Also address integrity) <br />The Dixon-Heemstra House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Craftsman style house in Santa Ana. The <br />original building permit is dated June 1923, which indicates it was built as a single family residence and garage for owner and <br />homebuilder W.H. Dixon for $4,000. Dixon, affiliated with W.H. Dixon and Son, was a local contractor and builder in Santa <br />Ana and greater Orange County (Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1930). The original architect is unknown. In 1923, <br />newspapers advertised the sale of the subject property as “Dixon’s Durable Dwelling” built in the “exclusive highly restricted <br />Strong tract” (Santa Ana Register, October 25, 1923). City directories note that the property was vacant in 1924; however, <br />from 1925 to 1929 Benjamin Heemstra is listed as the building's occupant. From 1930 to 1931, P.H. Budd is the known <br />occupant, who contributed to Orange County’s first engineer report by Engineer Thomas Means in 1931. Budd later became <br />an engineer for the Orange County flood-control district in 1934 and was ultimately appointed as the Orange County flood- <br />control engineer in 1952 (Santa Ana Register, December 28, 1952).
