Also address integrity) <br />The Harold T. Segerstrom House is architecturally distinguished as a remarkably intact and characteristic example of the <br />French Eclectic style of the late 1940s. Its period revival design, substantial scale, and generous setback contribute to the <br />elegant and distinctive streetscape on River Lane. It was built in 1948 by prominent developer and builder Allison Honer (1897- <br />1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, now the Floral Park subdivision <br />between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable <br />projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer <br />Shopping Plaza. <br />The Harold T. Segerstrom house was built for Harold 'Hal" Segerstrom Sr. and wife Veronica P. Segerstrom. Harold Segerstrom <br />Sr., one of the six sons of Charles John (C.J.) and Britta Segerstrom, was a member of one of the leading families of Orange <br />County. C.J. and Britta Segerstrom came to Orange County from Sweden, with an intermediate stop in the Midwest, in 1898. <br />They purchased land in what is now Costa Mesa and established a family agricultural business, which specialized in producing <br />lima beans and maintaining a large dairy herd. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
