- Monterey Colonial — California revival style merging Spanish Colonial with New England Colonial elements, characterized by the signature full-width second-floor balcony. Particularly common in San Gabriel and Arcadia.
- Spanish Colonial Revival — Style popularized in California after the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Spanish Colonial Revival dominated the SGV's interwar prestige residential market — especially in San Marino, San Gabriel, and Pasadena's Madison Heights and Oak Knoll districts.
