The historic McAllister-McKenna House has been sold for $1 million, making it the first single-family home in the Old Claremont Village district to be sold for more than six figures.
The Monterey Revival-style house, designed by Marston & Maybury in 1928, was built by Clarence Stover for the A.G. McKenna family.
The McKennas were significant donors to the Claremont Colleges, and A.G. McKenna, who made his money in steel in Pennsylvania, was the force behind the locally known Wednesday Evening Club, a discussion group for men which convened weekly for years in the house. (Claremont Men's College became coeducational in 1976, and the "Men's" was changed to "McKenna" to reflect the longtime support of Donald McKenna, A.G.'s son.)
The stucco home with wood trim has a second-story balcony spanning the length of the house. The 4,100-square-foot house has four bedrooms, a library-den, a basement, an elevator, a butler's pantry and zoned heating with four gravity-flow furnaces.
The house was sold by Helen F. "Jill" McAllister, a Claremont real estate broker who recently remarried and moved to Beverly Hills. The buyers were Michael "Chris" Wahl and his wife, Patti. Their son, Mike, plays with the Green Bay Packers.
