Also address integrity) <br />The Tarr -Wright House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic use of the Colonial Revival Cape Cod style and <br />historically notable for its association with a prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. It was built in 1940 by E. C. Rogers for <br />a total cost of $10,000 including the residence and garage. Emmet C. Rogers was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. <br />He was born in 1896 in Missouri (1930 Federal Census). By 1920, he had married his wife June and moved to Greeley, <br />Colorado, where he was a high school teacher (1920 Federal Census). A few years later, in 1923, he had relocated his family <br />to Santa Ana, and had a dual appointment at both Willard and Lathrop Junior High Schools, where he taught science (Santa <br />Ana Daily 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, Emmet C. Rogers resided at the Tarr -Wright House for a year. Between 1941 and 1954, various <br />renters were identified has having lived at the Tarr -Wright House, including Ray P. and Ruth Tarr (1941-1945), Robert B. and <br />Cecile R. Wright (1950-1953), and Thomas V. and Maurine Reeve. It is unknown how long the Reeve's lived in the Tarr -Wright <br />House prior to more recent residents. The more notable residents of the Tarr -Wright House were both Mr. Ray P. Tarr and <br />Robert B. Wright. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
