ADDRESS 920 North Louise Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92703 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1936 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Washington Square CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor -outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Clem-Koentopp House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as an early and very intact example of the Ranch House style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key' because it has a "distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the pre -World War II Ranch House style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1936 Property Type: Single -Family Residence Applicable Criteria: C13 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Clem-Koentopp House is architecturally significant as an early and characteristic example of Ranch House style. Built in 1936, the Clem-Koentopp House was designed by H.C. Nordstrom, a local Santa Ana architect and a "Renovize Man," associated with the Santa Ana Renovize campaign of the early 1930's. Mr. Nordstrom is associated with Stanley Clem, a local Santa Ana civic leader, vice-president, and sales manager of the Santa Ana Lumber Company. Along with Mr. Nordstrom, Stanley Clem is credited with designing and patenting the "Lockcraft" framing system, which at the time was a new system of wood building construction that combined, `qualities of safety, economy, beauty, and simplicity" (Santa Ana Register. July 2, 1936). The first known residents of the Clem-Koentopp House were Albert P. Koentopp and his wife Mildred Koentopp. Mr. Koentopp was a doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) and doctor of chiropractic philosophy (Ph.C.) who graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and practiced in the historic Otis Building on 101 West Fourth Street at Martyn X-Ray Chiropractors along fellow Palmer graduate and chiropractor C.A. Martyn, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Koentopp remained in the property until mid- 1940's when it was sold to James and Cecil A. Mahoney who remained in the house until 1987. According to city directories, the next resident was Edwin Smith (1988), who then sold it to Daniel Hopson in 2001. Robert and Diedre Moffat purchased the property in 2006 and sold it to the current property in 2017. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Significance (continued): *Date October 29, 2020 ❑x Continuation ❑ Update 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 1666, 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 Clem-Koentopp House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by Bristol Street, West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, and West Civic Center Drive. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War il. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Clem-Koentopp House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as an early and very intact example of the Ranch House style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it has a `distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the pre -World War 11 Ranch House style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Clem-Koentopp House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (brick, stucco, horizontal wood siding); cross - hipped roof design; asymmetrical and horizontal fagade massing, including front -facing hipped extensions ("wings'); wide open eaves with exposed rafters; primary entry and fenestration (casement, fixed, and bay windows); and exterior brick chimney. *1312.

DPR 523L MILLSACTAGREEMENT 920 North Louise Street Santa Ana, CA 92703 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 MILLS A CTAGREEMENT 920 North Louise Street Santa Ana, CA 92703 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. -2- CALIFORNIA ALL-PURPOSE • r • knotary public or other officer completing this certificate verifies only the identity of the individual who signed the document to which this certificate is attached, and not the truthfulness, accuracy, or validity of that document.
