It has since been adapted for use as a restaurant.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is associated with Charles Henry Slocum, a strong community leader who contributed to the agricultural, commercial and community growth of Fair Oaks. It is also one of only a few remaining early twentieth-century residential structures in a rapidly urbanizing part of the Sacramento area. It is described as the last remaining structure linked with Slocum.","narrative":"Built in 1925 by craftsman Arthur Broadley, this redwood-sided bungalow on California Avenue in Fair Oaks was home to Charles Henry and Sara Ann Slocum and their five children. Its design resembles a plan in a 1923 catalogue of distinctive homes, adapted by Broadley with Tuscan columns at the entry portico and a Federal-style door and transom. The house has been restored and now serves as a restaurant, with two matching wings added and mature oak trees retained. Original siding, windows, chimney, dormer, fireplace, trim, wallpaper and dining room china cabinets remain. Slocum arrived in Fair Oaks in 1896 when it was a fruit-growing colony. He ran a general store and the first lumber yard, founded the Fair Oaks Bank in 1912, served the local fruit company, and donated land for the first library. The house is the last remaining structure tied to him and one of few early twentieth-century residences left in the area.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1925)","architect_builder":"Arthur Broadley (builder)","architectural_style":"Colonial Bungalow; California bungalow with classical elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Restored and adapted for use as a restaurant, with two compatible wings added; original siding, windows, chimney, dormer, fireplace and interior trim preserved.
