Walter Sidney Orme, Architect
Streamline Moderne Duplex, 1937
803 N Mansfield, Los Angeles, CA,
Streamlining is the first new and uniquely American approach that the public could associate with progress and a better life," declared Henry Dreyfuss, designer of the famous 20th Century Limited streamlined locomotive that linked Los Angeles and New York in the late 1930s. Architect Walter Sidney Orme's nod to both Streamline Moderne and Art Deco is evident in this 1937 duplex. Orme makes a strong statement here with aerodynamic exterior curves, long horizontal lines and grooves in the white stucco banding and eyebrow black trim, glass brick, and porthole windows in front and rear doors. The interior's expressive art deco detailing includes zigzag tile patterns, original built-in shelving nooks and period lighting fixtures. Each unit has approximately 1600 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, expansive kitchen, lower unit with formal dining room and upper unit with open plan eating area, and a fireplace in the main living space. bedrooms: 3
baths: 2
garage: O

Professional History
Résumé
Architectural Draftsman, Missouri-Kansas-Texas (M,K and T) Railway, Parsons, KS, c. 1915-1917. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation:
Registration State: Kansas; Registration County: Labette County, Source Information: U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917- 1918 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2005, accessed 11/17/2020.) In 1916, R.L. Polk and Company's Parsons, Kansas, City Directory, 1916, (p. 220), indicated that two other Ormes living in Parsons also worked for the M, K and T Line: Alva B.
Orme, a blacksmith, and Lellan E. Orme, a helper.
Principal, W. Sidney Orme, Architect, Parsons, KS, 1918. He had an office in Room #322 of the Strasburger Building in Parsons in 1918. By 1920, he had an office above the F .W. Woolworth Store at 1818 Main Street, in Parsons. (See R.L. Polk and Company’s Parsons City Directory, 1920, p. 204.)
Principal, W.S. Orme, Architect, Los Angeles, CA, 1929. In 1929, Orme maintained his office at 405 South Hill Street, Room #701. (See Los Angeles Directory Company’s Los Angeles City Directory, 1929, p. 2338.)
Employee, City of Los Angeles, Department of Water and Power, Los Angeles, CA, 1942. He worked at 315 South Broadway, Room #532 in 1942. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation: The National Archives at St.
Louis; St. Louis, Missouri; World War II Draft Cards (4th Registration) for the State of California; Record Group Title: Records of the Selective Service System; Record Group Number: 147, accessed 11/17/2020.)

Personal
Relocation
Walter Sidney Orme was born in Osage County, KS, on 08/06/1887. His World War I draft card indicated that he had been born in "Melvin," KS, although this was likely transcribed wrong by his interviewer, as Melvern, KS, is more likely. His World War II draft card listed his birthplace as Quenemo, KS, also in Osage County, about 11 miles northeast of Malvern.
He resided at 1809 Crawford Avenue in Parsons in 1911. (See R.L. Polk and Company’s Parsons City Directory, 1911, p. 294.)
He and his wife lived at 418 North 28th Street in Parsons, KS, in 1916 and 1917. (See R.L. Polk and Company's Parsons, Kansas, City Directory, 1916, p. 220 and Ancestry.com, Source Citation: Registration State: Kansas; Registration County: Labette County, Source Information: U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2005, accessed 11/17/2020.)
In 1920, W. Sidney and Carrie Orme resided at 2807 Stevens Avenue in Parsons. (See R.L. Polk and Company’s Parsons City Directory, 1920, p. 204.)
He and his wife, Carrie, resided in a dwelling at 73 ½ North Catalina Avenue in Pasadena, CA, according to the 1930 US Census. At this time, there were two other Ormes living nearby, including Archie D.
Orme, Sr., (born c. 1892 in KS) and his family at 93 North Catalina, and Sidney and Ada Orme at 87 ½ North Catalina. The Ormes were well-to- do. Archie worked as a lawyer in 1930, and had a house worth $15,000.
The elder Sidney was retired, and his house had an estimated value of $80,000, much higher than average for Los Angeles, and Sidney W.
Orme’s house also had the same value of $80,000. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation: Year: 1930; Census Place: Pasadena, Los Angeles, California; Page: 2B; Enumeration District: 1242; FHL microfilm:
2339904, accessed 11/17/2020.)
On 04/25/1942, when he filled out his World War II draft registration card, Orme lived with his wife at 1126 South Lake Street, Los Angeles, CA. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation: The National Archives at St.
Louis; St. Louis, Missouri; World War II Draft Cards (4th Registration) for the State of California; Record Group Title: Records of the Selective Service System; Record Group Number: 147, accessed 11/17/2020.) 3/16/22, 4:35 PMPCAD - Walter Sidney Orme

He died in Los Angeles County, CA, at the age of 62. He was buried (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47543365/walter-sidney-orme) at the Grand View Memorial Park and Crrematory in Glendale, CA.

Biographical Notes
As noted on his World War II draft registration card, Orme was Caucasian with a dark complexion, and, at age 54, stood 5-feet, 7-and- ¼-inches tall, and weighed 155 pounds. He had black eyes and gray hair, and had had an appendectomy by 1942. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation: The National Archives at St. Louis; St. Louis, Missouri; World War II Draft Cards (4th Registration) for the State of California; Record Group Title: Records of the Selective Service System; Record Group Number: 147, accessed 11/17/2020.)
Another "Sidney Orme" lived in Pasadena, CA, during the 1910s and worked as a clerk for two pakage delivery companies, confusing identification of the architect.
