Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Gregg House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. This neighborhood is northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War 11 years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Gregg House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Neoclassical style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it 'has a distinctive architectural style and quality" representing the Neoclassical style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character defining features of the Gregg House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (wood siding and columns); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and composition; fenestration (multi -pane hung windows where extant); and architectural detailing. *B12.

The planners of the exposition insisted on classical -themed architecture, and the photographs from the Exposition became models for architects across the country. Drawing primarily from Roman and Greek classical architectural motifs, neoclassical architecture emphasizes symmetry, porches with classical support columns, and the use of classical detailing including lintels, pediments, colonnades, arches, and vaults. Neoclassical design also borrowed elements from earlier American styles including Georgian, Federal, and Greek revival. Neoclassical residential architecture experienced two waves of popularity, one from 1900 to 1920, and another from around 1925-1950s. Neoclassical buildings typically have a front fagade dominated by a full -height entry porch supported by two-story classical columns. Facades typically exhibit symmetry and balance. Other common features include elaborated doorways that incorporated Federal, Greek Revival, or Georgian elements; centered entrances; detailed cornices; rectangular, double -hung windows; roof -line balustrades (McAlester 434-446). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Gregg House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Neoclassical style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" representing the Neoclassical style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character defining features of the Gregg House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (wood siding and columns); roof configuration, materials, and treatment ; massing and composition; fenestration (multi -pane hung windows where extant); and architectural detailing.
