Also address integrity) <br /> <br /> Built in 1921, the Liggett-Wallace House is significant as a representative example of a late Craftsman bungalow. It exhibits <br />the simplification of the earlier Craftsman style that typified the early 1920s, when a few signature elements, such as low- <br />pitched gables with exposed beams and rafters, clapboard siding, and a front porch, were enough to identify the style. The <br />house is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, Delbert and Ruby <br />Liggett were the first occupants of the house in 1921. Mr. Liggett worked for the Bemis Lumber Company. In 1923, Albert and <br />Marion Wallace began a twenty-year residency. Albert Wallace was an engineer with the Santa Fe Railroad (Marsh, 1998). <br /> <br /> (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br /> <br />B11.
