Also address integrity) <br />The Webster House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the Tudor Revival style. According to <br />the original building permit, dated June 19, 1931, the residence and garage were constructed at a cost of $6,000. The owner listed <br />on the permit was E.C. Rogers, a building contractor. When the house first appears in the city directory in 1932, Elmer E Webster <br />and his wife Mabel were listed as the residents. No occupation was listed for Mr. Webster. The Websters remained in the house <br />until 1937, when Benjamin T. Woodward, a veterinarian surgeon, and his wife Helen, became the occupants. Subsequent city <br />directories also list Mr. Woodward's occupation as food consultant. According to documentation provided by the current (2006) <br />owner, Mr. Woodward died in 1953 and Mrs. Woodward remained in the house until her death in 1986. The estate was sold to <br />Richard and Beverly Martel in 1987, and has since switched hands several times. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611.
