Per its listing, this sweet 1910 Craftsman in Alhambra was the childhood home of Norman Rockwell's second wife, Mary Barstow. The iconic illustrator met Barstow, a local schoolteacher, during a trip he made to the San Gabriel Valley town to visit a friend in 1930, and married her at the family residence shortly thereafter. Now on the market for the first time in 60 years, the 2,746-square-foot house features six bedrooms, two baths, a sunroom, a library, hardwood floors, moldings, a decorative fireplace, French doors and windows, and built-ins galore. Sited on a .3-acre lot, the property is listed in a trust sale at $748,000.
