Our Burbank Museum complex is located between Clark and West Olive Avenues in George Izay Park and includes two separate structures. From its park-side entrance, the complex’s primary building anchors on one side, the various public facilities enclosed within the park grounds. The bulk of the society’s collection is housed in this 20,000 square foot facility, named in honor of our valued benefactor, Gordon R. Howard. Built in 1887, the restored, framed Victorian Mentzer House, was built by the Providencia Land, Water and Development Company. The home was originally built near Palm Avenue and 6th Street, was moved to 321 E. Orange Grove around 1920, before it was moved to its current resting place on Olive Avenue in 1977.
