<br />The Alymore-Stephenson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style and of
<br />cultural interest for its association with long-time Southern California journalist Terry E. Stephenson, Jr According to the
<br />original building permit, dated February 6, 1931, the residence and garage were constructed for Reeves Alymore, an attorney,
<br />and his wife Mabelle, for an estimated cost of $11,000. The Alymores remained in the residence until circa 1933, when Mabee
<br />Melbourne, a physician with the Santa Ana Clinic, and his wife Florence occupied the home. Between 1936 and 1945, the
<br />residence became the address for George and Caroline Perkins (circa 1936 to 1941) and Maurice Ruppert, production
