​For their remarkable generosity in supporting the upcoming exhibit, “Monrovia’s History Through Architecture,” we extend our deepest gratitude!

Tom and Tina Posen, longtime Monrovia residents and owners of Arcadia Sash & Door, have graciously donated and installed custom-made doors and windows for this exciting exhibit. Established in 1979 by Tom Posen, Arcadia Sash & Door, a family-owned-and-operated company, is renowned for its excellence in window and door installations. With a legacy of enhancing thousands of homes, and having expansive showrooms, which feature over 50 brands and a diverse selection of doors, windows, hardware, and moulding.

The success of this exhibit owes much to the incredible support from companies and individuals like Tom and Tina Posen. Their commitment and generosity have significantly contributed to the exhibit's impressive scope and quality. This support exemplifies the spirit of community collaboration—truly, it takes a village. We are immensely proud and grateful for the extraordinary community that makes Monrovia so special.

​On July 21st, the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group (MOHPG) held its annual meeting at the Public Library Community Room. This local organization, which supports The Monrovia Historical Museum (MHM), presented a generous $2,000 gift to the museum this year. Vicky Hansen, a museum board member and MOHPG member, was on hand to receive the kind donation. MOHPG is also a co-sponsor to our up-and-coming exhibit titled "Monrovia's History through Architecture". 

As one of the largest non-profit organizations in Monrovia, MOHPG has an active membership of nearly 200 households. Founded in 1980, the group serves as a vital resource for those involved in home restoration and works to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving Monrovia's architectural heritage.

In addition to its educational efforts, MOHPG hosts an annual home tour around Mother’s Day, offering the public a unique opportunity to explore several of the city’s most outstanding homes. Click here for more information about this great organization!
