<br />The Van Dien House is architecturally significant as a example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style in Floral Park.
<br />According to the original building permit, dated August 3, 1929, the residence and garage were constructed for Horace 8.
<br />Van Dien and his wife Clara for a cost of $15,000. Van Dien was the proprietor of Van Dien-Young Company, a building
<br />materials and trucking company located at 508 East Fourth Street. The Van Diens owned the property for nearly a decade,
<br />until circa 1938. Succeeding the Van Diens was Emil Wagner, the owner of Brown & Wagner Colonial Mortuary, and his wife
<br />Mildred, who remained in the home through the early 1940s. By 1944, Harry G. Huffman, a prominent Santa Ana surgeon
<br />and physician, and his wife Vyvian purchased the property, where they remained until at least 1956. Huffman, one time
<br />president of the Orange County Medical Association, retired in 1960. By 1962, the home was the address of J. V Landau, the
<br />vice president of Sta-Hi Color Service, and his wife Betty. Ownership has since shifted in subsequent decades.
