Also address integrity) The H.L. Johnson House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the English Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1927, and was valued at approximately $4,500, according to the original building permit. While there is no architect or contractor listed in the original building permit, S.B. Ferrier was listed as the owner at the time of construction. There is no record of Ferrier residing at the property, and the first recorded occupant was H.L. Johnson, based on building permit research, who moved to the property some time before 1935. The next recorded occupants were Ralph L. & Emma P. Bowen, who became associated with the property some time prior to 1952. Ralph worked at the Owl Drug pharmacy in Santa Ana, and upon his death in 1961, Emma remained in the house for at least another year. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11.
