Also address integrity) <br />The McBride House is architecturally signirrcant as an example of a Proto-Ranch House, illustrating the transition from the <br />traditional styles of the 1920s and 1930s to the dominant house type of the post World War 11 suburbs, the California Ranch <br />House. According to the original building permit, dated May 8, 1936, the residence and garage were constructed for H.R. <br />McBride at a cost of $6,500 by O. F. Fowler. When the house first appears in city directories in 1937, Howard McBride, <br />president of Citrus Juice and Flavor Co, and his wife Alys were listed as residents. By 1947, the property was the address of <br />John R. Price, associate branch manager for Dean Witter & Co., and his wife Anne. Subsequently, in 1962, Lawrence W. <br />Bemis, salesman for R.A. Miller, and his wife Gladys resided in the old McBride residence. Mr. Bemis is listed as a resident <br />until the mid-1960s. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
