The Arroyo Seco Parkway, also known as the Pasadena Freeway, is one of the oldest freeways built in the United States. The parkway connects Los Angeles with Pasadena alongside the Arroyo Seco seasonal river.

It conformed to modern standards when it was built, but is now regarded as a narrow, outdated roadway. A 1953 extension brought the south end to the Four Level Interchange in downtown Los Angeles and a connection with the rest of the freeway system.

The Dr. W. T. Bolton House is a historic house located at 370 W. Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Built in 1906, the Craftsman-style house was designed by prominent Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene. The house's design emphasizes function over form, a key concept in Craftsman designs; its joints and beams are exposed, and the wooden front door was oiled by hand to highlight its natural grain and color. The house's light fixtures, stained glass windows, and even furnishings were also designed by Greene and Greene to give the house a unified design. Dr. W. T. and Alice Bolton commissioned the house, which was their second residence designed by the Greene brothers; while W. T. Bolton died before he could live in the house, Alice Bolton lived there until 1917. The house was one of several Craftsman homes built in Pasadena's "Millionaire's Row" district, which included a number of large homes in the vicinity of Orange Grove Boulevard.
