Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The Miller House is architecturally significant for its transitional styling, combining aspects of the Moderne style (Art Moderne <br />variant) and the Colonial Revival (Regency Variant). According to the original building permit, dated November 19, 1935, the <br />residence and garage were constructed for Herbert L. Miller and his wife Doris by noted Floral Park developer Alison C. Honer <br />at a cost of $8,500. A native of Texas, Miller moved to Santa Ana by way of San Francisco in circa 1921. By 1936, he had <br />founded Herbert L. Miller, Incorporated, Orange County’s distributor for Willard Batteries and Diamond Tires. Miller and his <br />wife, who by 1956 served as vice president of the company over which her husband presided, owned and occupied 1809 <br />North Heliotrope Drive until at least 1965. <br /> <br /> (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br /> <br />B11.
