Also address integrity) The Hester-Vandermast House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of the Minimal Traditional style (two-story variant). According to the original building permit, dated March 2, 1953, the residence and garage were constructed at a cost of $35,000 for Charles W. Hester, a real estate developer, and his wife Nora. Succeeding the Hesters were Newell T. Vandermast and his wife Mary, who had purchased the home by 1959. Vandermast was the grandson of Asa Vandermast, an early Santa Ana pioneer who "road the rails" to Califomia in 1904 and established a men's clothing store on West Fourth Street the same year (Orange County Register. 3 January 1931). Newell T. Vandermast served as vice president of the family-owned Vandermast Men's and Boy's Clothing Store until his father's retirement, at which point he presided over the company as president until his own retirement in 1965. The Vandermasts owned and occupied the residence until at least 1970. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes *1312.
