Also address integrity) The Mabee House is architecturally significant as a simple and rare example of the Hollywood Regency style in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1936 for approximately $14,000. Dr. Melbourne Mabee, who worked at the Santa Ana Clinic, was the property's first owner and lived in the home from 1936 to 1937. Dr. Mabee, a well -established physician and surgeon who began his practice shortly after World War I, moved from Chicago to Santa Ana in 1932. His local practice had ties with Dr. Frank H. Paterson of the Santa Ana Clinic. Additionally, Dr. Mabee acted as president of the Santa Ana Kiwanis club for one year. Tragically, on March 23, 1937, Dr. Mabee suffered a heart attack at age 60 in his newly built home (Santa Ana Register, March 24, 1937). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.) B11.
