The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadana); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama -California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Barnhill -McDowell House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, in particular the flat -roofed, one- story, symmetrical bungalow variant of the style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana, featuring features highly distinctive porch piers that are the focal point of the fagade design.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Barnhill -McDowell House is a flat -roofed, one-story house, constructed in a symmetrical bungalow variant of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. The building is rectangular in plan and clad in a light lace rough stucco finish. A stepped parapet, with clay barrel tile coping, shields the roof along all four elevations. The fagade (east elevation) consists of three bays, composed in an A-B-A pattern. In the center bay, a projecting porch is the focal point, with distinctively shaped piers supporting a front -gabled porch roof. Clay barrel tiles cover the gable and terracotta tile paves the front steps and porch floor. The original entry doors and flanking sidelights exhibit a Prairie School -style glazing pattern. Tripartite, wood, casement windows, also in the Prairie School -style, are located in the side bays. Fenestration along the side (northern, and southern) elevations consists of Prairie School -style wood casement windows shaded by fabric awnings. A secondary entry on the south elevation faces the driveway and is characterized by a tiled shed roof supported on curved, oversized brackets, a Prairie School -style door and sidelights, terracotta paving. A small bedroom, bath, and laundry room addition as well as a patio cover were attached to the rear of the residence, but due to their location and design they do not impact the integrity of the building. There is a one-story detached garage at the rear of the property. The property is generally landscaped with low vegetation, shrubs, and lawn. The property retains a high degree of integrity. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Barnhill -McDowell House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1925 by J.T. McQuinn, and was valued at approximately $5,000, according to the original building permit and Newspapers.com (Santa Ana Recister). At the time of its construction the listed property owner was J.T. McQuinn, who was a local builder. According to city directories, Newton E. Wray and Isabel Wray purchased the property soon after and maintained it as a rental. Mr. Wray was a walnut and citrus farmer and a member of The Long Beach Scottish Rite masons. The property was primarily rented to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Barnhill. Mr. Barnhill was one of the first Santa Ana Police motorcycle officers, and later one of the first State Patrol officers of the California Highway Patrol. In 1929 the property was sold to Claude J. and lone L. McDowell. Mr. McDowell was chairman of the Santa Ana Breakfast Club program committee and manager of the Weber Bread industrial bakery in Santa Ana. The next recorded occupants were Donald G. and Mary Jerome. Mr. Jerome was the owner of a service station in downtown Santa Ana at 51h and Birch Streets. The property was sold in 1942 to Allan P. and Carmen R. Carstensen. Mr. Carstensen owned and operated a local grocery store. The next documented occupants of the home were James C. and Delinda S. Fallon (1948) who later deeded the property to the Department of Veterans Affairs. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 611. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

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 Barnhill -McDowell 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. 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, 1961). 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War Il, 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 (1861-1965), 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 ll 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 (2020) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Barnhill -McDowell 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," representative of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, in particular the flat -roofed, one-story, symmetrical bungalow variant of the style. Typical features of the Spanish Colonial Revival exhibited by the Barnhill -McDowell House include stucco cladding, barrel the coping and roofing, prominent entry, and stepped parapet. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a `good example of period architecture," representing the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana, featuring features highly distinctive porch piers that are the focal point of the facade design. Character defining features of the Barnhill -McDowell House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration, materials, and treatment (clay barrel tiling); massing and composition; distinctive porch piers, and doors and windows (Prairie School -style wood casement windows, where extant); and entry. *B12.

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 -1- MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2352 North Riverside Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 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.
