Also address integrity) <br />The Coffing House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style building in Floral Park and of cultural <br />note for its association with one of Santa Ana's pioneer automobile dealers, Lawrence D. Coffing. According to the original building <br />permit, dated December 6, 1926, the residence and garage were constructed for Mr. Coffing and his wife Alice. A native of Indiana, <br />Coffing moved to Southern California with his family when he was seven years old, in circa 1901. By 1914, he had joined Dodge <br />Motor Car Company, with which he maintained professional ties for fifty years. In 1925, he founded Coffing Dodge in Santa Ana, for <br />which he served as president until retiring in 1964. For nearly 40 years, the Coffings owned and resided in the home at 2437 N. <br />North Park Boulevard, until circa 1967, when Mrs. Cofhng passed away. Mr. Coffing died the following year. The residence has <br />changed hands on several occasions in the intervening decades. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
