Its period revival design, substantial scale, and generous setback <br />contribute to the elegant and distinctive streetscape on North Victoria Drive. It was built in 1928 for W. Roy George at the <br />considerable cost of $19,000. From 1929 until his death in 1972, W. Roy George and his wife Helen resided in the house. <br />According to his obituary, George was a partner in the Federal Finance Company for 40 years as well as an attomey and a <br />former city planning commissioner. George was also active in the community, having served as president of the Downtown <br />Kiwanis Club and the Santa Ana Club. <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br /> <br />611.
