352 HISTORY OF PASADENA. 



The Bacon Spring. — As late as 1884 there was a spring with a large 

 barrel set down into it for a curb, under a sycamore tree at the head of the 

 Raymond brook, a few rods southeast from Raymond station. But its water 

 supply was tapped first by the building of the city sewer down across its 

 head source ; then by the digging and walling up of a large spring or well 

 at the foot of the north driveway up Raj-mond hill, where a steam pump 

 stood for a year or two ; then by the grading or deep cut of the Los An- 

 geles, Ramona and Pasadena R. R., now the Southern Pacific, a little way 

 east and south from the old spring place. This spring was also called the 

 " sycamore spring," and the " Marengo spring." 



There are also some developed springs in Los Robles canyon which 

 rises at the foot of Los Robles avenue. Also water trenches and tunnels in 

 the springs at head of Oak Knoll canyon — foot of Moline avenue. 



WHO NAMED THE STREETS, AND WHY. 



Names that are given to streets from some well-known historic person- 

 age, or some state, or some favorite tree, etc., are obvious enough as to their 

 intent and meaning ; and I have not included such in this record. But 

 those which were named for some special personal or private reason, or had 

 some special historic association in their naming, are here recorded in alpha- 

 betical order, with such explanations as I have been able to gather in each 

 case. There are undoubtedly others that should be included in this list, 

 but in regard to which I did not get hold of the necessary data. The 

 reader who wishes to find the particular location of any of these streets is 

 referred to the city directory or city map ; to give local details of that sort 

 is the business of a directory, and not of a history volume. 



Adella Avenue. — Opened first by A. Ninde, in 1886, through his land, 

 and named after his daughter, Mrs. A. V. Dunsmore. 



Adena Street. — Opened by Dr. R. K. Janes (dentist), and named after 

 his wife. 



Allen Ave7iue. — Opened when the Grogan tract was subdivided ; and it 

 was named in honor of Wm. Allen, who owned a ranch of 474 acres called 

 "The Sphinx," up near the mountains, and this avenue formed the west 

 line of his land. Mr. Allen had come from England and settled here in 

 1869. 



Arbor Street. — Opened by I. M. Hill, and named from the cypress 

 arbor leading from the front of his house to Orange Grove Avenue. This 

 house was the third one built in the original colony settlement — built by 

 Col. J. Banbury, who also planted and trained the arbor in front, and it was 

 a notable thing in the early colony days, as a cool and shady place for the 

 family meals in warm weather, and the scene of many delightful social 

 gatherings. [The arbor was cut away in 1895.] 



Arcadia ^/r^^/.— Opened in October, 1886, by Revs. A. W. Bunker and
