The district consists of twelve Craftsman-style bungalows situated on the two blocks between Bellevue Drive and California Boulevard.

Several prominent local architects designed the homes, including Louis B. Easton, planner of the homes at 530 and 540 South Marengo; Easton's work was featured in Gustav Stickley's magazine The Craftsman.

Marengo Avenue was considered an upscale district of Pasadena at the time, partly due to its well-designed homes and partly due to the pepper trees planted along the street.

[2] The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 1982.
