I can recall when growing up in Glendale that all we had were historic beautiful homes. Then new construction began, and the beautiful hills became dotted with new tracts of homes. Different styles, different tastes… progress I suppose. Contact Phyllis for more information regarding Glendale and its historic neighborhoods.
I never realized until I started reading your blog just how many historical homes were in Glendale. I knew Pasadena did just never thought of Glendale that way. What a lovely community it appears to be. Thank you for bringing it to light.
