The doctors house, a Glendale landmark, is named for the three prominent physicians Dr. G.V. Bogue, Dr. D.W. Hunt, and Dr. A.L. Bryant, and for DR. L.H. Hurtt chemist who made it their home. One of the few remaining residences of Queen Anne Eastlake style of architecture in Glendale, it was originally located on the northwest corner of Wilson and Belmont. When a permit was issued for its demolition in 1979, a successful rescue effort was initiated by Councilman John F. Day. The Glendale Historical Society then organized to assume responsibility, moved the house to this site in 1980, and began the process of painstaking restoration with the generous assistance of numerous other Glendale organizations, businesses and concerned individuals. The resulting museum, a unique asset to our community, provides a looking glass into a way of life now lost in time, but not in fond memory.
