Also address integrity) The Fuller-Utt House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the English Revival style and historically notable for its association with a prominent Santa Ana resident, James Utt. The original building permit, issued in November 1930, indicates that the house was built for $5,000 by Roy Roscoe Russell, one of the original developers of Floral Park . When the improvement first appeared in city directories in 1932 , Ralph D. Fuller, an assistant trust officer with the Bank of America, and his wife Edna were listed as the home’s first occupants. By 1936, the residence was the home of James B. Utt, whose father Charles had been one of the founders and early settlers of Tustin, California. James Utt and his wife Charlena remained in the home until 1939 . During this time, Utt served as assemblyman for the 74th district in the California State Assembly. By 1937, Utt had been appointed state inheritance tax appraiser, a position he held until 1952. (In 1953, Utt began a nearly twenty-year term as a congressperson in the United States House of Representatives.) From 1939 to at least the early 1960s, Mrs. Mattie C. Long, who operated a hemstitching and button shop on Fourth Street, occupied the residence. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.
