In 1861 William Alexander Procter, son of the founding partner, bought multiple acres, built a beautiful home and moved from downtown Cincinnati to Glendale.
Their home, "The Oaks", was a large frame house with all of the amenities of country living.
William Alexander Procter's son William Cooper Procter built his home, The Woodlands, on land adjacent to his father's.
Always thinking of the village, W.A. contributed this fountain to refresh humans and horses in 1894.
