Also address integrity) The Barnhill -McDowell House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1925 by J.T. McQuinn, and was valued at approximately $5,000, according to the original building permit and Newspapers.com (Santa Ana Recister). At the time of its construction the listed property owner was J.T. McQuinn, who was a local builder. According to city directories, Newton E. Wray and Isabel Wray purchased the property soon after and maintained it as a rental. Mr. Wray was a walnut and citrus farmer and a member of The Long Beach Scottish Rite masons. The property was primarily rented to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Barnhill. Mr. Barnhill was one of the first Santa Ana Police motorcycle officers, and later one of the first State Patrol officers of the California Highway Patrol. In 1929 the property was sold to Claude J. and lone L. McDowell. Mr. McDowell was chairman of the Santa Ana Breakfast Club program committee and manager of the Weber Bread industrial bakery in Santa Ana. The next recorded occupants were Donald G. and Mary Jerome. Mr. Jerome was the owner of a service station in downtown Santa Ana at 51h and Birch Streets. The property was sold in 1942 to Allan P. and Carmen R. Carstensen. Mr. Carstensen owned and operated a local grocery store. The next documented occupants of the home were James C. and Delinda S. Fallon (1948) who later deeded the property to the Department of Veterans Affairs. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 611. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.
