A new solid door and a new paneled door provide the <br />two entrances into the house. The concrete steps, flanked by brick piers, <br />lead from the south side. 9-over-l double-hung windows are used <br />throughout the house except for the plate glass windows in the front <br />facade. A row of stationary multi-paned windows forms a wind screen at <br />the north end of the porch. <br />Jabe Hill, who built this house in 1912, was the founder and president <br />of Hill and Carden, a Santa Ana clothing store which operated in the city for <br />more than sixty years.
