Regarding Acton-Richardson House. Excerpt from the amended National Register Nomination for the district:
Accordingto a paper entitled, Houses that Moved, by longtime Glendale resident Angeline Faran, half a dozen property owners sold their Victorian-era wood-frame homes to new owners who moved them to vacant lots. The Richardson House was moved from 55 East Fountain to 785 Ivy in 1908 and replaced by a large Tudor Revival home with Craftsman elements.
