Also address integrity) <br />The H.A. Petersen House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Contemporary Modern -style house in Santa <br />Ana. The property is currently a contributor to the Floral Park Historic District which is roughly bounded by Santiago Creek, <br />17th Street, Broadway, and Flower Street. The district includes 576 contributing buildings and 97 non-contributing buildings <br />that are single-family or multi -family residential. <br />Assessor data indicates the property was built in 1951 by contractor Douglas W. Edwards for $15,000. The six -room <br />residence and garage were constructed for Homer A. Petersen. Homer Petersen and his wife Grace are listed in the 1954 <br />Santa Ana City Directory, and Petersen was listed as an internal revenue agent (Ancestry.com 2011a). The Petersen family <br />owned and occupied 2402 North Riverside Drive until Dr. Paul Lambert and his wife Jean L. Lambert purchased the property <br />in 1955 (The Reqister 1955). Dr. Lambert was a physician and general practitioner in Santa Ana and served in the Korean <br />War. According to city building permits, in 1956, Anthony Bros Inc. constructed a swimming pool for Paul Lambert, though the <br />property does not currently have a swimming pool and black and white aerials make it difficult to confirm a swimming pool <br />was constructed in the narrow backyard. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6). <br />B11.
