Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The Lewis House is architecturally significant as a characteristic and intact example of a modestly sized Spanish Colonial <br />Revival home. According to the original building permit, the home was constructed in 1930 for Richard G. Lewis and his wife <br />Grace for an estimated cost of $4,000. Lewis, a welder, operated Oil Field Welding, located on Main Street in Huntington <br />Beach; Lewis's co-owner was Harry A. Loy, who lived at 1232 South Cypress Avenue in Madison Park. The Lewises owned <br />1110 South Birch Street until the early 1940s. By 1945, ownership had shifted, when Edward S. Goodner, a real estate <br />broker with Bank of America, and his wife Mary resided in the property. The Goodners remained until at least 1954. <br />Occupancy shifted at least twice in the next decade, with Reverend Harry Owen, a missionary with China Inland Mission, and <br />his wife Marguerite, residing in the home by 1956. Six years later, in 1962, Thomas O'Loughlin, an engineer, and his wife <br />Jean occupied the property, which has since changed hands on several occasions. <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br /> <br />B11.
