It was built in 1924 <br />and the first known residents of what was addressed in 1925 as 2304 North Broadway were James K. Hermon and his wife <br />Effie S. Hermon. Hermon was the vice - president and manager of the Pacific Southwest Trust and Savings Bank. In 1930, <br />Claud H. and Daisy Jean Van Antwerp lived at what had become known as 2304 Park. Van Antwerp was the proprietor of <br />Van Antwerp's dry goods and ladies' ready -to -wear shop at 120 West Fourth Street. From the mid -1930s through 1960, the <br />Steele family occupied the home. Clifton Burton Steele was born in 1888 in Illinois and was earning his living as a shoe <br />salesman in Indiana at the time of his registration for World War I draft in 1917. By 1920, he had married his wife Clara and <br />by 1930 the family, including the first of three children, Clifton junior, had moved to Long Beach, California. In Santa Ana, <br />Steele owned Steele's Dress Shop, located at 223 West Fourth Street. He passed away in October 1961. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B 11.
