Also address integrity) The Jennie Lasby Tessmann House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic use of the Tudor Revival style and historically notable for its association with a prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. It was built in 1931 by E. C. Rogers for a total cost of $4,500 including the residence and garage, and remained, according to the building permit record, virtually unaltered until the 2001. Emmet C. Rogers was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. He was born in 1896 in Missouri (1930 Federal Census). By 1920, he had married his wife June and moved to Greeley, Colorado, where he was a high school teacher (1920 Federal Census). A few years later, in 1923, he had relocated his family to Santa Ana, and had a dual appointment at both Willard and Lathrop Junior High Schools, where he taught science (Santa Ana Daily Register, April 4, 1923). From the late 1930s through the following decade, Rogers was extremely active as a building contractor, often moving his family, perhaps to houses as he finished them, on Greenleaf (2144), Freeman (602 and 1315), and Towner (1010) (1930 Federal Census, Santa Ana Register July 29, 1940, 1947 and 1949 city directories). According to city directories, Emmet C. Rogers resided at the Jennie Lasby Tessmann House for only two years. Between 1933 and 1945, various renters were identified has having lived at the Jennie Lasby Tessmann House, including Harold C. and Izetta M. Woodward (1933-1937), Edson S. and Rose Pettis (1938), and Lloyd F. and Lillian Brogan (1939-1945). In 1945, John Heinrich Tessmann and Jennie Lasby Tessmann purchased the residence.
