Also address integrity) <br />The Woodfill House is architecfurallysigniticant as a characteristic and intact example of a modest English Revival residence. <br />Constructed in 1930 for O.F. Fowler, the property first appears in Santa Ana City directories in 1931, at which time it stood <br />vacant. City directories indicate that the first resident of the house was Gordon and Margaret Evenson, who owned the <br />property in 1931. Through the decade, ownership changed hands several times, going from the Evensons to Mrs. Mary E. <br />Thomas, who occupied the house from at least 1934 to 1936, then to Mrs. Alice E. Freeman, who owned and resided in the <br />home in the late 1930s. Ownership shifted again in the 1940s, when Santa Ana accountant and tax consultant Charles O. <br />Woodfill and his wife Melvina purchased 1121 S. Van Ness. The Woodfills resided in the home for over twenty years, until <br />the late 1960s. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611.
