<br />The Buchheim House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch -style house in Santa Ana. The original
<br />building permit is dated May 26, 1956, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner Robert F.
<br />Buchhelm for $25,000. The contractor was Hugh M. Neighbour, Jr. Although available sources do not confirm the property's
<br />designer, it is possible Neighbour, a builder since 1946, designed the property as he was known to have included the design
<br />of custom houses as part of his building practice between the late 1940s and early 1960s (Santa Ana Register August 21,
<br />1946, December 11, 1948, The Register July 4, 1954, August 30, 1959, December 16, 1962). A review of City of Santa Ana
<br />property ownership data shows that Buchheim family, including Robert and Marion K. Buchheim, owned the property until
<br />2009, when it was acquired by Charles and Molly Martin, the property's current owners.
