John L. Pugsley.
Licensed between 1952 and 1955, by the Board's 1961 roster. 8 houses on record, 7 standing.
The State Board of Architectural Examiners' 1961 roster prints him as Pugsley, John L., certificate C 1753, among the architects licensed from 1952 to 1955 (p. 78). The documents behind this record name him as the architect of 8 houses in Pasadena, built from 1959 to 1963; for 7 of them, the Los Angeles County Assessor's record at the same address confirms the house standing.
Every house on record.
