Regarding Bonetto House. Thomas and Florence Bonetto were valley pioneers, and with Bart Bonetto operated the iconic La Crescenta Feed and Fuel store for the best part of the 20th century. Their home was lovingly restored by owner Barbara Hannigan, and was declared a Glendale Historic Landmark. It’s the first private home in the Valley to receive that distinction.
