Tudor Revival in style, the single -storied residence at 355 is clad in the original stucco with rounded edges at the windows and
doors. The steeply -pitched T-shaped roof features a double gable in the front facade, which curves down toward the west side,
forming a wingwall with an arched opening. A louvered vent is centered above a pair of double -hung windows in the front facade.
An opening with a peaked top, located to the east of the wing, leads to the covered entry. The front door is accented with a small
window at eye level. A plate glass window. with double -hung sidelights occupies the space to the east of the entry. Double -hung
windows are used throughout the house. A stucco -clad chimney graces the east side, and recessed porch is located in the center.
The front -facing gabled garage in the rear is stucco -clad and matches the house.
,SIGNIFICANCE:
!''Christopher and Ella Donelson built this house in 1922, after purchasing the land from Roy Russell and Thomas Roland, Russell's
I'office manager. A year later Paul and Ivy Bunkelman purchased the home and stayed there until 1941, when he died. He was a
driver for the San Joaquin Fruit and Investment Company during the 1920's, and worked on the Irvine Ranch during the 1930's.
j 'Samuel and Joy Pennington purchased the home in the early 1940's. He was a clerk at the Robinson Beauty Supply Company in
t '1945 and had become a clerk for the Cityof Tustin by 1956. They continued to live in the house for several years. Although this
ouse is probably not eligible for the National Register on its own, it does contribute to the Tustin. Cultural Resources District and
� is an interesting example of Tudor Revival architecture, a fairly rare style 'in Tustin.
