Also address Integrity) <br />The Chilson House was constructed by Honer and Herzig, both prolific builders in the region. The first owners of the property <br />were William E. and Louise Chilson, Their son, Don, drowned tragically in Oregon, and they came to Santa Ana to begin <br />again. Prior to living in this house, They were ranchers, but eventually sold their ranch and moved to 930 South Main Street. <br />While living on Main Street, Mr. Chilsontook legal action against The County. Santa Ana was paving a portion of Main Street <br />thatwas in their jurisdiction, and the County appropriated $10,000 to the City to allow them to do the paving work in the <br />County area of Main Street. Even though he stood to benefit from the paving, Mr. Chilson did not believe this was the proper <br />way to have this work completed. The case was later dropped. Eventually, Mr. Chilson held a position as Director of the <br />Bolsa Drainage District Board and bought stock in Wyana (a combination of Wyoming and Santa Ana) Oil Company. The oil <br />must have come in, because by the early 1930, the Chilson were members of the Santa Ana Country Club. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />611, Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and <br />*B12.
