French Park Historic District, Santa Ana, CA Orange County United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 10 Page Z Boundary Justification: The proposed boundaries of the Historic French Park District are the same as the boundaries of the local Historic French Park District, with the exception of a section on Civic Center Drive, between N. Lacy St. and N. Garfield St., and a section on both sides of N. Spurgeon, between E. 9th St. and E. llth St., where the resources are not available. Basically, the boundaries outline the residential neighborhood called Historic French Park, excluding the commercial districts to the south and west, the large concen- tration of apartment buildings and condominiums to the north, and the industrial area to the east. The southern boundary, along Civic Center Drive East, is bordered, on the south side of the street, with three churches, one school, a post office, a condominium building, one house, the Ebell Club and parking lots.. The western boundary, along the back of the houses from 803-829 N. Garfield St., is next to an industrial/parking lot area. The line jogs to the middle of N. Garfield St. and includes all the houses on the west side (904-928). The east side of that block of N. Garfield is occupied by a large condominium. In order to not include the Western Medical Center and parking lots, the line runs west on Wellington St. and north on N. Lacy, to Washington St. The northern border, along the back of the houses on E. Washington St. separates the houses along E. Washington from the large apartment complexes of the neighborhood immediately to the north, called French Court.. The eastern border, runs along N. Bush to E. llth St., excluding two parking lots. It goes behind the non-contributing 10- year- old Fourth Court of Appeals building and a large condominium building, located on N. Spurgeon from E. 9th St. to E. 10th St. The boundary excludes a church on the corner of E. 8th St. and N. Spurgeon St. that has been altered. A new office building and a parking lot occupy the space on Civic Center Drive East, in the southwest corner of the district. Commercial buildings are located along Main St. one block away, to the west.
