Also address integrity) The Yeary House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the middle class bungalows built in the southern portion of the Floral Park area prior to its development as Santa Ana’s most upscale neighborhood in the mid 1920s. Physician Howard N. Brothers applied for the permit to build this $4,200 house and garage in December 1922. Apparently Dr. Brothers intended to use the property as an investment; he lived on North Broadway and maintained an office in downtown Santa Ana. The first residents of the bungalow, according to city directories, were Fred R. and Emily E. Yeary, who occupied the house in 1926 and 1927. They were followed in 1928 by William E. Otis, Junior, vice-president of the Santa Ana Finance Company, and his wife, Pearl. Dr. Brothers still owned the house as of July 1928. Subsequent residents included Mrs. Mabel W. Blee, a clerk at Williard Junior High School and Harry Blee, a student, in 1934-1935, and Joe W. and Amalia S. McLoney, from 1936 through at least 1948. Mr. McLoney was an electrician.
