Also address integrity) <br />The Wiesseman-Jonason House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the gable-and-wing variant of the <br />Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. It was built in 1938 for $4,245 by local developer and builder V.J. Anderson. The home <br />was sold to Frank W. Wiesseman (1863-1930) and Ida C. Wiesseman (1872-1961), who resided on the property until 1948 <br />before moving to 2311 North Heliotrope Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman moved to Santa Ana with their two youngest children <br />from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at <br />114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years, 1910 and 1961, Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original <br />stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana. The two were active in the First Methodist Church, and Mrs. <br />Wiesseman was an active member of The Ebell Club. The family was notable in business and social circles in Santa Ana. In <br />1949 the property was sold to S. Walter Jonason, a retired Santa Ana resident originally from Virgina. Mr. Jonason lived on the <br />property until 1962 when it was sold to a P.G. Lynch. Since then, the Wiesseman-Jonason House has been occupied by various <br />owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2020. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) <br />B11.
