Also address integrity) The Judd-Wiseman House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a one-story Craftsman bungalow. According to the current owner, it was constructed in 1913 (Santa Register of Historical Properties Application Form, June 1,2004). It was first listed in the city directories in 1915, when U. L. Judd, a painter, was the occupant. In 1918, Edward J. Page, a teacher of journalism, and his wife Eleanor, had moved to this address. Two families shared the property in 1920. Harry H. Travis, a driver for the American Laundry, was noted as the head of the household and lived with his wife Emma, and Myrtle Travis. James L. Wiseman, his wife Louisa, and Mabel Wiseman, a clerk at the First National Bank, were listed in the city directories as residents. James Wiseman died around 1921. From 1922 until at least 1950, Louisa and/or Mabel Wiseman were the owners. Mabel subsequently held positions as the clerk to the justice of the peace (1926-1927) and as a secretary for Arthur M. Bradley, an attorney (1950). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *812.
