About the Glenn House
About Glenn House
The Glenn House was built by Edwin Dean for his daughter, Lulu and her
husband David A. Glenn. The house was built in 1883 in a vernacular farmhouse
style. During the 1890s, electricity and plumbing were installed, and in 1900 an
extensive renovation was undertaken to convert the style of the house to the then
popular Queen Ann Style.
The house has been faithfully restored and has many original architectural
features, such as lights, plumbing fixtures, moldings and wall treatments.
Authentic period furniture graces its late Victorian interior.
The Glenn House is on the National Register of Historic Places.
