Also address integrity) The Tubbs -Schatz House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the English Revival style. This house and detached garage were originally constructed in 1929, and were valued at approximately $6,000, according to the original building permit. At the time of construction, the property owner was listed as C. 0. Smith and his wife Florence L. Smith, although it is unclear if the Smiths ever lived in the building. The Smith's deeded the property to W. L. Tubbs and Cynthia Tubbs a few months after the original building permit was issued in 1929. W. Lester Tubbs was a businessman who worked for the Orange County Trust and Savings Bank. Deeds indicate that the Tubbs sold the house to Harry D. Riley and Alice E. Riley in March 1932. Harry D. Riley served as supervisor of the aro district of Orange County from 1937 to 1941, and was also Chairman of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. In 1932, not long after purchasing the property, Harry D. Riley filed for bankruptcy. As one of Riley's assets, the property at 2031 North Ross Street briefly came back under the ownership of W. Lester Tubbs. Tubbs then sold the property later that year to Ernest C. Stump, who was a salesman. According to city directories and building permits, the next recorded owner and occupant is Jerome E. Braden, who was a buyer, and purchased the property in 1938. Braden sold the property to Frank and Irma K. Schatz in 1963. In 1980, the listed occupant is L. Schatz. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)
