Also address integrity) <br />The Fipps-Fink House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman bungalow, built in <br />Heninger Paris, an architecturally significant neighborhood. The first occupants were the Fipps family which included Walter <br />Fipps, a plasterer, and his wife Viola, as well as children Charles, Ruth, Remus, Wilbur, Larue, and Thelma. The children <br />were already grown with Charles being a driver for the Crown State line, and Remus entering the United States Army in 1918. <br />Around that same time, Walter remarried Lydia (it is unknown if Viola died or the marriage dissolved). Walter Fipps died in <br />1921, and his widow, Lydia passed away in 1940. The residence was sold the same year Walter Fipps passed away. The <br />next residents were James and Laura Alexander. James was the Assistant Postmaster for the growing city. The house then <br />changes owners multiple times until Henry and John Fink purchased the property in 1937. The two brothers shared the home <br />until Henry's death in 1950, and another brother Jacob moved in at that time. They lived in the house at least another 14 <br />years. The Finks had another brother, Harry Fink, who was the Assistant Chief of Police for Santa Ana during this period. In <br />subsequent decades, residency of the house continued to change numerous times. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
