A historic Craftsman-style house in Alhambra built in 1910 is now on the market for $748,000. The property holds significance as the site where renowned artist Norman Rockwell married his second wife, Mary Barstow, in a garden wedding. Originally the home of Barstow's parents, the couple later relocated to the East Coast but returned for visits. A 1941 Los Angeles Times article documented Rockwell wintering in Alhambra to rest and paint. The two-story residence spans 2,746 square feet and includes six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a front porch, den, office, library/study, glass-enclosed porch, and detached two-car garage. Rockwell, who died in 1978 at age 84, created iconic Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations for 47 years.
