NOTE: There is a newspaper article circa 1917, though, which mentions the house, and another article with Carlos Levy saying it was built in 1918. But then, a telephone directory lists Frank H. Walker and his wife living there in 1916 and an Oxnard map from 1912 shows it existing. For now, I’m going to name it the Frank H. Walker House. (See Below)
