Also address integrity) The Stein House is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of a highly intact and characteristically detailed example of a Craftsman bungalow. It was constructed in 1919, at a cost of $4, 900 for Sam and Celia Stein. The proprietor of a store at 210 West Fourth Street that sold books, stationery, and toys, Sam Stein was swell-liked and respected member of the community. Born in Russia in 1885, his parents immigrated to New York, and Stein came to California in 1902. His work at the Lazarus Stationery Company in Los Angeles inspired him to open his own store in Santa Ana, and by 1921 he employed eleven people (Armor, 1921, page 1604). Known for his apparently large "stature" and his `jollity," Stein was listed in the 1920 city directory as "Stein, Sam Of Course." (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 611.
