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