Albert and Orah Van Wagoner House
ca. 1940s

This bungalow is similar to those designed by Arthur Page Brown (1859–1896) in California during the early 1890s. Horizontal in its massing, this home retains its original woodwork, hardware, and lighting. Archways in the living room, dining room, and kitchen create an open floor plan characteristic of bungalow design, and the 23 windows on the main floor flood the interior with natural light. With the exception of an attic addition in the 1970s, this house looks much the same as it did when constructed in 1923. Clarence Leslie Naylor – cofounder of Naylor Auto – lived here in 1929 and bought the house in 1931. Albert and Orah Van Wagoner purchased the house in 1943 and lived there until Albert’s death in 1986. Longtime residents of the neighborhood still refer to the house as “The Van Wagoner House.” Catherine McIntyre Finlinson owned the home from 1986 to 2000 and planted most of the perennials in the flower garden.
