SUBJECT: 2004 RUTH BYRNE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
AWARD
Purpose
This is a request for the City Council to honor Juanita Buckley as the recipient of the 2004 Ruth
Byrne Historic Preservation Award.
Council Policies Or Goals Addressed
The City Council adopted the Historic Preservation Plan on November 25, 2003. The plan
recommends the Historic Preservation Commission develop ongoing support and awareness for
historic preservation. The Ruth Byrne Historic Preservation Award has been in existence since
1996 and honors individuals or groups that have provided outstanding contributions to historic
preservation in Glendale.
Background
Juanita Buckley, president of Friends of Marty Robbins and Director of the Glendale Marty
Robbins exhibit, is the 2004 recipient of the Ruth Byrne Historic Preservation Award. Ms.
Buckley purchased a historic home located at 5804 West Myrtle Avenue in the Catlin Court
Historic District. The house was built in 1919 and is known as the F.M. Staggs House.
Ms. Buckley worked to obtain necessary zoning in 2002/2003 in order to establish a museum to
honor Glendale's native son, Marty Robbins. Her rezoning request expanded the Planned Area
Development Zoning for Catlin Court. Upon zoning approval, she restored the house and
created an off-site community outreach loan program of Marty Robbins' memorabilia and
sponsors guest speakers.
The museum is a popular tourist destination and helps to create a "sense of place" for Glendale's
historic downtown and Catlin Court.

Neighborhood Association. Mr. Kallberg and the Catlin Court Neighborhood Association will
be given a certificate honoring them as nominees of the 2004 Ruth Byrne Historic Preservation
Award.
