ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Craftsman/Bungalow
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building
traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers.
Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of
the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out
to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style,
Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep
overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary
material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned
wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Rose House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman/Bungalow style; Criterion 2, as a work from notable
architect, Frederick Eley, whose work influenced architectural development in Santa Ana and Orange County; and
Criterion 4, for its contribution to the historic French Park neighborhood. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Key" for its "distinctive architectural style and quality," embodying the massing, materials, and detailing of Craftsman
design; for its "association with a significant period in the history of the city', namely the development of French Park as
the premier residential district of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Santa Ana; and "association with a
significant person" and notable architect, Frederick Eley (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The Rose House is a two-story, Craftsman style, single-family residence, capped with a low-pitched side -facing gabled roof
with wide eaves and accented with triangular knee braces. Vertical boards with vertical cutouts ending in circles add a Swiss
touch to the peaks of the gables. Wood shingles cover the second floor, while the lower story is clad in stucco. The fagade is
symmetrical in composition. Bands of five casement windows, each featuring four lights delineated by a grid of muntins in the
top third, are located to the north and south of the central entry on the first floor. Pairs of six -over -one double -hung windows
are used on the side bays of the second floor while a pair of smaller casement windows occupies the central bay on this
level. Upper story windows are topped by heavy, tapered lintels composed of shingles. The upper stories of the side
elevations are similarly fenestrated. A single -storied entryporch features a broadly pitched, front gable roof that rests on pairs
of exposed beams and exposed rafters. Pairs of wood posts, connected by slant -cut beam "capitals," support the porch roof.
The front door is a broadly proportioned wood slab, pierced by three vertical windows, and recently restored to its natural
finish. A similar porch is attached to the north elevation and a slanted bay window is located on the south elevation. The most
visible alteration to the house, which has recently been sensitively rehabilitated, is the non -original texture of the stucco
cladding covering the first floor. Building permits also document an interior remodel to the first and second floor; conversion of
the existing rear porch into a laundry room with new door, door side lights and one new hung window; and replacement of
non -original wood shingles; replacement of a second -story window. Other than the noted changes, the house appears intact
and is in good condition.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural content as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Rose House is historically significant for its contribution to the National Register of Historic Places -listed French Park
historic district and architecturally significant for its association with architect Frederick Eley. It is a good example of Eley's
work in the Craftsman style, with its low-pitched side -gabled roof treatment, strongly horizontal lines, and use of wood
reminiscent of Swiss and Japanese architectural traditions. Eley has been labeled, with reason, Santa Ana's premier historic
architect. He was born and educated in England, migrated to Canada, and eventually landed in Santa Ana in 1911. He
opened an architectural practice and within two years had built a substantial portfolio of architectural commissions throughout
Orange County that included several schools, numerous residences, and a variety of commercial and institutional buildings.
He.proved himself to be master of many architectural oeuvres, including the Craftsman style, which he demonstrated in his
design for this house.
The Rose House was in 1911 and the first known resident was Sarah E. Bloodgood. Ms. Bloodgood originally purchased the
property from W.H. Spurgeon Realty Company and ultimately built the Rose House for the amount of $3,000. After a twelve
month illness Ms. Bloodgood passed in 1912. In 1915, Mr and Mrs. W.S. Rose purchased the residence for $3,500. Little is
known about Mr. W.S. Rose. However, Mrs. W.S. Rose was president of the Santa Ana Women's Christian Temperance
Union (W. C. T. U.) and hosted a number of community organizations and social events. Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Rose continued to
live in the residence until at least 1963. According to city directories, the next resident was Thomas B. Gorman, who resided
at the property until 2015.

*B10. 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 Rose House is located in French Park, a neighborhood northeast of downtown Santa Ana bounded by Bush Street,
Washington Street, Garfield Street, and Civic Center Drive. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth
century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian
era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree -lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the
neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the
1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a
"Who's Who" of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others
active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the "Nob Hill" of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted
into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the
properties redeveloped with multi -family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to
the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic
Places in 1999.
The Rose House, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park
Historic District and is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources, qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties under mulitiple criteria: Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the
Craftsman/Bungalow style; Criterion 2, as a work from notable architect, Frederick Eley, whose work influenced architectural
development in Santa Ana and Orange County, and Criterion 4, for its contribution to the historic French Park
neighborhood. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" for its "distinctive architectural style and quality,"
embodying the massing, materials, and detailing of Craftsman design; for its `association with a significant period in the
history of the city" namely the development of French Park as the premier residential district of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries in Santa Ana; and "association with a significant person" and notable architect, Frederick Eley.
Character -defining features of the Rose House include (but may not be limited to): low-pitched side -facing gabled roof with
wide eaves; exposed structural elements such as beams and rafter tails; triangular knee braces; vertical boards with vertical
cutouts ending in circles and adding a Swiss touch to the peaks of the gables; wood shingles covering the second floor
facade; ribbons of casement windows; six -over -one double -hung windows; single -storied entry porch featuring pairs of
exposed beam ends and wide eaves with exposed rafter tails; pairs of wood columns, with slant -cut beams at the top and
which support the porch roof, north porch; and south bay window.

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
structures.
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.
