Also address integrity) The Markel House is architecturally significant as an intact example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. According to the original building permit, dated January 2, 1935, the residence and garage were constructed for Jules W. Markel and his wife Ada at a cost of $4,000. The Markel family owned and occupied the the home for nearly 25 years. In 1960, Ada Markel, widowed since 1952, sold the home to Robert and Alberta Schwarm, who used a Veteran's Administration loan to finance the purchase. The Schwarm's remained in the home for 14 years. In the 1970s, ownership shifted twice, when the Schwarms sold the property to Marco and Magdalena Gupfon, who in turn sold the property the next year to John and Jane Hooper. The Hoopers owned and occupied the property until 1984, after which point ownership shifted multiple times. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
