Also address integrity) <br /> The Whitten House is architecturally significant as the best example of the Craftsman style in the Wilshire Square <br /> neighborhood. According to previous research(Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association, 1990), it was constructed around <br /> 1920. The bungalow was moved in 1929 from an unknown location to its current site, a lot in Wilshire Square purportedly <br /> purchased for$10.00, by Roy Langley, a resident of Cypress Avenue and proprietor of Langley Oil Company. The first <br /> occupants following relocation were Herbert and Gladys Whitten. Mr. Whitten was a meat cutter for E. R. Urbine in the Grand <br /> Central Market. In 1931, Lawrence Brown, a salesman, and his wife, Ferne, took up residence in the bungalow. Featured in <br /> the 1990 Wilshire Square Historic Home Tour, the property also contains three walnut trees In the back yard, a reminder of <br /> the earlier agricultural use of the WMlshire Square area. <br /> (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br /> 811.
