Constructed in 1913, the Henry A Ware house at 460 Bellefontaine Street was designed by Henry Mather Greene. The single-family residence represents the property type "Arts and Crafts Single-Family Residences in Pasadena," and is an excellent example of Craftsman style within the subtype 4wo-story Arts and Crafts period house." It meets the registration requirements under Criterion C, as it exemplifies the values of design, craftsmanship, and materials which embody the philosophy and practice of the Arts and Crafts period in Pasadena and the property retains a high degree of architectural integrity. The house and garage have distinguishing characteristics of Anglo-Colonial Revival and English influenced Tudor. Major English-influenced features are a gable roof with moderate to steep pitched gables and modest eave extension and with the main roof orientation parallel to the front entrance, leaded glass windows, gable roof dormers and combination plaster/shingle exterior walls. Anglo-Colonial features are its main entry with classical detailing on the door and door surround. - NRHP, 8 August 2003
