Also address integrity) <br />The Tubbs -Schatz House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the English Revival style. This house <br />and detached garage were originally constructed in 1929, and were valued at approximately $6,000, according to the original <br />building permit. At the time of construction, the property owner was listed as C.O. Smith and his wife Florence L. Smith, <br />although it is unclear if the Smiths ever lived in the building. The Smith's deeded the property to W.L. Tubbs and Cynthia <br />Tubbs a few months after the original building permit was issued in 1929. W. Lester Tubbs was a businessman who worked <br />for the Orange County Trust and Savings Bank. Deeds indicate that the Tubbs sold the house to Harry D. Riley and Alice E. <br />Riley in March 1932. Harry D. Riley served as supervisor of the 3"d district of Orange County from 1937 to 1941, and was also <br />Chairman of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. In 1932, not long after purchasing the property, Harry D. Riley riled for <br />bankruptcy. As one of Riley's assets, the property at 2031 North Ross Street briefly came back under the ownership of W. <br />Lester Tubbs. Tubbs then sold the property later that year to Ernest C. Stump, who was a salesman. According to city <br />directories and building permits, the next recorded owner and occupant is Jerome E. Braden, who was a buyer, and <br />purchased the property in 1938. Braden sold the property to Frank and Irma K. Schatz in 1963.. In 1980, the listed occupant is <br />L. Schatz. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and <br />*B12. References: <br />City of Santa Ana Building Permits. <br />Harris, Cyril M.
