Details

The Glendale Historical Society is delighted to present its “Classic Colonials” Home Tour on Sunday, May 3, from 10 am to 4 pm.

In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary and California’s 175th Anniversary, this year’s tour features five distinguished residences showcasing Colonial Revival and Monterey Colonial Revival architecture, the latter a style uniquely rooted in California’s architectural heritage.

The five homes featured on this year’s “Classic Colonials” Home Tour are:

Daves-Cannon House (1936)
Designed by local architect Merrill Baird, this Colonial Revival features a basket-weave brick walkway, multi-pane windows, gabled dormers, and bay windows. The home is listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources and located in the Royal Boulevard Historic District.
Freeman House (1937)
Built by the Halper Robbins Construction Company, this Monterey Colonial Revival home with Hollywood Regency influences is an L-shape with a second-floor balcony supported by slender columns. The backyard and pool house are compatibly designed. This home is listed on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.
Lawson House (1935)
Attributed to architect Allen Kelly Ruoff, this Colonial Revival residence features a symmetrical façade, recessed entry with portico, sidelights, and oval windows. Leaded diamond-pane glass, a painted wood stringcourse, and quarry-faced stone contribute to its refined and balanced appearance. Guests will be treated to rooms with original 1935 fixtures that function in the 21st century.
Morrill House (1932)
Built by Clyde Morrill, this Monterey Colonial Revival home features a low-pitched roof, second-floor balcony with French doors, and a combination of stucco, brick, and wood siding. The home is in the North Cumberland Heights Historic District.
Weed-Patrick House (1932)
Constructed by builder Raymond Green, this Monterey Colonial Revival home features a cantilevered balcony and French doors with shutters. The home was first occupied by George Patrick, who later became the original art director for Disneyland’s Frontierland.
