 By Mildred "Skeeter" Kobzeff O ne of the cherished houses in Glendora is known by three names: Fenton House - because it was built for the widow Fenton; the Sellers house, because Margaret Fenton married a Sellers; and Hamilton House due to Jane Hamilton Torf running her antique store from the premises.George Whitcomb and the townspeople originally built it in the late 1880s when the Fenton's home was destroyed by fire. The house was then located in the vicinity of Bennett and Wabash avenues. Later on it was moved to 1030 E. Alosta Avenue (Route 66) and for almost four decades it was the home of Jane Hamilton Torf and Hamilton House Antiques. When the property was sold and subdivided it was Jane's fondest dream to see her home saved from the bulldozer. |
