Also address integrity) <br /> The Was House is significant as an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style in terms of its characteristic features and <br /> high level of integrity. Its period revival design, substantial scale, and generous setback contribute to the elegant and <br /> distinctive streetscape on North Victoria Drive. According to the original building permit, the house and garage were <br /> constructed in 1927, making this property one of the first on Victoria Drive to be improved. The cost of construction was <br /> $15,000, a large sum at the time and typical of the homes that would follow on the street. Orange County directories in 1929 <br /> and 1930 indicate that Frank J. Was, vice president of First National Bank, and his wife Margaret owned the house. From <br /> 1931 until at least 1946, Clarence and Hazel B. Bond resided at the address. Clarence Bond was with G. W. Bond and Son, <br /> an investment securities firm located at 109 West Sixth Street in Santa Ana. <br /> (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br /> B11.
