Why Glendale Homes Get Retrofitted
Glendale grew up in the 1910s and 1920s, and its older neighborhoods are full of Craftsman and Spanish-style homes from those decades, most on raised foundations that were never bolted. The hillside streets add stepped foundations and taller cripple walls, which need more bracing than a flat lot.
The Verdugo Fault runs under Glendale along the foot of the Verdugo Mountains, and the Sierra Madre Fault Zone crosses the city's north end near La Crescenta.
