Also address integrity) <br />The Neiman House is architecturally significant for its highly intact, whimsical, Storybook design, in particular as one of the <br />few examples of the roofing pattern associated with the style that remain in Santa Ana. It was built in 1931 at a cost of $6,500 <br />for Jacob Neiman and his wife, Jennie H. Neiman. Born in Pennsylvania, Jacob Neiman came to Santa Ana around 1920 and <br />became a rancher. It appears that the family occupied this house for most of the 1930s, although directories also show the <br />couple with an address in Orange (perhaps the location of their ranch). For a couple of years mid - decade (1936 and 1937), <br />the house was occupied by Harold S. and Emma G. Wright, but the directories for this address reverted back to the Neimans <br />in 1938. Harold Wright was the district manager of the Pay'n Takit Stores Company. Jacob Neiman, a past trustee of the <br />Santa Ana Elks Lodge, passed away in 1941, and was living at 1127 West Seventeenth Street at the time. In the 1940s, the <br />property was home to Mrs. Addie M. Cox (1940 directory) and C. E. and Alberta G. Stewart (1944 building permit, 1947 <br />directory. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />811. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and <br />*B12.
