Also address integrity) The W.P. Heninger House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the revival styled homes built along the streets of the Washington Square neighborhood during its most characteristic phase of development. According to City building permit records, the house and garage were built for William P. Heninger of the Heninger family that founded Heninger Park in Santa Ana. William and his wife Cleora originally lived at 1631 West Third Street, and he was employed as a carpenter. While the home was still under construction, they moved to 714 North Ross Street with relatives Mildred and Mary Heninger. The home was built as a speculative venture. The entire household rented the Ross Street house from Cleophus and Anna Sparks, a salesman with Sam Stein's Stationary Store on Fourth Street. The Heningers never moved into this Louise Street residence as the first known residents were Cleophus and Anna Sparks in 1935. By 1936, Van L. and Edna Brown moved into the home while conducting business at 103 West Third Street as Hawks-Brown Real Estate and Insurance Company. Mr. Brown was a 50 year member of the local Masonic Lodge, a Shriner, and Rotary Club member. He was interred at Fairhaven Memorial Paris with Smith and Tuthill Mortuary in charge of the burial. His wife, Edna was a secretary before marriage. Mrs. Edna Brown lived in the residence until 1947 when Mr. M.R. Duncan took occupancy. By 1956, Arthur (Arth) and Flossie Confer owned the home. Arth was a well-loved custodian at Wilson High School. The home changed hands a few times until Mr. Anthony Peter Michaliski took residence in 2009. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
