The House at 1011 S. Madison Ave. is a historic house located at 1011 South Madison Avenue in Pasadena, California. Architect Sylvanus B. Marston of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury designed the Prairie School style house, which was built in 1911. The two-story house has a square box plan inspired by a 1907 Frank Lloyd Wright design called "A Fireproof House for $50,000". The house has a horizontal emphasis characteristic of the Prairie School and a low hipped roof. A side porch is located on the north side of the house, which originally also had a front porch that has since been enclosed. Rows of casement windows on the front of each story feature a decorative pattern with three vertical panes and a transom.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.[1]
