English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic sloped roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the faQade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. A "storybook" variant of the English Revival, characterized by a deliberately eclectic and picturesque quality often focused on the roof treatment, found a particularly receptive audience in southern California. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Wahl House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period." Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it `contributes to the overall character and history" of Wilshire Square and "is a good example of period architecture" as an example of the Storybook variant of the English Revival style (Municipal Code Section 30-2.2)."

The roof treatment, incorporating front and side gables and a turret over an octagonal bay, is the focal point of the design. A weathervane perched on the peak of the turret provides an additional element of whimsy. Stucco covers the exterior walls. Fenestration includes a tripartite window with a Tudor -arched head that is centered below the front gable on the north section of the fagade and a band of double hung sash windows in the bay below the turret on the south end of the fagade. The entry is recessed within a south -facing arch that opens onto a small patio created by the projections of the front -gabled and turreted wings. Other details, including a rear garage, are difficult to see due to the dense vegetation. Building permit records suggest that the house is substantially unaltered. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Wahl House is architecturally significant as an unusually picturesque example of the Storybook variant of the English Revival style, one of several variations on this theme in the Wilshire Square neighborhood. Sometimes labeled by their builders as "artistic homes,"these houses often featured an eclectic blend of medieval English and Norman French traditions. This seven -room house was built for Fred C. Wahl, a plumber with the Russell Plumbing Company, in 1930 for an estimated cost of $6,000. Included in the 1989 Wilshire Square Home Tour, the interior of the house features original finishes, hardware, lighting, and built-ins. The cottage garden has been pictured in Sunset magazine and other publications. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and *612.

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 1869, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods initially 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 Wahl House is located in Wilshire Square, a neighborhood located south of the city center and bounded by West McFadden Avenue on the north, West Edinger Avenue on the south, South Main Street on the east, and South Flower Street on the west. This area remained agricultural in use into the early twentieth century, the landscape dotted with walnut and orange groves. The 1912 plat map of Santa Ana showed South Main Street and Fairview Avenue (now McFadden Avenue) as the only streets in the area, with the majority of the property held by a few landowners: N. Palmer, H. K. Hanson, O'Brien, and Lewis. Development of Wilshire Square began circa 1923, when newspaper advertisements for newly subdivided lots costing between $635.00 and $1, 875.00 boasted "five foot sidewalks, curbs, electricity, gas, sewer, city water and ornamental trees" (Santa Ana Register, April 12, 1923). By 1923, all of Flower, Garnsey, Van Ness, Ross, and Borchard and portions of the remaining streets had been laid out. Lathrop Junior High School, designed by architect Frederick Eley in 1921 (demolished circa 1970), was constructed on the southwest corner of Fairview and Main and became an anchor of the neighborhood. In 1925, over 65 homes had been built in Wilshire Square, according to a count of addresses listed in the city directories. A 1927 map indicated that the area was zoned for single-family residences, except the east side of Sycamore, which was set aside for "courts and apartments, " apparently as a buffer for the "neighborhood business" zone on South Main Street. By 1930, maps of the City showed that, with the exception of a gap between Borchard and Edinger Avenues on Birch, Broadway, and Sycamore, all the streets in Wilshire Square were in place. Mapped by the Sanborn Company between 1931 and 1940, the neighborhood was substantially developed prior to the beginning of World War ll. Built in three phases, Wilshire Square primarily showcases the revival architectural styles popular during the first phase, circa 1923 to 1931, when 326 homes were built: variations of the Tudor Revival, the Spanish Colonial Revival, and the Colonial Revival. A handful of Craftsman bungalows completed the picture. A second phase, from 1935 to 1942, marked the recovery from the Great Depression and the war preparation years, and resulted in another 171 homes. The post World War ll building boom added 91 homes, many in the newly popular California Ranch style. Enhanced by the canopies of mature trees that line many of the streets, Wilshire Square developed as a middle class neighborhood of white and blue collar workers. Homes were both owner and speculator built, and, regardless of style, are unified by their one-story height, scale, common setbacks, and the placement of detached garages in the rear of each property. Retaining these qualities today (2003), the neighborhood was recognized for excellence in urban design by the Orange County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1997. The Wahl House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period." The Storybook design, particularly the incorporation of a turreted bay that suggests a tower, is a fine illustration of the taste for fantasy that characterized much of Southern California architecture during the 1920s and 1930s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Wilshire Square and "is a good example of period architecture" as an example of the Storybook variant of the English Revival style. Character defining exterior features of the Wahl House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration and treatment (gables and turret); massing and composition; original doors and windows; patio; chimney; architectural detailing; original interior finishes and features; and garage.

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.
