This house was originally constructed in 1945, and was valued at approximately $6,650, according to the original building permit. The first recorded occupants are Myron E. and Florence LeSourd. Florence LeSourd was a member of various social clubs, including the Ebell Household Economics and the First Congregational Church Woman's Union. Myron E. LeSourd was a Harvard graduate (1906) and worked as an accountant for Curran Lumber Company at 1003 East Fourth Street, The Curran lumber company owned by Frank Curran, was a city partner in much of the development of downtown Santa Ana and much of the development of pre- and post -WWII structures throughout the City. The Curran lumber was noted as receiving the contract for the second Santa Ana City Hall in 1935, Mr. and Mrs. Lesourd remained in the property until 1949 when they bequeathed the home to their daughter, Anne Marie LeSourd. According to city directories, various occupants resided on the property after Anne Marie LeSourd, including E.D. Agnew (1979), Adrian Carpets (1985), Jason E. and Gwendolen Wynder (1995), before the current owners acquired it in 2018. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
