Jennie E Suppes founded the Missionary Rest Colony on Mission Road, Glendale, CA c.1920. Her goal was to build a whole community for visiting missionaries, regardless of ecclesiastical denomination or nationality. Suppes retired in the 1950s and transferred ownership to the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The CMA owned the colony until the 1970s. In 2005, MEK Associates, Inc owned the property and had the buildings deconstructed to support a healthcare company expansion project. Local community members including Alan Leib and Donald Cram attempted to save the Missionary Rest Colony.
