Suydam Home

The Suydam house was built in 1887. It was the first structure erected in Glendora after it became a townsite. The house has undergone many changes through the years. It was originally a story and a half but the Suydam's had the roof raised making it a two story house.

This is the second of three homes known to have been built by the Suydam family in Glendora. The first, at 645 N. Vista Bonita Ave., is believed to have been the first home built here (1887) after the town site was formally established. The third is at 130 S. Vista Bonita Ave. The son of the original settlers, Keith Suydam, built and lived in this home. He became mayor in 1936. His mother and his wife helped form the Athena Club which established Glendora’s first library (1904) and evolved into the Glendora Woman’s Club. The house was completely restored by a later owner.
