History
Scripps Hall was built by William Armiger Scripps. The house is a three story Craftsman bungalow designed by architect Charles W. Buchanan. He lived in a small bungalow on his property near the intersection of Mariposa Street and Fair Oaks Avenue in 1904 while his three-story mansion was built. He planted citrus and olive groves on his 'Scripps Estate' located in the community then known as North Pasadena.
After William died Scripps Hall was subsequently passed to his grandson. The western portion of the property was subdivided. In 1979, threatened with demolition, the Altadena Heritage Association coordinated the historic home's sale to the Pasadena Waldorf School, one of many Waldorf Schools around the world. Scripps Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 for its significance as a 'settlement site' (#99000893).
