So I saw something while looking at apartments around Glendora that indicated you could rent a room in the Singer mansion! I thought that sounded cool...until I also noticed it was being sold. But what really has me curious is that if I google it, I get two addresses. They are less than a mile apart but I still don't understand where the addresses come from. They are:

1150 Kregmont Dr, Glendora, CA 91741

and

820 N Verano Dr, Glendora, CA 91741


So which is it? Or are they both the Singer mansion? Anyone know?

Thanks for the info! I love the pics on curbed...it looks exactly like what I'd expect a classy mansion to look like complete with spiral staircases. And different parts of the mansion seem to alternate between cute, modern, French cafe style and something you would see in a museum where you admire mansions of old.

So what's the kregmont address? Very strange.

Actually, the one that was renting rooms out was NOT the Verano house. It was the Kregmont house. Definitely not as nice, and there's freakin' tarantulas running around outside! No thanks!
