Also address integrity) The Hester - Dempsey House is architecturally significant as an early and characteristic example of Ranch House style. It was built in 1953 and the first known residents were Hugo Jay (H.J.) Lamb and Mary E. Lamb, who resided on the property for only a year. Carl H. Benning, a retiree, and his wife Elsie G. Bening, resided on the property from 1954-1957. Thomas Hester and his wife Ann K. Hester resided on the property in 1957. Ann K. Hester continued to live on the property until 1972, 27-years after Thomas Hester's passing in 1945. John G. Dempsey and Linda Dempsey (formerly Linda Blowers) purchased the property after Mrs. Nester's death. Linda Dempsey was the daughter of Floyd A. Blower and Margaret F. Blower who were an Orange County pioneer family, settling in Tustin in the late 1800's. John and Linda Dempsey resided on the property until 1996 when the property was sold to Robert E. and Jeanette Wilde. According to city directories, Robert E. Wilde resided on the property until his passing in 2017. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *1312.
