The W. L. Mead House is a historic house located at 380 West Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Architect Louis B. Easton designed the American Craftsman house, which was built for W. L. Mead in 1910.[2] The house is a two-story wood-frame structure with a brick foundation. The front-facing gable roof has wide eaves inspired by the Swiss chalet style. Both the roof and the second floor of the house are sided with wood shingles, a distinctive Craftsman feature; the first floor has a stucco exterior. The house also features a terrace covered by a wooden shed roof and supported by brick piers.[3]

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