Learn MoreWhat we look after in Arcadia
Lucky Baldwin's old rancho became big-lot tracts from the 1930s through the 1950s, so Arcadia brick can be old, solid and rarely examined above the roofline. Newer rebuilds may hide a metal flue instead. We tell you which you have before anything else. Close to the mountains, winter storms soak crowns and flashing harder, and Santa Anas pull at caps. Fire sent people from their homes above Elkins Avenue in 2020, and a sharp quake struck nearby in 1991, so embers and cracks both deserve a look.
The Houses
Around Arcadia the stock runs to big-lot tracts in Santa Anita Oaks and both Ranchos, postwar houses, and newer factory-fireplace homes.
Before the First Fire
North of Elkins Avenue especially, a sound ember screen comes before kindling, and a camera should follow any brick stack that rode out 1991.
Care of the Room
Large living rooms still get the full treatment here: runners from the door to the hearth, covered furniture nearby, and a vacuum working beside the brushes.
Close By
Arcadia stops sometimes fall alongside Pasadena, Temple City, San Gabriel.
