Glendale 11 Debuts New Show Highlighting City's Historic Buildings

If you're a history buff, grab the popcorn and the remote and settle in for an entertaining night of television on Sunday, May 11, at 7 p.m., as Glendale 11 debuts “Glendale’s Historic Hidden Treasures,” a brand new 30-minute program that weaves a fascinating tapestry of Glendale’s historic buildings and arts and culture.

About the Show

Viewers will step back in time and explore several properties located within just a few miles of Glendale's historic downtown. Many of the storytellers interviewed for the television show are lifelong Glendale residents who have decades of connections to the buildings and properties.

“This new program is a great source of pride as we showcase Glendale’s past and the importance of our preservation efforts,” says Glendale’s Tourism Manager Lorraine Pino. “Glendale residents may not be aware of all of the cultural amenities that exist in their own back yard, so this program hopefully will generate more interest in the city’s history for both residents and visitors alike.”

The historic properties featured include:

• First National Bank (now known as the Coffinger Law office)
• First United Methodist Church
• The Glendale Woman's Club
• Virginia's House
• Glendale Grammar School
• Beet Sugar Factory
• Humphrey and Davidson buildings
• Glendale High School Auditorium
• Flora Croft neighborhood
• Morcomb entryway.
