Also address integrity) <br />The A. T. Bates Ranch House is historically significant as a substantially intact remnant from the early agricultural period in <br />Santa Ana and architecturally noteworthy as an example of a vernacular ranch house. The house is located on the former <br />seventy -acre A. T. Bates stock ranch, apparently purchased by Bates from N. O. Stafford, Columbus Tustin, and Samuel <br />Ross who in tum had acquired this section of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana from the Yorba family (Ramsey, page 120). <br />Bates had come west during the Gold Rush, and upon settling in Santa Ana around 1870, occupied an existing adobe home <br />on the ranch (Marsh, page 30). One of his early employees was Robert McFadden, another of the pioneers of Santa Ana as <br />well as of Newport Beach. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11.
