Details

The Glendale Historical Society is pleased to present its “Treasured Tudors” Home Tour on Sunday, May 4, from 10 am to 4 pm. This year’s tour showcases five charming English-inspired homes built between 1924 and 1936.

The five homes featured on this year’s “Treasured Tudors” Home Tour are:

Phebe Bush Anthony House, a 1924 Tudor Revival built by F. P. Newport & Co, a prominent developer in the area. Located in the pending Selvas de Verdugo Historic District, the home contains such character-defining features as various steeply-pitched, cross-gabled roof forms, decorative half-timbering at the gables, and Tudor-arched, recessed entry porch.
Mabel and William Hunter House, a striking 1927 Tudor Revival with such character-defining features as an asymmetrical façade, steeply pitched roof with sharply angled rafter tails, and decorative half-timbering. The home was designed by noted architect Arlos R. Sedgley, whose portfolio includes single-family and multi-family homes and other buildings in a variety of styles. His most celebrated work is Greystoke Cottage, which he designed for actress Maureen O’Sullivan and director John Farrow.
Nellie and Charles Weaver House, an enchanting 1927 Storybook cottage with Tudor Revival influences that looks like it might have been plucked out of a fairytale. The home, likely designed by renowned architect Ben Sherwood, is characterized by its whimsical design, use of rustic materials, and fanciful courtyard.
Owen Emery House, an impressive 1927 Tudor Revival with a stately brick exterior, intersecting roof forms, and prominent bay window supported on corbels at the main bay. Built by James G. Henry & Son, the home is located in the pending Bellehurst Historic District.
Sherman and Henrietta Ford House, a lovely 1936 Tudor Revival designed and constructed by local builder Jack Frith. While modest in size, this Glendale Register-listed home, with its decorative half-timbered exterior and leaded diamond-shaped windows, exhibits the distinctive characteristics of the style.
