This house was originally constructed in 1935, and was valued at approximately $4,000 according to the original building permit. It was built by Horace Caldwell Head, son of Dr. and Captain William Head who was a member of the California Assembly and surgeon. Dr. Head was said to have fought in the American Civil War on the Confederate side and was Grand Cyclops to the Ku Klux Klan in Tennessee. Dr. Head is also said to have personally delivered the bill to Sacramento to allow Orange County to secede from Los Angeles County. He Horace Head was a graduate of University of California, Berkeley and was the attorney of the Orange County Flood Control District, and later, was District Attorney for the County of Orange from 1904 to 1908. He served as President of the Orange County Bar Association from 1915 to 1920. The Head-Wimpey House was first sold to Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Wimpey in 1936. Mrs. A.B. Wimpey was a member of the First Presbyterian Woman's auxiliary circles. Their daughter, Shirley Wimpey, was a member of the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Christian Church. The Wimpeys lived in the property until the late 1940s. A. Newcomer purchased the property in 1952 and then later sold it to John Scrivner in 1953. Since then, the Head-Wimpey House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowner purchased the home in 2021. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
