The Glover House at 11 Glendale Drive, was built in 1899 as a Christmas gift from Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church, to her son George Washington Glover II. At the time of construction, the site was located outside of the city boundaries, but with the rapid growth of the community, the town soon surrounded the house.
The garage was originally a carriage house and the stable was behind the garage. Glover, president of the Glover Gold Mining Company, lived in the house for nineteen years, and his widow remained there until 1947. The Homestake Mining Company eventually purchased the house and used it as a residence for company officials. The home was sold to a private family in 1980.
