[td]The Dzaich and Kordich families, who were related by marriage, bought the house in 1921. They split it into two separate residences and made the parlor on the first floor into a bedroom. The families lived in the house until 1980 when Belmont Plaza Development Co. bought it with plans to demolish the building. The Glendale Historical Society was formed to save it. It was in an agreement with the city in which the city would be responsible for the exterior and landscaping, while the society would be in charge of restoration, the interior, and the museum. The organization moved it to Brand Park in September 1980 and, with the lead of Gregg/Gangi Development Co., restored the home using authentic methods. The relocation and restoration cost $200,000 in total.<ref name="arg"/> When restoration was completed in 1984, the house was reopened by the society as a museum.<ref name="tghs"/>[/td]
