Also address Integrity) <br />The Melton House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a modest Colonial Revival residence in the Santa Ana <br />Triangle neighborhood that illustrates a typical housing type of the 1920s. According to City of Santa Ana records, the house <br />was constructed In 1923 for Chas Hoes, who was issued a permit to construct the house whose estimated value was $2, 000. <br />The 1925 city directory lists the owner as Turner L. Melton, an electrician with the Edison Company, and his wife Estella. The <br />Meltons remained in the house until the early 1930s, Herbt Hearle and his wife Josephine became the residents. By 1940, the <br />house had changed hands again, when E. Lloyd Killingsworth, part -owner of the Beebe & Kiilingsworth auto repair shop, and <br />his wife Elizabeth moved In. The Killingsworth family remained in the house until the early 1960s, after which point the <br />ownership of the house shifted several times in subsequent decades. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />Bt 1.
