HRCA No. 2020-03, HRC No. 2020.02, HPPA No. 2020-03 October 29, 2020 Page 2 established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 95 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Barnhill -McDowell House, is located within the Floral Park neighborhood boundaries and has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The residence was built in 1925 by J.T. McQuinn. A majority of Floral Park was developed by prominent local builder Allison Honer who was credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell, continued developing the groves of Floral Park. In the early post World War 11 years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Rectangular in plan and clad in a light lace rough stucco finish, the house has a predominantly flat roof that is accented by a shaped parapet along all four elevations. Clay barrel tiles clad the parapet as coping and clad a side entry shed roof with distinctive pier supports along the south elevation, as well as a prominent moderate -pitch, front -gabled entry along the front elevation, also with distinctive pier supports. The front and side entries are further enhanced with a decorative clay the walkway and original entry doors both flanked by two sidelights —all exhibiting a Prairie School -style glazing pattern. Fenestration along the primary, northern, and southern elevation consist of Prairie School -style wood casement windows shaded by fabric awnings. A small bedroom, bath, and laundry room addition as well as a patio cover were attached to the rear of the residence, but due to their location and design they do not impact the integrity of the structure. There is a one-story detached garage at the rear of the property. Character -defining features of the Barnhill -McDowell blouse that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration, materials, and treatment (clay barrel tiling); massing and composition; distinctive porch piers, and doors and windows (Prairie School - style wood casement windows, where extant); and entry. The Barnhill -McDowell House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion No. 1, as a building with the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period," representative of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, in particular the flat -roofed, one-story, symmetrical bungalow variant of the style. Typical features of the Spanish Colonial Revival exhibited by the Barnhill -McDowell House include stucco cladding, barrel tile coping and roofing, prominent entry, and stepped parapet. Additionally, the house has 25C-93
