<br />(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
<br />The Granger House is architecturally notable as an intact and representative example of the English Revival style. The house
<br />and garage, valued of $5,300 on the building permit, were constructed in 1923 for Edmund H. Granger, owner of Granger
<br />Electric Company, and his wife Florence. While Mr. Granger passed away in circa 1924, Mrs. Granger remained in the
<br />residence until circa 1929. Throughout the 1930s, the home was the address for Clarence F. Campbell, the manager of
<br />Olympic Cleaners, and his wife Clara (1930-1933); Peter Hodges, a service repairman for Burroughs Adding Machine
<br />Company, and his wife Victoria (1934-1935); Harry Waldbillig, an employee of Santa Ana Motor Company, and his wife
<br />Florence (1936-1937); and Samuel F. Rhoads, president of Rhoads Petroleum Corporation, and his wife Emily (1938-1940).
<br />In the early 1940s, Abe and Agnes Johnson resided in the property, before Harry E. Barber, vice president of Burns Cuboid
<br />Company, and his wife Marion assumed occupancy until circa 1947. In 1952, Carl A. Ruff, owner of Ruff's Saw Service, and
<br />his wife Barbara bought the property, where they remained until at least 1965.
