Also address integrity) <br />The Hester-Vandermast House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the Minimal Traditional style <br />(two-story variant). According to the original building permit, dated March 2, 1953, the residence and garage were constructed of a <br />cost of $35,000 for Charles W. Hester, a real estate developer, and his wife Nora. Succeeding the Hesters were Newell T. <br />Vandermast and his wife Mary, who had purchased the home by 1959. Vandermast was the grandson of Asa Vandermast, an early <br />Santa Ana pioneer who "road the rails" to California in 1904 and established a men's clothing store on West Fourth Street the same <br />year (Orange Countv Register. 3 January 1931). Newell T. Vandermast served as vice president of the family-owned Vandermast <br />Men's and Boy's Clothing Store until his father's retirement, at which point he presided over the company as president until his own <br />retirement in 1965. The Vandermasts owned and occupied the residence until of least 1970. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes <br />*B12.
