Yes, brethren, Herbert W. Armstrong's own Pasadena residence at 210 South Orange Grove Boulevard—that hallowed slice of Millionaires' Row—is apparently up for grabs (or at least lingering in the ether of old listings and bankruptcy echoes from years past). Pre-foreclosure prices? Well, let's just say the market gods are smiling indulgently on anyone foolish enough to claim this sacred relic.
Imagine Samuel sitting on the very same throne—where HWA did his morning devotions and sleep in the same bedroom where Herbert met his earthly end in Loma's favorite perch. Or, if you're partial to the more colorful COG conspiracy lore, the spot where he was supposedly "asphyxiated by a certain Russian" (because nothing says divine protection like a good old-fashioned Church of God hit job).
What divine providence! Samuel could even inherit the sacred lodging space once occupied by the legendary Gerald Waterhouse, where he so piously entertained virile young Ambassador College lads—though, alas, the garage has been unceremoniously lifted and relocated like some architectural rapture to an adjacent location.
And don't get me started on the basement safe: walk right in and touch the very shelves where Herbert kept his redlined, annotated copies of JW, LDS, and SDA materials (for "research purposes," naturally). Feel the lingering aura where his personal copy of Mein Kampf once sat—truly, a collector's item for the discerning apostle.
So many glorious, non-coincidental opportunities piling up like manna from heaven! The Merritt Mansion, the Auditorium, now Herb's own digs—clearly this is all part of the grand Plan of Salvation unfolding before our very eyes. No mere coincidence; it's a sign!
Chop chop, brethren! Open those wallets wider than ever before and give as you've never given! The true work marches on, salvation hangs by a thread, and God's modern-day apostle can't possibly fund these holy acquisitions on faith alone. Dig deep, sacrifice mightily—your eternal reward (and Sam's new address) depends on it. Praise be to the endless real estate revival!

Know what's really funny? I lived in 380 Grove for a year, and that Zillow picture is the first time I ever saw the front of the house! During that year, I never needed to walk up to Orange Grove, I mean there weren't any classes up there. Because of who lived there, I didn't even venture close. Only saw the side view, and that from down the street. Always remained respectfully in the student areas.
