Also address integrity) <br />The Cain House is architecturally signitrcant as arepresentative example of the Tudor Revival style. According to the original <br />building permit, dated August 25, 1930, the residence and garage were constructed at a cost of $4,000. The original owner of the <br />property when it first appears in tax assessor rolls in 1931 was Della Cain. By 1932, Cain had sold the property fo Harry D. <br />Mcllvain, who occupied the home with Clifford Mcllvain, until 1938. From 1939 through the early 1940s, the residence was <br />occupied by Jacob Coffman, manager of Sears Roebuck & Company, and his wife Edna. By 1947, occupancy had shifted again <br />when Arnold P. Norton and his wife Helen resided in the home. Born in 1905, Norton attended Santa Ana High School and the <br />University of California, Berkeley. After graduating, Norton worked in the lumber trade until retiring in 1970. He also served as the <br />vice president of the Orange County Library in the early 1950s. In subsequent decades, residency of the house changed several <br />times. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) <br />*B12.
