It was built in 1928 for $15, 000. According to City directories, the first owners were William Isbell Gibbs and his wife <br />Jessamyne Gibbs. They lived in the home for 16 years from 1929 to 1945. Mr. Gibbs was a partner at Gibbs and Scott Auto <br />Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in Downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were prolific in the Santa Ana social scene in the <br />1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local women's organizations. The home was sold in 1947 <br />to rancher Glenna E Mathis and his wife Charlotte who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954 the home was sold to Dr. <br />William L. Wesley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post -graduate degrees and was a research chemist <br />for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 1957, Bill joined the US Department of Agriculture, Western Regional Research <br />Laboratory. His research included fiber and polymer chemistry, in 1962 the home was occupied by George and Vernelle Frazier, <br />George was a local realtor. After 1962 the home was occupied by several owners, in recent years it was owned by Marcia <br />Cruchley who sadly passed away and the home is now in the care of new owners. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
