco chimney stacks rise from the roof. [2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2004. [1] It is also part of the Prospect Historic District, which had previously been listed on the National Register. [2]

They are two of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 101 are houses. The residence is similar to most of the other houses in that it is a two-story structure that follows a rectangular plan, has dressed stone sills and lintels, and is capped with a gable roof. It differs from most of the others in that it is four bays wide rather than three or five, and it was stuccoed. It may have been influenced by the Luxembourgian houses in Tete Des Morts Township to the north. They have an even number of bays and are stuccoed. The small, single-story, spring house to the southeast appears to be from the same time period as the residence. It is square and capped with a hip roof. Built in 1845, the Niemann house is believed to be the oldest stone house in the county. The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
