Glendale Historical Society Launches New Century Homes Program
The Glendale Historical Society (GHS) relaunched its Century Home Program with the awarding of its first redesigned commemorative plaque at its general meeting on September 15. Anne Louise Graman, owner of a Craftsman’s Bungalow on Brownell Avenue, received a plaque for her 1924 home which was also featured on the Glendale Garden & Home Tour in June. Of the approximately 2,300 homes in Glendale, around 10 percent were built over 100 years ago and are potentially eligible to receive this recognition. Thirty-five homes were recognized in the previous Century Home program, which ran from 2007 to 2013.
Glendale residents interested in applying for Century Home designation for their home should visit the GHS website at www.glendalemohistoricalsociety.com.
