Also address integrity) The Clem-Koentopp House is architecturally significant as an early and characteristic example of Ranch House style. Built in 1936, the Clem-Koentopp House was designed by H.C. Nordstrom, a local Santa Ana architect and a "Renovize Man," associated with the Santa Ana Renovize campaign of the early 1930's. Mr. Nordstrom is associated with Stanley Clem, a local Santa Ana civic leader, vice-president, and sales manager of the Santa Ana Lumber Company. Along with Mr. Nordstrom, Stanley Clem is credited with designing and patenting the "Lockcraft" framing system, which at the time was a new system of wood building construction that combined, "qualities of safety, economy, beauty, and simplicity" (Santa Ana Register July2, 1936). The first known residents of the Clem-Koentopp House were Albert P. Koentopp and his wife Mildred Koentopp. Mr. Koentopp was a doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) and doctor of chiropractic philosophy (Ph.C.) who graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and practiced in the historic Otis Building on 101 West Fourth Street at Martyn X-Ray Chiropractors along fellow Palmer graduate and chiropractor C.A. Martyr, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Koentopp remained in the property until mid- 1940's when it was sold to James and Cecil A. Mahoney who remained in the house until 1987. According to city directories, the next resident was Edwin Smith (1988), who then sold it to Daniel Hopson in 2001. Robert and Diedre Moffat purchased the property in 2006 and sold it to the current property in 2017. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
