Also address integrity) <br />The Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Monterey Revival <br />architectural style in Santa Ana. Substantially intact, the property was built in 1936 by Jasper Famey, partner in the prominent <br />Santa Ana construction and development company of Honer, Herzig, and Famey. The home was built for Dr. Mabel A. <br />Geddes and her husband William Geddes, who resided on the property with their three sons, David, John, and Francis. Dr. <br />Mabel A. Geddes was a supervisor of health for Orange County schools, Board member of the Young Women's Christian <br />Association (YWCA) of Santa Ana, and a Chairperson of Orange County Nutrition Committee. David Geddes went on to <br />become a doctor and was a leading Orange County psychiatrist for 50 years, and responsible for founding the Rush Center <br />for psychiatric care at St. Joseph Medical Center in Orange. Dr. Mabel A. Geddes and her family resided on the property until <br />mid- to late-1970s. According to City directories, the property was occupied by Robert Bruce and Alice Sinclair. City <br />directories show that they resided on the property until 2010 before the property was transferred or bought by Kimberly <br />Sinclair. Kimberly Sinclair remained at the property until the current owner's purchased the property. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
