Also address integrity) <br />The Clem-Koentopp House is architecturally significant as an early and characteristic example of Ranch House style. Built in <br />1936, the Clem-Koentopp House was designed by H.C. Nordstrom, a local Santa Ana architect and a "Renovize Man," <br />associated with the Santa Ana Renovize campaign of the early 1930's. Mr. Nordstrom is associated with Stanley Clem, a <br />local Santa Ana civic leader, vice-president, and sales manager of the Santa Ana Lumber Company. Along with Mr. <br />Nordstrom, Stanley Clem is credited with designing and patenting the "Lockcraft" framing system, which at the time was a <br />new system of wood building construction that combined, `qualities of safety, economy, beauty, and simplicity" (Santa Ana <br />Register. July 2, 1936). <br />The first known residents of the Clem-Koentopp House were Albert P. Koentopp and his wife Mildred Koentopp. Mr. <br />Koentopp was a doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) and doctor of chiropractic philosophy (Ph.C.) who graduated from Palmer <br />College of Chiropractic and practiced in the historic Otis Building on 101 West Fourth Street at Martyn X-Ray Chiropractors <br />along fellow Palmer graduate and chiropractor C.A. Martyn, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Koentopp remained in the property until mid- <br />1940's when it was sold to James and Cecil A. Mahoney who remained in the house until 1987. According to city directories, <br />the next resident was Edwin Smith (1988), who then sold it to Daniel Hopson in 2001. Robert and Diedre Moffat purchased <br />the property in 2006 and sold it to the current property in 2017. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
