HISTORIC PROSPECT PARK IS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND IS ONE OF PASADENA'S MOST EXCLUSIVE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH MANY OF THE NATION'S FINEST ARCHITECTS AND MASTER BUILDERS REPRESENTED. IN A LYRICAL GESTURE TO THE PAST, NOTED ARCHITECT CHARLES RUHE BUILT A HOME IN 1925 OF SOLID CONCRETE TO EMULATE THE SOFT LOOK OF HAND-SHAPED ADOBE. THIS U-SHAPED HASCIENDA WITH COURTYARD EMBRACES NATURE WITH EACH ROOM OPENING TO GARDENS. AT NIGHT, WITHOUT THE DISTRACTION OF BLUE SKIES, THE GARDEN IS SO QUIET THAT THAT YOU CAN HEAR AN ORANGE DROP. COMPLETELY SECLUDED FROM ITS NEIGHBORS, THE NEARLY 17,000-SQUARE LOT AND ITS STUNNING TAPESTRY OF OLD TREES, EVOKES THE DESIRE FOR EVENINGS OF COOL DRINKS, COOLER BREEZES AND GREAT CONVERSATIONS. THE PROPERTY HAS THREE BEDROOM SUITES AND A DEN/GUEST ROOM. THE HOME RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL CHARACTER, ALTHOUGH THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS HAVE ALL BEEN RENOVATED IN THE PERIOD EUROPEAN STYLE.
