In 1910 Miss Gardner, a teacher at Delano School, moved in. From 1913 to 1915 Thomas and Laurence Neely, owners of the Santa Ana Electrical Company, lived here. Millard F. Doig, retired, was here in the 1920s. This house was the first of the three (206 E. Washington and 1120 N. Bush) on this property to be constructed. It appears all three were owned by one person until about 1980, when they were purchased by three individual owners. From the 1940's until 1980 the properties were owned by Claude and Elizabeth Read. Claude was an assistant mortician at Winbigler's Mortuary and Elizabeth taught fourth grade in the Santa Ana School system. 206 E.

Tapered wood posts, accented with triangular brackets and resting on river rock-clad elephantine piers, support the portico. The porch foundation and a pier at the end of the open porch located to the east of the portico are also made of river rock. A plain wood railing runs across the front of the open porch. The recessed front porch features the a french-style front door and multi-paned sidelights. Both casement and double-hung windows are used throughout the house. The Craftsman Bungalow at 206 was built in 1909 by James Morrow. He was a collector for the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Between 1911 and 1915 Carl and Neva Mansur lived here.
