Also address integrity) <br />The L. A. West House is amhitecturally significant as an exceptional example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, one of <br />the best in Santa Ana. Its period revival design, substantial scale, and generous setback contribute to the elegant and <br />distinctive streetscape on North Victoria Drive. The house was built in 1929 for attorney Leonard A. West and his wife, <br />Mamie H. West. Born in Kentucky in 1872 and educated in Indiana, West arrived in Santa Ana in 1907. He opened a law <br />office and practiced alone until 1930, when he entered into a partnership with 8. Z. McKinney. West was elected district <br />attorney of Orange County three times, serving from 1910 until 1921. Active in many fraternal organizations in the city, West <br />was also chairman of the board oftrustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
