View of front entry to what has been called the O.D. Harris house at 15 E. Orange Avenue (now, Colorado Boulevard). Title Insurance & Trust checked the heritage for us and found the building probably was built in late 1880's for Southern California Floral Farm & Perfumery Co. Building stood until 1962. As of 1980, an apartment building was on that location.
This is home built by Aloyosius Mauch for his family at their ranch at Palm Avenue and Holly Avenue in Arcadia.

Richard Mauch of the Arcadia Police Dept.

Word persists from people in the area, that house was built by a former Cabinet Officer.

(In article written by Claire Charles and numbered #4 in Arcadia-Peacocks, on p.23, top of page, she mentions Annie Mellon as living in this house.) Address if 330 E. Duarte Rd. Built c. 1913.
