Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1951 Property Type: Single-family residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The H.A. Petersen House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Contemporary Modern-style house in Santa Ana. The property is currently a contributor to the Floral Park Historic District which is roughly bounded by Santiago Creek, 17th Street, Broadway, and Flower Street. The district includes 576 contributing buildings and 97 non-contributing buildings that are single-family or multi-family residential. Assessor data indicates the property was built in 1951 by contractor Douglas W. Edwards for $15,000. The six-room residence and garage were constructed for Homer A. Petersen. Homer Petersen and his wife Grace are listed in the 1954 Santa Ana City Directory, and Petersen was listed as an internal revenue agent (Ancestry.com 2011a). The Petersen family owned and occupied 2402 North Riverside Drive until Dr. Paul Lambert and his wife Jean L. Lambert purchased the property in 1955 (The Register 1955). Dr. Lambert was a physician and general practitioner in Santa Ana and served in the Korean War. According to city building permits, in 1956, Anthony Bros Inc. constructed a swimming pool for Paul Lambert, though the property does not currently have a swimming pool and black and white aerials make it difficult to confirm a swimming pool was constructed in the narrow backyard.
