Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The H.J. Lamb - Dempsay House is architecturally significant as an early and characteristic example of Ranch House style. It <br />was built in 1953 and the first known residents were Hugo Jay (H.J.) Lamb and Mary E. Lamb, who resided on the property <br />for only a year. Carl H. Benning, a retiree, and his wife Elsie G. Benning, resided on the property from 1954-1957. Thomas <br />Haster and his wife Ann K. Haster resided on the property in 1957. Ann K. Haster continued to live on the property until 1972, <br />27-years after Thomas Haster’s passing in 1945. John G. Dempsay and Linda Dempsay (formerly Linda Blowers) purchased <br />the property after Mrs. Haster’s death. Linda Dempsay was the daughter of Floyd A. Blower and Margaret F. Blower who <br />were an Orange County pioneer family, settling in Tustin in the late 1800’s. John and Linda Dempsay resided on the property <br />until 1996 when the property was sold to Robert E. and Jeanette Wilde. According to city directories, Robert E. Wilde resided <br />on the property until his passing in 2017. <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br /> <br />B11.
