Also address integrity) <br />The D.K. Thomas House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Neoclassical style and historically <br />notable for its association with a prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. This house was an Emmet C. Rogers development <br />home and was originally constructed in 1956, by local building contractor and Rogers'son-in-law, Arthur K Herrick. Emmet C. <br />Rogers was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. From the late 1930s through the following decade, Rogers was <br />extremely active as a building contractor, often moving his family, perhaps to houses as a finished them, on Greenleaf (2144), <br />Freeman (602 and 1315), and Towner (1010) (1930 Federal Census, Santa Ana Register July 29, 1940, 1947 and 1949 city <br />directories). He subdivided a 24-lot tract on Freeman between Washington and Fifteenth from former walnut groves in 1938, <br />maintaining property values by reviewing the proposed plans for each house in the tract (Santa Ana Register, August 27, 1938). <br />He also developed several lots on Towner, north of Washington (Santa Ana Register, July 29, 1940). The house was deeded <br />to David K. and Catherine S. Thomas in 1956. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas resided on the property until 1979 when the property was <br />sold to Dennis I. and Jane C. Fischel. Mr. and Mrs. Fischel resided in the property until 1990s. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) <br />*B12.
