History of the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group

It all began back in 1980. Bruce and Lyn Carter, living in a 1917 Craftsman bungalow, were out walking one evening and happened to meet Charles and Janet Manning who were living in an 1888 Victorian. That chance meeting revealed that the two couples were struggling with the same problems in attempting to restore their vintage homes. They wondered if there were other homeowners with similar interests facing those same obstacles. To find out, a meeting date and location were soon agreed upon. Fliers were put out on porches, and on February 10, 1980, approximately 40 people met to discuss whether or not to form a “preservation/restoration” group. The Monrovia Old House Preservation Group (formed as an “independent committee of the Monrovia Historical Society”) was the result. Bruce Carter and Charles Manning shared duties as the first “co-chairmen” of MOHPG.
