Historical Data	Glendora was founded on April 1, 1887 by George D. Whitcomb and was officially incorporated as a City in 1911. In the mid-1930s, nearly all of the city's 4,500 acres of land were cultivated for citrus fruit; by the late 1950s agriculture had given way to large-scale residential development. As of 2006, population of the city known as the "Pride of the Foothills" was estimated at 51,608.
Description	Alfred Wrea and Charles E. Garstang constructed Glendora City Hall, located at 116 E. Foothill and the corner of Glendora Ave., in a mixed neoclassical/Italianate style. The cornerstone was laid in November 1920 and 16 months later, on March 31, 1922 the offices of the city had moved in. It contained a jail, library, administrative offices and the council chambers, which also served as the local municipal court. A volunteer fire department was located at the rear of the building, on the west side. The annex to the east was built in 1956 to house the Glendora Library, and the present Police Facility was opened in 1966. The 78 ft x 70 ft, 15-room building was built to be fireproof using firebricks and steel-reinforced cement girders at a cost of $69,500.
