We love our little bungalow. Built in 1926, we revel in the hand-wrought iron work, the hand-crafted joinery, the built-in fireplace flanked by inglenooks, the hipped covered porch, and the “elaborated” rafter ends. But after all these years of loving, a piece of us is also sapped, longing to tap out. Uncle, uncle. How is it possible that living in temperate Southern California we need to adorn a turtleneck and sweater during the winter months just to stay warm inside our own home? Warming up means taking a walk in the neighborhood, wretchedly seeking the weak rays of the winter sun. How’s the summer, you wonder? Our dear beloved bungalow does manage to keep things cool in the morning hours—only to become a sauna once the big hand passes noon. And we’re not talking the traditional sauna with health benefits (i.e., the Fins), but rather pore clogging, dust and dirt-attracting sauna-type sweat accompanied by heat that melts the mind. If these experiences seem uncomfortably familiar, Pasadena Heritage‘s “Energy Efficiency in Historic Homes” seminar may be for you.
