Also address integrity) The Meyer House is architecturally significant as an intact example of an English Revival-style building in Floral Park. According to the original building permit, dated July 2, 1926, the residence and garage were constructed for A.J. Mansur for a cost of $5,000. When the property first appears in city directories, David Meyer, a rancher, and his wife Bessie were listed as the residence's first occupants. The Meyers occupied the residence until circa 1941. In the 1940s, they appear to have retained the residence, renting it to H. Charles Flint and his wife Elizabeth in circa 1940 and Frederic Dunstan, a salesman, and his wife Olive in circa 1945. By 1952, ownership shifted as Fred H. Langford, vice president and general manager of Santa Ana Hudson Incorporated, and his wife Hildred purchased the prope-fy, remaining until circa 1955. By 1956, the property was the address for Albert C. Bauer and his wife Minnie. The Bauers remained in the home until at least 1970, after which point occupancy shifted on numerous occasions.
