Also address integrity) <br />The Rowell House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the English Revival style. The original <br />building permit issued on May 28, 1932, indicates that the house was built for $5,000 by Horace Culfer. When the improvement <br />first appeared in city directories in 1934, Lloyd G. Rowell, the district manager for the US Equitable Life Assurance Society, and his <br />wife Isabel were listed as the home's first occupants. 8y 1938, the residence was the home of Alfred Bradley, the manager of <br />Burroughs Adding Machine Company, and his wife Arlene. Residency had shifted again by 1945, when the home was the address <br />for Harold Smith (1941). Two years later, in 1947, Earl J. Hanna, general manager of the Santa Ana Daily Register. and his wife <br />Naomi resided in the home, where they remained until the early 1960s. Ownership and occupancy of the home shifted on several <br />occasions in the intervening decades. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />611.
