Also address integrity) <br />The Ridley C. Smith House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Neoclassical style. This house was <br />originally constructed in 1927, and was valued at approximately $7,000, according to the original building permit. The first <br />recorded occupants are Ridley C. and Jessie M. Smith. Born in Texas, Ridley C. Smith attended grammar school in Santa Ana, <br />graduated from Santa Ana High School and graduated from the University of Southern California (1922) from the College of <br />Law. The same year he was admitted to The State Bar of California. In 1925, Ridley C. Smith returned to Santa Ana to manage <br />a large wholesale dairy products plant, which he managed for several years. In 1932, he returned to his law practice with offices <br />in the Bank of America Building and in 1935 he was elected to the School Board of Education of the Santa Ana High School <br />District. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />1311.
