Why it is here
The building stock in Glendale
Glendale is a pre-war city with a heavy mid-century apartment overlay. The 1920s and 1930s Spanish and Mediterranean stock around Adams Hill and Rossmoyne is plaster-over-lath with original heating and wrapped ducting. Then there is the apartment boom: a very large share of Glendale's multifamily went up between 1955 and 1975, which is peak territory for acoustic ceiling texture, 9x9 tile and vinyl sheet flooring. Lead paint is routine on anything pre-1978.
Glendale’s mid-century apartment stock turns over constantly, and the same three materials come up on nearly every unit. Where an owner has a whole building, scoping several units at once is materially cheaper than unit-by-unit mobilisation.
