Home of the Week: Roland Coate-designed estate in Arcadia is a showcase of style

Though his body of work covers a range of Romantic Revival styles, architect Roland Coate is perhaps best known for designing Monterey Colonials such as this grand estate in Arcadia.

Presenting a classic brick exterior, the 1940s residence was built for Barker Bros. furniture executive C. Lawrence Barker, who planned to use the house to showcase items from the family business. More recently, the home, which has been tastefully updated and maintained, has twice been honored as a Pasadena Showcase House of Design.
