The Vineyard Heritage Association draws its name and identity from the Los Angeles Vineyard Society which, with the
determination and perseverance of 50 German families, founded and settled Anaheim in 1857. Most of the homes in this
neighborhood were built between 1920 and 1940, although a few homes built before or after these dates are sprinkled throughout
the area. The predominant architectural styles of our earlier homes are English Tutor, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean and
Mission Revival, Provincial Revival, and California Bungalows.

This house has most of the features one would find in a typical 1920's
bungalow: front porch, large overhanging eaves, built-ins and fir woodwork
throughout. The rear half of the home was extended in the 1930's to include a
small dining room and laundry room. The kitchen and bathroom were also
remodeled at this time. The bathroom received a beautiful art deco tile
treatment, making this room one of the highlights of the house. An uncommon
feature is a finished basement added underneath the 1930's addition. Most
houses built in California at this time had only small unfinished cellars.
