The property once served as a sanctuary and testament to Norton's humanitarian legacy, evolving gracefully through time.

Most recently, the estate was meticulously restored in 2001 by the Corbett family, carefully preserving original architectural integrity while seamlessly integrating modern luxuries. The Glenbrook residence is awaiting the next custodian of it's enduring legacy.
