The district represents a cohesive collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth century residential buildings centered on the local French Park triangle. The residences illustrate well-preserved local examples of Victorian Queen Anne and Eastlake architectural styles, Neoclassical Revival building forms, and a host of twentieth century Colonial Revival, Period Revival, and Craftsman construction types. The district's overall layout and general pattern of development effectively illustrate the processes that typified the platting, speculative development and subsequent growth of areas within the community of Santa Ana during the historic period. The failure of the original platters to realize their original commercial development plans and the subsequent development of the area as a premiere residential neighborhood for influential local citizens illustrates important (and often enigmatic) aspects of nineteenth and early twentieth century community development and planning.
