T his <br />house was originally constructed in 1927 and was valued at approximately $8,000, according to the original building permit. A t <br />the time of its construction, the listed property owner was the Olbert A. Haley, who lived in the property for seven years with <br />wife Ellen Haley. Mr. Haley, a partner in Haley and O’Conner, sold Hudson automobiles. In 1923, Haley was listed as a partner <br />in the Dodge Brothers Motor Court located at 415 North Bush Street (Marsh, 1998). After 1934, the property was sold multiple <br />times, including to Colonel William G. Archer (1934), O.E. Scharer (1937), and Mary E. Schofield (1938). Mary E. Schofield <br />graduated from the University of California and taught mathematics at Santa Ana Polytechnic High School. In 1940, the property <br />was sold to Cecil E. and Mary E. Tozier who resided on the property until the 1950s. Cecil E. Tozier was a “master musician,” <br />who played with the bands of John Phillip Sousa (five seasons), Arthur Pryor (two seasons), Herbert L. Clarke, among others. <br />As a woodwind player, Tozier played the English horn, oboe, clarinet, and saxophone, but also played the piano. While not <br />playing in an orchestra, Tozier would teach out of his home. The property was sold to R. G. Harris in 1962 who resided in the <br />property until 1978. <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br /> <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) <br />*B12.
