<br />The Evans -Harr House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic Minimal Traditional style and historically
<br />notable for its association with a prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. It was built in 1947 by E. C. Rogers for a total
<br />cost of $9,000 including the residence and garage. Emmet C. Rogers was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. He was
<br />born in 1896 in Missouri (1930 Federal Census). By 1920, he had married his wife Juna and moved to Greeley, Colorado,
<br />where he was a high school teacher (1920 Federal Census). A few years later, in 1923, he had relocated his family to Santa
<br />Ana, and had a dual appointment at both Willard and Lathrop Junior High Schools, where he taught science (Santa Ana Daily
<br />Register, April 4, 1923). From the late 1930s through the following decade, Rogers was extremely active as a building
<br />contractor, often moving his family, perhaps to houses as he finished them, on Greenleaf (2144), Freeman (602 and 1315),
<br />and Towner (1010) (1930 Federal Census, Santa Ana Register July 29, 1940, 1947 and 1949 city directories).
<br />According to city directories, the first known residents were Charles J. Evans and Violet A. Evans. Mr, and Mrs. Evans were a
<br />retired couple who lived in the house for 15 years until 1962 when it was listed as vacant. While the residents during the
<br />years of 1962-1976 are unknown, it is known that Robert Kenneth Harr and wife Diane Foster Harr purchased the home in
<br />1977. Mr. Harr, along with business partner Allen B. Christian, was affiliated with several patented designs.
