Although this is a major alteration, it is marginally in keeping with Spanish Colonial architecture. The ornate carved brackets which support the porticos on the north, south, and cast sides and the mullioned window pattern are important design elements. Red clay the was used on the porticos and on hoods above the windows on the cast side. The windows and doors are decorated at the top and bottom with narrow borders and square corners of glass, with a pair of panels filling in the arca between the borders. A pair of these windows flank the matching door, topped by a red -clay -tile clad portico, on the north side. The open porch is concrete, bordered with wrought 'iron railings. A recessed porch on the cast side is sheltered by a red -clay -tile -clad roof and bordered with a wrought iron railing. A trio of matching casement windows is located on the north sWo of the porch and a row of high-singlc-paned casement windows occupies the south side. Jalousied sidelights (not original) flank the door. Another red -clay -tile -clad portico, with matching brackets, shelters the door on the south facade. A small stucco -clad house, topped with a flat roof, is located behind the main house. The front door is accented with a large window in the center and flanked by an arched plate glass window on the north and a wrought iron gate, set in an arched stucco -clad frame, on the south side. A small stucco -clad garage, with a flat roof and plain wood garage doors, is located to the south of the small house. SIGNIFICANCE: Edmond Kiser acquired the property in 1924, when Pacific Street south of Main was opened. Ile was a builder by trade and probably built the house. Ile served as a volunteer fireman and, in 1927, he was elected to Tustin's first city council. William Otis, president of Santa Ana Finance Co., owned the property from 1926 to 1929, but he probably did not live there. Fred Sehwondeman owned the house from 1929 to 1946 and lived here into or through the thirties. IIc was a partner in the Tustin Coment Pipe Company and in charge of field and installation work. The company produced an average of 2500 lineal feet of pipe per day, and employed 30 to 60 then. A recognized authority on cement piping, Schwendeman supervised the installation of the Irvin Company's network of irrigation pipelines. Ile served as Commissioner of Health and Safety on Tustin's first City Council bots 1927 to 1937, and was a Volunteer Fireman, a member of the Knights of Pythias, and a rpcmber of the Lions Club. Subaaquenl owners were: Leslie W. Bennett (1946-52), a superintendent of William Iverson, oil distributors in Santa Ana; and Ildwin A. Veeh (1952-1965+), a science teacher at Tustin high School. Note: The address given in the directories was 600 W. Main. The house was given a new roof in 1987. Instead of replacing the flat roof (surrounded by a tile -topped parapet), a pitched Ilio roof was added, which changed the looks of the house considerably. The major architectural alteration to the roof is not compatible with the original character of the house; for this reason the house is categorized as a C. However, it is significant for iia associations with Edmund Kiser, Fred Schwendeman and Edwin Vech. 410 PACIFIC STREET See following pages for property information Page 1 of 2 BL Historic Name: B2.
