Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The Enlow House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house in Santa Ana. Assessor <br />data indicates it was built in 1927. The original architect is unknown, but the original contractor was Sid Babcock, according <br />to an article published in The Register on March 30, 1927 (The Register 1927a). The article described the residence as <br />"stucco residence and garage, composition shingle roof; 2556 Valencia Street, $4000. Sid Babcock, contractor." The earliest <br />known occupant is Marie Louise Enlow who purchased the property by March 1927, and her husband, Edmund O. Enlow, <br />according to an article published in The Register on March 17, 1927 (The Register 1927b). Enlow was the owner of the <br />Madame Marie Lousie milliner shop in Santa Ana (The Register 1922; Ancestry.com 2011a). The single-family residence and <br />garage are pictured in a 1930 aerial of Santa Ana (County of Orange Historical Aerial Imagery 2025). The Enlows occupied <br />the residence until 1932 followed by Mr. and Mrs. Willard J. Lake in 1933 (Ancestry.com 2011b; The Register 1933). (See <br />Continuation Sheet 3). <br /> <br /> <br />B11.
