French Park Historic District, Santa Ana, CA Orange County <br />United States Department of the Interior <br />National Parle Service <br />National Register of Historic Places <br />Continuation Sheet <br />Section number-----Z_ Page <br />Charles and Ella Fox were the first owners of this two-story Colonial <br />Revival house in 1905. After Charles died in the early 1920's, Ella <br />continued to live here until the mid-1940's. <br />714 N. Spurgeon St. Wood House Greek Revival ca. 1880/1894 <br />Wide shiplap siding, edged with corner boards, covers the exterior of <br />this two-story Greek Revival House. A side-facing gabled roof, punctuated <br />with matching pedimented dormers, tops the house. The front and side <br />windows feature peaked lintels, while the paired double-hung first floor <br />front windows have straight lintels. The symmetrical front facade is <br />centered with a front-facing gable-roofed portico supported by round <br />wooden columns. The paneled front door is ca. 1910 Craftsman style with <br />windows at the top, a shelf, and vertical panels below. The foundation is <br />clad in vertical carsiding. This house is a twin to the one on the south <br />(710). They can be traced back to this location in 1894, but are older. <br />When the building was rehabbed, the 4-over-4 windows in the second <br />floor were replaced with double-hung wood-sashed windows. The porch <br />and the front door appear to date back to about 1910. The rear third of the <br />building was added in the mid-1980's. <br />A. J. Wood, the proprietor of the Fashion Livery Stables in downtown <br />Santa Ana, and his wife, Mary, are the earliest known owners of the house <br />on this site (1901). By 1905 Mrs. Corance Lindsay moved in to stay for <br />several years. <br />715 N. Spurgeon St. Apartments 1980 N. C <br />The three-story stucco-clad apartment building at 715 N.

Aluminum-framed windows are used throughout the <br />building. It does not contribute to the historic district. <br />  <br />    <br />
