It's a shame to see such a lovely old building get destroyed. Isn't there
any better alternative for a 120 year old building than to be demolished?
Here's the house in happier times (

It sure is a gem.
The Glendale Station is often (and incorrectly) claimed to be the station from the classic noir film,
Double Indemnity. The scene was actually filmed at a station in Burbank (with a phony “Glendale” sign tacked on), which you can

The Glendale Station, was, however featured in many other films, such as Buster Keaton’s
College (1927), and Van Helfin’s
Act of Violence (1948), both seen below:
