Historical Background
The
City
of
Glendale
,
situated
at the
eastern
end
of the
San
Fernando
Valley
and
bisected
by the
Verdugo
Mountains
,
is
considered
a
suburb
of the
Greater
Los
Angeles
Area
.
Incorporated
in
1906
,
Glendale
was
originally
part
of
Rancho
San
Rafael
,
founded
by
Don
Jose
Maria
Verdugo
who
settled
in the
area
in
1784
. The
Grand
Central
Airport
Terminal
was
designed
by
Henry
L
.
Gogerty
in
1928
blending
the
Spanish
Colonial
Revival
style
with
Art
Deco
influences
. The
Airport
first
began
its
service
between
Los
Angeles
and
New
York
, and
it
played
a
vital
role
as the
premier
airport
in
Southern
California
. The
building
represents
the
simple
concept
of
early
airport
terminal
design
, and
it
is
listed
on the
Glendale
Register
of
Historic
Resources
. The
airplane
shown
in this
image
was a
Ford
4-AT
Tri-motor
owned
by the
Maddux
Air
Lines
,
which
carried
12
passengers
from
San
Diego
to
Los
Angeles
during
its
inaugural
flight
in
California
.
