Also address integrity) <br />The Young -Keeler House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House style. This <br />house was originally constructed in 1954, by the prominent firm of Roy Russell and Son. Roy Roscoe Russell, the senior <br />partner who had developed the groves of Floral Park in the 1920s, had been joined by his son, Roy Rodney Russell in 1937, <br />and their partnership was formalized in 1945. The first residents of the property were Claude E. and Hazel Young, who <br />purchased the property soon after construction was complete. Mr. and Mrs. Young resided in the property until 1962 when it <br />was sold to Marshall and Josephine Keeler. Mr. Keeler was a 'public-spirited and progressive citizen" of Santa Ana, worked <br />as a salesman for Smart and Final wholesale grocery company, was the Vice President of the City Board of Education, <br />Director of Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County, director of Community Chest of Santa Ana and Tustin, <br />and a member of the Santa Ana Rotary club, and held office of secretary of the Santa Ana Masonic Temple Association <br />(Santa Ana Register October 18, 1926).The property was sold to Robert E. and Maxine E. Elgie in 1964. Mr. Elgie was a <br />SSG in the US Army Air Forces, and both Mr. and Mrs. Elgie are currently buried in the Riverside National Cemetery. Mr. <br />and Mrs. Elgie resided on the property until 1973. No occupancy information is provided in City directories between 1973- <br />1997. In 1998, Clifton R. Cole acquired the property. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) <br />*1312.
