Also address integrity) <br />The Gerken House is architecturally significant as an intact example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. According to the orginial <br />building permit, dated May 18, 1927, the residence and garage, costing $6000, were constructed for Honer, Herzig and Farney, who <br />were also the contractors of the residence. When the residence first appears in city directories, Walter E. and Alice H Gerken are <br />listed as the residents. Mr. Gerken was listed as a salesman for Union Oil. By 1962, Walter Gerken had retired. He and his wife <br />remained in the home until Mr. Gerken's death in 1965 (Alice passed away in 1960). <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611.
