First Public Offering: The Hanley-Pittman Estate, 1931. Home to one of the last producing citrus orchards in Glendora, the large, Spanish Colonial Revival house and remaining orange grove is available for the first time on the open market. Largely hidden behind Glendora's National Register of Historic Places landmarked Bougainvilleas, the Hanley-Pittman Estate and citrus orchard are tangible reminders of California's fantasy past. The economic boosterism which promoted prosperity, health benefits, independence, and an abundance of land, became the hallmarks of selling California to an audience desperate for change- all of which are present here. Properties such as this served as a calling cards to stalwart midwestern and northeasterners seeking respite in the region's tepid climate becoming a fait accompli to buyers seeking a romanticized new beginning. Original, colorful bathroom and kitchen tiles, painted walls and stained wood add to the overall fabric of the historic house and grounds. Under the care of the same family since 1943, the historic Hanley-Pittman estate is ready for the next, qualified stewards.
