Architectural History Evaluation <br /> 2.5 Project Area History <br /> Historic aerial images dating back to 1931 show that the residential portion of the Project Area was <br /> originally used for citrus groves and was bisected by Fairview Street, which dates to c. 1890. Located west <br /> of the Santa Ana River, the Project Area was part of a larger agricultural citrus-growing region in western <br /> Santa Ana that differs from the more urbanized parts of the city to the east of the Santa Ana River. After <br /> World War II, the citrus groves gave way to housing tracts and commercial development; by the early <br /> 1970s, most groves no longer remained. <br /> Developers built the four residences within the Project Area (2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry <br /> Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, 2502 Strawberry Lane) concurrently in 1950 as part of larger tract <br /> developments. 2501 Huckleberry Road and 2502 Huckleberry Road are part of single-family housing tract <br /> #1369, which consists of 41 parcels; 2501 Strawberry Lane and 2502 Strawberry Lane are part of single- <br /> family housing tract#1351, which consists of 54 parcels. Despite being two different tracts, #1369 and <br /> #1351 were built at the same time, have similar lot size, and have similar Minimal Traditional architectural <br /> style. Although the two tracts have remained in their 1950 layout, the area surrounding them has changed <br /> from citrus groves to tract developments. <br /> 3.0 METHODS <br /> 3.1 Personnel Qualifications <br /> Principal Investigator and Senior Architectural Historian Jeremy Adams, who meets the Secretary of the <br /> Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for Architectural History and History, supervised all phases <br /> of ECORP's architectural history evaluation.
