ADDRESS 936 West River Lane CITY Santa Ana ZIP 1 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1948 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Landmark HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Jack Fisher Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: French Eclectic Style Based upon precedents provided by many centuries of French domestic architecture, the French Eclectic style shows great variety in form and detailing but is united by the characteristic steeply hipped roof. (Only the Spanish Revival style, similarly based upon a long and complex architectural tradition, approaches it in variety). Informal domestic building in northwestern France (particularly Normandy and Brittany) shares much with Medieval English tradition. The use of half- timbering with a variety of different wall materials, as well as roofs of flat tile, slate, stone, or thatch are common to both. As a result, the French Eclectic houses often resemble the contemporaneous Tudor style based on related English precedent. French examples, however, normally lack the dominant front -facing cross gables characteristic of the Tudor. In contract to these generally informal, rural prototypes, Many French Eclectic houses show formal Renaissance detailing resembling that of the English Georgian. (McAlester 486). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Harold T. Segerstrom House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4(b), for its association with renowned Orange County Segerstrom family, who were agriculturalists, developers, and arts patrons, and under Criterion 2 for its association with prominent Santa Ana builder Allison Honer. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark' for its "historical/cultural significance to the City," stemming from its association with the Segerstroms (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Jack Fisher Park, this is a two-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited with a deep setback and constructed in the French Eclectic style. The residence is asymmetrical in composition, defined by the two-story central block topped with a tall, steeply pitched, hipped roof, featuring two one -and a -half story wings in the east and west direction, and front -facing gabled extension along the first floor. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of brick, smooth stucco, and horizontal wood board siding on the front -facing gable ends. The roof treatment defines four sections of the front (north) fagade. In the middle, the central block features an entry porch formed by a second story extension and characterized by brick cladding around the door, a simple wood post, and an adjacent metal fixed window with diamond shaped patterns. The second story features a pair of metal casement window wall dormers. The front -facing gabled extension features a prominent bay window with a protruding decorative brick wall below. Metal -framed casement windows appear in the two west sections of the fagade as well as the east section, each framed by decorative wood shutters. The two west sections feature a side - gabled design with a varied roof height with the section furthest from the central block smaller in height. The east section of the front fagade is an attached three -car garage featuring a side -gabled design and forming a breezeway that leads to the garage entry accessed by the rear. This east section features a hipped dormer extension and a decorative rooftop cupola crowned by a weathervane. The rear (south) elevation also features a series of metal casement windows, including divided - light steel casement corner windows and divided -light, tripartite casement windows. An exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline framing a modest rear patio formed by a side -gable roof extension. The property is landscaped with mature trees, low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, and a decorative brick driveway leading towards the rear. *123b.

Also address integrity) The Harold T Segerstrom House was built in 1948 by prominent developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, now the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. The Allison Honer Construction Company also completed such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. The Harold T. Segerstrom house was built for Harold "Hal' Segerstrom Sr. and wife Veronica P. Segerstrom. Harold Segerstrom Sr., one of the six sons of Charles John (C.J.) and Britta Segerstrom, was a member of one of the leading families of Orange County. C.J. and Britta Segerstrom came to Orange County from Sweden, with an intermediate stop in the Midwest, in 1898. They purchased land in what is now Costa Mesa and established a family agricultural business, which specialized in producing lima beans and maintaining a large dairy herd.

The Segerstrom interests also built the first high rise in Santa Ana, the United California Building at the corner of Tenth and Main Streets, Harold T Segerstrom Sr. died in 1978; Veronica Segerstrom died in 1982. Along with his cousin Henry T. Segerstrom, Harold T. Segerstrom Jr. joined the family firm, C.J. Segerstrom & Sons in the late 1940's and was a managing partner. Harold T Segerstrom Jr. remained in the home until 1984 when he moved to Newport Beach with his wife Jeannette Segerstrom but the house remained in the family until the early 1990's, until Harold T. Segerstrom Jr.'s sudden death. The Harold T. Segerstrom House is located in Jack Fisher Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by Bristol Street, Santa Clara Avenue, Memory Lane, and the Interstate 5. The neighborhood takes its name from Jacob (Jack) Fisher. Born in Yakima, Washington, Fisher moved to Santa Ana with his parents and sister in the early twentieth century. In April 1917, upon the United States' entry into World War 1, Fisher enlisted in the US Army when he was 18 years old. Assigned to Company L, Seventh California Regiment, Fisher later advanced to the level of corporal in the 58th Infantry of Company D. After Fisher's death at the age of 30, in March 1929, the Chapter of Disabled American Veterans he helped form took his name as the Jack Fisher Post, Chapter of Disabled American Veterans. On August 23, 1933, construction was completed on a park north of Santiago Creek on North Flower Street and dedicated as the Jack Fisher Memorial Park. Prior to its residential development, Fisher Park formed Lots 5B, 8 and 9 of the Potts, Borden and Sidwell Tract, subdivided in 1881. Current -day Interstate 5 conforms to the prominent diagonal swath cut by the Southern Pacific Railroad line, which was established in Santa Ana in the late 1870s and still forms the eastern border of the Fisher Park neighborhood. With the exception of the Southern Pacific Railroad line, the area remained agricultural through much of the first half of the twentieth century, with walnut groves and orchards dotting the landscape. In November 1947, residential development arrived when a narrow strip was cleared, graded, and subdivided into 25lots offered as Tract No. 1160, "River Lane Tract." Mirroring the curve of Santiago Creek to the south, the streets displayed a curvilinear layout, with lots ranging in size from 70 to 130 feet long, 140 to 190 deep. Three years later, in August 1950, another curvilinear subdivision appeared east of Flower Street, with smaller lots, averaging 60 feet by 90 feet, arranged around a curvilinear pattern with cul de sacs. An outgrowth of earlier City Beautiful and Garden City models, this curvilinear layout reflected neighborhood planning preferences codified in the 1930s by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which regulated and financed the increase in home ownership through its mortgage lending and insurance programs. During the post -WWII housing expansion in the United States, the FHA - endorsed model for city planning, as reflected in the neighborhood of Fisher Park, "set the standards for the design of post - World War II subdivisions." (National Register Bulletin, Historic Residential Suburbs, p. 49). Construction quickly transformed the neighborhood from agricultural to residential. A 1947 aerial photograph taken a few months before creation of the River Lane Tract shows the area dominated by groves of trees. By 1955, nearly all the lots of both tracts had been improved with single-family residences with uniform setbacks, mostly in the Ranch House style popular in the 1950s and 1960s, in a configuration and unity of design still reflected there today (2020). The homes of the Jack Fisher Park neighborhood represent the overwhelming success architects and builders had in the early 1950's, when building homes using "California Ranch" architectural design and features. Homes and lots located in the Fisher Park neighborhood were generously scaled, with homes ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 square feet and lot sizes from 6,500 to 25,000 square feet. The Harold T. Segerstrom House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4(b), for its association with renowned Orange County Segerstrom family, who were agriculturalists, developers, and arts patrons, and under Criterion 2 for its association with prominent Santa Ana builder Allison Honer. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its "historical/cultural significance to the City," stemming from its association with the Segerstroms (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Harold T. Segerstrom House include, but may not be limited to: asymmetrical fagade; roof configuration, including steeply pitched, hipped roof and front - facing and side -gabled extensions; roof and wall dormers; materials and finishes (brick, smooth stucco, and horizontal wood board siding); fenestration (metal casement windows with diamond shaped patterns); exterior brick chimney and rooftop cupula with weathervane; and front entry porch.

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.
