French Park Historic District, Santa Ana, CA Orange County P-M) wm. 001$ United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page with windows at the top, a shelf, and vertical panels below. The foundation is clad in vertical carsiding. This house is a twin to the one on the north. They can be traced back to this location in 1894, when they were moved here from an unknown location. When the building was rehabbed, the 4-over-4 windows in the second floor were replaced with double-hung wood-sashed windows. The porch and the front door appear to date back to about 1910. The rear third of the building was added in the mid-1980's. Round columns were restored to the portico because the 1910 era columns had been replaced with wrought iron in the 1960 s. The first known residents in this location were William and Nina Bullard, listed here in 1901. He was the manager of the Shoe Dept, at the Reinhaus Bros. Dept. Store. Charles Kelley, a druggist who managed the Rowley Drug Company, and his wife, Louise, owned the house from 1907 to 1923. 713 N. Spurgeon Si. Fox House Colonial Revival 1905 Two stories high, and topped with a hipped roof with matching dormers in the west and south facades, the Fox House is of a style sometimes called Foursquare. Paired carved brackets and a plain frieze accent the roof line. Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior. The bottom of the second story flairs out at the bottom, above the beltcourse which runs between the two floors. A pedimented gable, centered in the single-story hip-roofed front porch, is accented with paired, carved brackets. Four round columns, connected with railings made of closely- spaced square balusters, support the roof. Double-hung windows are used throughout the house, except for the plate glass window with double-hung sidelights and a transom located on the porch. The original paneled front door was flanked by sidelights which have been replaced with wood and a window that is not original. A door and wooden stairway have been added to the north side. A slanted bay window is centered in the first floor of the south side, facing Civic Center Drive East.
