A low-pitched Craftsman -style bellcast gabled roof, with gables facing in all four directions, caps this single -storied bungalow.
Matching double gables face each side, creating 6 gables in all. The eaves are ornamented with rows of single exposed beam ends
and the -gable faces consist of sections of louvered venting alternating with wood spacers. Specialty siding, accented at the
bottom with a flared skirt, covers the exterior. The front porch is sheltered by a pergola supported by large stucco -clad
vine -covered columns. A row of front -facing beams with carved ends runs across the top of the pergola. Low stucco -clad walls
extend from each side of the pergola, creating open porches, accented at the comers with piers and urns. Large plate glass
windows, flanked by double -hung sidelights, are located on each side of the Craftsman -style front door. A row of three tall,
narrow beveled glass panels forms a stairstep pattern near the top of the door. Double -hung windows are used throughout the rest
of the house. A wing .added to the west side matches the original house. A matching garage is located in the rear. This is one
of a row of four Craftsman Bungalows and has some good Craftsman design elements, including the 6 -gabled bellcast roof, the
pergola and the flared foundation design.
A contractor/builder, Guy Bolyard reportedly built the house about 1914 and acquired title to it in 1921. Albert Thorman (owner
1928 to 1943) worked for the California Division of Highways and was an orchardist. His wife. Jeane, was the secretary to the
superintendent of the elementary schools (1945 to 1963) and had an elementary school named after her. Ralph Mitchell (owner
from 1943-1948) was a major orchardist in the area, raising walnuts, then valencia oranges. He served on the Board of Valencia
Growers. The four Craftsman Bungalows on this block are major contributors to the Tustin Cultural Resources District and to the
historic strectscape of Main Street. In addition, the house is significant for its association with Guy Bolyard, the Thormans, and
the Mitchells.
