Kenneth A. (d. 1966) Gordon and Robert F. Gordon (d. 1981) Kenneth Gordon worked for J. H. Woodworth & Sons in Pasadena in the early 1920s before striking out on his own. Mr. Gordon built the family home on Foothill Boulevard (later Altadena Drive) on the edge of Eaton Canyon in Altadena in the 1920’s. After selling this house, he built a Spanish colonial styled house for his family right next door at 2564 North Altadena Drive. After Kenneth’s
son Robert graduated from USC’s architecture program, he joined
the firm in 1954. Together, the father and son, built a number of
banks (Republic Federal Savings) and residences, as well as hospitals
(La Viña and Barlow) from their Altadena and Fallbrook offices.
Robert’s son, Greg Gordon, recalled recently, “My assumption
that even though both of their names were on a project in the 50’s-60’s,
Daddy was the primary architect and the one who introduced a modernism
to their projects.” Both were very involved in the Pasadena
and Foothill AIA chapter, of which both were presidents of, Kenneth
in 1963 and son Robert in 1970. Bonham, Victor
