Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The 1911 Crose House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a Craftsman house from the early years of <br />the twentieth century in Santa Ana and historically notable for its association with a prominent family of the period. Charles F. <br />and Nina Crose moved from Iowa to Santa Ana in 1910 because of Nina's ill health. According to Pleasants' biography of the <br />family, Mr, Close "erected a beautiful home at Cypress and Pine streets" upon his arrival. He also purchased a walnut grove <br />upon which his daughter and her husband settled. Mr. Crose soon became secretary of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers <br />Association and manager of its packing house. Mr. Crose was also connected with the Orange County Farmer's Mutual Fire <br />Insurance Company and was elected president of the State Mutual Insurance Association. Mr. Crose attained the Knight <br />Templar degree of the Masonic order, and was a member of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and the Independent Order of <br />Odd Fellows. Mrs. Nina Crose became active in philanthropic and social affairs, serving as president of the missionary society <br />of the Congregational Church, president of the Ebell Club of Santa Ana, and president of the County Federated Clubs, as well <br />as an officer of several other clubs and organizations (Pleasants, 1931). <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br /> <br />B 11.
