ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial
celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Beginning in the second half of the
1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War Il, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism
of the previous balf-century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds;
pseudo-quoined corners; multi -paned casement or double -hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or
octagonal accent windows, and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. Ahipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency
references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and
normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period—wood,
brick, stone, and sutcco—although stacco came to be used more frequently than before (McAlester, 320-539).
S121MARY/CONCLUSION:
The Price Flouse qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a stricture with the
distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, the Colonial Revival. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the late Colonial Revival (Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2).

William A, Rohrbacher, the builder of the house, was a well-known Santa Ana resident. A resident of Floral Park,
Rohrbacher was an active contractor from 1920, when he moved to Santa Ana, until he retired in the late 1960s, He was
the builder of many prominent buildings, including the Bowers Museum, Tehachapi Prison, Carr Intermediate School,
Phillips Hall at Santa Ana College, and Jonas Salk School in Anaheim. Rohrbacher passed away In 1974 at the ape of 93.
Building permits indicate that from the m1d�1970s through 1999, at least, Dr. Richard Preston was the owner and occupant
of the house. According to an undated newspaper article in the Santa Ana History Room collection, Preston "is believed to
be, the first hobbyist anywhere to construct buildings in bottles." Unlike ship models that were actually created outside
bottles, Preston actually put his miniatures together inside whisky, wine, or cognac bottles. He built a completely detailed
model of the First Baptist Church, including stained Mass windows, at a scale of 1/3200 of an inch to a foot He also bulft a
model of 2009 North Baker Street at a scale of 1116 of an inch to afoot, a project that took him six months„
Store the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Price House Is located has been known as
West Floral Park, Located northwest of the historic core of Santa Ana, this residential neighborhood is bounded by Santiago
Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the
west, Prior to World War 11, the area was agricultural, divided into a few large [andholdings devoted primarily to the
cultivation of oranges, walnuts, and apricots, Traces of this early era remain in the form of two original farmhouses (1911
Westwood Street and 2402 North Flower Street) and in a few large parcels along Flower Street During the 1920s and
1930s a handful of houses ware erected on Baker, Bristol, and Flower Streets, and two municipal facilities, the City Water
Works pumping plant and the City/County Animal Shelter, were built at 2315 and 2321 North Bristol Street,
West Floral Park acquired its current Identify as a neighborhood of expansive, California Ranch Style houses in the years
following 1947. Development started ,slowly, with around two dozen homes being built on Baker, Olive, Towner, and
Westwood Streets between 1947 and 1950. Construction boomed during the 1950s and 1960s. One builder in particular
has come to be associated with Wast Floral Park: Roy Rodney Russell. The ,son of Roy Roscoe Russell, who developed
much of Victoria Avenue in Floral Park, Reay Rodney Russell formed a partnership with his father, called Roy Russell and
Son, Builders, In 1945. They began building homes on speculation, usually around fifteen or twenty each year. Following
the death of his father in 1965, Roy Rodney Russell continued to build, mostly custom homes and many of them in West
Floral Park. He retired in 1993
The Price House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a structure with
the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, the Colonial Revival. It displays the hipped roof massing, near
symmetry, traditional palette of materials, portico, and fenestration that exemplifies the style, but with the stylized approach
that is associated with the Colonial Revival from about 1937 onwards. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Key" because It "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the late Colonial Revival, Character-
defining exterior features of the Price House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: original materials
and finishes where extant (wood cladding, brick chimneys); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
strictures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
