Pasadena bungalows and Craftsman houses often keep the laundry on a back porch or in a converted service room, and a dryer there may vent through an old wall opening made for something else, so the exhaust is traced, cleaned and given a proper outside flap. ## What Pasadena does to a home appliance. Pasadena's predecessor settlement, the Indiana Colony, was organized in 1874, and the city itself incorporated on June 19, 1886. The Bungalow Heaven neighborhood holds 800 Craftsman-style homes built between 1900 and 1930, many still standing, and became a landmark district in 1989 with an annual home tour. Local architects Greene and Greene designed the Gamble House and the Robert R. Blacker House, both now California Historical Landmarks and both more than a century old. Many buildings from the city's 1886-1940 resort era, including the Victorian-era Raymond Hotel, were demolished during the Great Depression, so surviving prewar homes are concentrated in the districts that escaped that wave of redevelopment.
