Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
May 5, 2022
Topic: HPPA No. 2022-4 – Evans House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to
execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Linda H. Miller. for
the property located at 1015 W. Camile Street, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Linda H. Miller is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of
Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 1015 W. Camile Street that is currently
listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Evans House, consists of an existing one-story Spanish
Colonial Revival style bungalow style residence that is approximately 1,008 square feet in
size on a 6,200-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Evans House was added to the
Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2007 and categorized as
“Contributive.”
Analysis of the Issues
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties. The property is listed on the Register and categorized
as Contributive, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides
monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in
exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state
of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the
agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed

value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits
include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
In 2007, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Evans House on the Register
and within the “contributive” category for its exemplification of the distinguishing
characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. In addition, the Evans house was
deemed architecturally significant and a good example of period architecture, as an intact
example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-
Lowell neighborhood. Character-defining exterior features of the Evans House include,
but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and
detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch;
chimney; and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond-shaped embellishments,
and porch archway.
Since its listing on the Register in 2007, the property has been improved only with new
paint. Otherwise, the property has no identified unauthorized modifications. As part of the
site visit to the property, staff noted several items to be included as part of the
rehabilitation and restoration requirements during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement.
These include, but are not limited to the removal of a non-original metal canopy and
supports in the east bay of the porch; replacement of damaged driveway; repair and
restoration of deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired fenestration and stucco cladding;
and the replacement of non-original porch tiles with more appropriate terracotta tiles.
These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration
of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property
Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-25 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $530.53 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival
vocabulary, popular b etween 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 .
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION :
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Propert ies under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the

Nearly perfect symmetry distinguishes the facade of this one-story Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalow. Sheathed with
stucco, the building is topped by a flat roof. At each end of the three-bay wide façade, piers flush with the exterior walls
anchor the façade roof treatment, which features tiled pent roofs over the side bays and a front gabled parapet marking the
center bay. A second, smaller parapet, also flanked by piers, tops the porch that projects in front of the central e ntry. Tiled
coping accents the roofline of each parapet. The porch space extends to the east and is defined by a low, stucco-covered
wall. Façade fenestration consists of identical groupings of three casement windows, each of whose upper third is divided
into three lights. In the center, the entry is framed by a flattened arch opening below the parapet. Decorative accents are
provided by a circular vent in the upper parapet face, a diamond vent in the lower parapet face, and two diamond-shaped
lozenges centered above the window groupings. A stucco-clad chimney is attached to the east elevation. The property also
contains a one-story, stuccoed, flat-roofed garage, also adorned with a tiled pent roof. Other than the addition of a metal
canopy and supports in the east bay of the porch, the house appears unaltered.

The Evans House is architecturally significant as a n intact and representative example of a popular variation on the Spanish
Colonial Revival theme: the symmetrical, flat-roofed bungalow. According to City of Santa Ana building permits, the house
and garage, valued at $3,200, were built in 1923 by William Ulm, a building contractor. The address first appears in the city
directories in 1925, when Dale H. Evans, the principal of Greenville School, and his wife Elta were the residents. The Evans’
only occupied the h ouse for a couple of years; from 1927 through 1929 Carl M. Stein, a salesman at Vandergast and Son, the
men’s haberdashery on Fourth Street, and his wife Helen resided at this address. The property continued to change residents
every few years through the 1940s. Occupations of the heads of household included the manager of the Schramm -Johnson
drug store, a music studio proprietor, a salesman with the National Cash Register Company, an engineer, an account, the
assistant supervisor of the American National Insurance Company, and a driver for the Atomic Express.

*P3a. Description (continued):
proportioned tripartite windows banded by diamond -paned transoms are located in the side bays. The central entry features
three, small, rectangular lights arranged in an ascending pattern. Windows on the side elevations are primarily double-hung
sash in type. All of the openings are topped by extended lintels. A picket fence encloses the property, which also contains a
front-gabled garage in the rear. The house is substantially unaltered.
*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 around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards
dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Evans House is located in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, which lies southwest of downtown Santa Ana and the Civic
Center. Taking its name from two local elementary schools, the neighborhood is bound by West First Street on the north,
West McFadden Avenue on the south, South Flower Street on the east and South Bristol Street on the west. In common with
other areas not immediately adjacent to the historic core, Pico-Lowell saw a persistence of agricultural uses into the twentieth
century. By 1912, when plat maps were drawn of Orange County, a little more than half of the neighborhood, primarily the
eastern section, had been subdivided into residential-sized lots, with the remainder consolidated into ten large parcels. The
city directories indicate that over one hundred homes had been constructed by this time. Home building continued to thrive
during the 1910s and 1920s, tapering off by the end of the decade. As a result, the oldest homes in the neighborhood are
small to medium sized bungalows, most representative of the Craftsman style of architecture. Those sections of the
neighborhood that remained unimproved were developed in the post-war housing boom of the late 1940s and 1950s, when
hundreds of modest California Ranch style homes were constructed. Today (2007), the neighborhood is densely populated,
and its ethnicity has shifted from Anglo-European to Hispanic.
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. As an example o f a symmetrical,
flat-roofed bungalow, the house displays the flat front with attached porch, parapeted roofline, stucco and tile materials
palette, and casement windows usually associated with this variation of the style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact
example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, “is a good
example of period architecture.” Character-defining exterior features of the Evans House that should be preserved include,
but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and
doors and their surrounds where extant; porch; chimney; and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond-shaped
embellishments, and porch archway.

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

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.

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-1, HRC 2022-2, HPPA No. 2022-6 – Campbell-Jeffrey House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-1
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-1 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Brent A. Ferdig, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Brent A. Ferdig is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at
2010 Greenleaf Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as
approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,968-square-foot, Tudor Revival style residence and
detached garage on a 7,600-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails

applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 94 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of
the Tudor Revival style. It was built in 1928 for $6,500 by an unknown builder for D.W.
Campbell. D.W. Campbell was a former Assistant City Treasurer, the general manager
of the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, and headed the panel of the Rationing Board.
D.W. Campbell resided on the property for two years before selling the property to Mrs.
Mary Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey was considered an Orange County pioneer, along with her
late husband William Jeffrey, who passed away in 1921. They were both prominent in
the growth and progress of the community, since they arrived in Orange County in
1897. The property was subsequently sold in 1945 to L.H. Sheay who resided in the
property until the late 1960s.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is a one-story, single-family, residential building
constructed in the Tudor Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a
complex hipped and gabled roof with a fairly steep pitch, incorporating a side-gabled
body with a projecting front gable, covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior
of the building is clad with stucco and enlivened by decorative half-timbering that
suggests a gothic arch. The primary (east) elevation is L-shaped, defined by the
primary, projecting, front-gabled wing and a side-gabled wing setback approximately
fifteen feet. A front-facing gablet projects from the side gable. Multi-light casement
windows framed by white wooden shutters are centered below each front gable. Wing
walls extend from either side of the front-gabled wing (north and south) towards two low
porch walls with wooden pedestrian gates, one leading towards the front entry (south)
and the second enclosing an uncovered front patio area (north). The front patio is
further defined by an exterior, tapered, brick chimney extending above the roofline, half
clad in stucco and capped by a course of bricks. The main entrance is located on the
side (south) elevation and is arched and recessed within a gabled projection. The
entryway is characterized by an original wood front door with an arched design,
accessed via an entrance stoop and front porch walkway paved with non-original flat
stone. A rear wing, topped by a hipped roof, terminates west end of the south elevation.
Fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of multi-light casement windows
and nine-over-one double-hung wood windows, each shaded with black fabric awnings
with wrought iron spear supports. Character-defining features of the house include its
massing and composition; fairly steeply pitched roof incorporating a side-gabled body

with a projecting front gable; stucco exterior enlivened by decorative half-timbering;
multi-light casement windows; original entry; and tall chimney.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival home. 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 Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The
president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this
public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this
public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed
notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of
this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from
any members of the public.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,016.51 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in
the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small
scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Tudor Revival home. 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 Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the Campbell-Jeffrey House is a one-story, single-family, residential building constructed in the Tudor
Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a complex hipped and gabled roof with a fairly steep pitch,
incorporating a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable, covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior of the
building is clad with stucco and enlivened by decorative half-timbering that suggests a gothic arch. The primary (east)
elevation is L-shaped, defined by the primary, projecting, front-gabled wing and a side-gabled wing setback approximately
fifteen feet. A front-facing gablet projects from the side gable. Multi-light casement windows framed by white wooden shutters
are centered below each front gable. Wing walls extend from either side of the front-gabled wing (north and south) towards
two low porch walls with wooden pedestrian gates, one leading towards the front entry (south) and the second enclosing an
uncovered front patio area (north). The front patio is further defined by an exterior, tapered, brick chimney extending above
the roofline, half clad in stucco and capped by a course of bricks. The main entrance is located on the side (south) elevation
and is arched and recessed within a gabled projection. The entryway is characterized by an original wood front door with an
arched design, accessed via an entrance stoop and front porch walkway paved with non-original flat stone. A rear wing,
topped by a hipped roof, terminates west end of the south elevation. Fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of
multi-light casement windows and nine-over-one double-hung wood windows, each shaded with black fabric awnings with
wrought iron spear supports. The property appears to be substantially intact, although a pair of double-hung sash windows
further to rear on the south elevation indicate that the attic has been converted to living space. The driveway is located along
the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, which is front-gabled and also clad in stucco.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival architectural style.
It was built in 1928 for $6,500 by an unknown builder for D.W. Campbell. D.W. Campbell was the former Assistant City
Treasurer (succeeded by Herbert P. Klotzly0, was the general manager of the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, and headed
the panel of the Rationing Board. D.W. Campbell resided on the property for two years before selling the property to Mrs.
Mary Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey was considered an Orange County pioneer, along with her late husband William Jeffrey who
passed away in 1921. They were both prominent in the growth and progress of the community, since they arrived in Orange
County in 1897. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey were born in Scotland. They came to California from Edinburgh and settled first in
Antelope Valley in 1884. When they came to Orange County in 1897, they bought a ranch home in Irvine where they lived
many years. They had six children, including a former Orange County supervisor, George Jeffrey. Mrs. Mary Jeffrey passed
away in her home on December 6, 1938 at the age of 83. After Mrs. Jeffrey’s passing, the property was vacant for a year,
then sold to P.A. Hodapp in 1940, who resided on the property until 1945. The property was sold in 1945 to L.H. Sheay who
resided in the property until the late 1960s. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-
2000s. Since early 2000, the Campbell-Jeffrey House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowners
purchased the home in 2020.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Campbell-Jeffrey 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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, 1981). 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 II, 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 (1881-1965), 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, homes in the neighborhood were
mostly developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park.
Today (2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent
and prominent citizens.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a
representative and intact example of a Tudor Revival home. 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 Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-
defining features of the house include its massing and composition; fairly steeply pitched roof incorporating a side-gabled
body with a projecting front gable; stucco exterior enlivened by decorative half-timbering; multi-light casement windows;
original entry; and tall chimney.

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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
May 5, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2021-27, HRC 2022-1, HPPA No. 2022-2 – E.H. Richards House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
27 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-1 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Geraldine Humphrey, subject
to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Geraldine Humphrey is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located
at 2308 N. Santiago Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as
approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of North Santiago Street in the Park
Santiago neighborhood. The site contains a 2,131-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on an 8,600-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails

applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 74 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The E.H. Richards House is architecturally significant as a representative example of
the Minimal Traditional style. It was built in 1948 for $14,000 by local developer and
builder Floyd Rogers. According to City directories, L.J. Ahrens was the first occupant of
the property but only resided there for two years until 1949. The property was
subsequently sold to R. R. Yeaman who resided on the property until 1953 and then
sold to P.A. Putnam, who only resided on the property for a year. Edward H. Richards
purchased the property in 1956. In 1919, E. H. Richards came to Santa Ana from
Cortland, NY where he was the cashier and manager of the Cortland National bank for
over 20 years. In 1923, E. H. Richards succeeded former City of Santa Ana Mayor,
John G. Mitchell to become the President of the American National Bank. In 1924,
Richards resigned and transferred to the Orange County Trust and Savings bank. E.H.
Richards was personally interested in civic affairs of the City and was an active
participant in consideration of matters pertaining to the welfare of the City.
The E.H. Richards House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the
Minimal Traditional style. The residence consists of a side-gabled body with a projecting
hipped-roof wing along the primary (east) elevation and along the rear (west) elevation.
The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad
with a stucco exterior. The primary elevation features a prominent exterior chimney,
extending past the roofline, flanked by two multi-light windows that meet windows facing
north and south at the corners of the hipped roof wing. In an otherwise simply designed
building, notable detailing includes lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports and the
wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows. Fenestration along the north, south,
and west elevations consists of wood hung windows and multi-light windows that meet
at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. A one-story, side-gabled, detached
garage also clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. The property is
landscaped with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone
walkway leading to the front entry. Character-defining features exhibited by this property
include its massing and composition; side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof
wing; stucco exterior; multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art
Moderne style; lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports; brick chimney; and wooden
ledge below the southeast corner windows.

The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a
representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the
house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall
character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal
Traditional architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Park Santiago Neighborhood Association. The
president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this
public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this
public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed
notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of
this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from
any members of the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA

Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-26 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $972.08 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested

this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code

property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.

6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the

the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to an y court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs:
in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in
particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in
square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand
home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and
manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise,
Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often
with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-
story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side
gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration
generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of
the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often
resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood
shutters and porch-roof supports
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal
Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Park Santiago, the E.H. Richards House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Minimal
Traditional style. The residence consists of a side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing along the primary (east)
elevation and along the rear (west) elevation. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls
are clad with a stucco exterior. The primary elevation features a prominent exterior chimney, extending past the roofline,
flanked by two multi-light windows that meet windows facing north and south at the corners of the hipped roof wing. In an
otherwise simply designed building, notable detailing includes lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports and the wooden ledge
below the southeast corner windows. Fenestration along the north, south, and west elevations consists of wood hung
windows and multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. A one-story, side-gabled,
detached garage also clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. The property is landscaped with low vegetation,
neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry. Alterations appear to include removal
of paint from the brick chimney attached to the primary (east) elevation and either the addition of rustic window shutters or the
removal of paint from extant window shutters.

The E.H. Richards House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa
Ana. It was built in 1948 for $14,000 by local developer and builder Floyd Rogers. According to City directories, L.J. Ahrens
was the first occupant of the property but only resided there for two years until 1949. The property was subsequently sold to
R. R. Yeaman who resided on the property until 1953 and then sold to P.A. Putnam, who only resided on the property for a
year. Edward H. Richards purchased the property in 1956 and only resided there for a few years before selling the property to
P. McClanahan. In 1919, E. H. Richards came to Santa Ana from Cortland, NY where he was the cashier and manager of the
Cortland National Bank for over 20 years. In 1923, E. H. Richards succeeded former City of Santa Ana Mayor, John G.
Mitchell to become the President of the American National Bank. In 1924, E.H. Richards resigned and transferred to the
Orange County Trust and Savings Bank. E.H. Richards was personally interested in civic affairs of the City and was an active
participant in consideration of matters pertaining to the welfare of the City. Since 1964, the E.H. Richards House has been
occupied by various owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2005.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The E.H. Richards House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek
and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the
west, and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were
constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric
interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific
Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue,
the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on
Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr.,
321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County
Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April
1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-
family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of
the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World
War II.
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal
Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features exhibited by this property include its massing and composition;
side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing; stucco exterior; multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent
of the Art Moderne style; lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports; brick chimney; and wooden ledge below the southeast
corner windows.

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

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
May 5, 2022
Topic: HRCA-2022-4, HRC-2022-4, HPPA-2022-8– The Bessie Coulter House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-4
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-4 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Ronald R. and Robin L.
Romain, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney (Exhibit 2).

Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of North Ross Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,746-square-foot, Tudor Revival style residence and
detached garage on an 8,700-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site

having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 93 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Bessie Coulter House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of
the Tudor Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1929, according to
County of Orange records. The original building permit was not located. The earliest
record shows that local realtor F. Carl Mock lived in the home with his family from 1930-
1933 before the home sold to F.E. and Bessie Coulter. It is interesting to note that Carl
Mock (1888-1970) came to Santa Ana in 1915 and received real estate license number
three and was a major player in real estate and development in Santa Ana and greater
Orange County prior to his death in 1970. The home was the used as a rental by the
Coulters during the late 1930s and early 1940s when Myron LeSourd rented the home
before building his own house at 2447 N. Heliotrope Drive. This is evidenced by
newspaper clippings of the era. The home was the scene of many parties, social and
club meetings pertaining to Ebell and Junior Ebell. Bessie Coulter (1890-1974) was
during the era, the longest continuous owner of the property.
The Bessie Coulter House is a one-story single-family residential building constructed in
the Tudor Revival architectural style Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a
steeply pitched front gable roof, characterized by uneven rakes, that projects from the
side-gabled and hipped roof at the primary (east) façade. The front-gabled wing is
centered between a window bay to the south and an attached porte cochere to the north
and contains the main entrance within an arched porch and an adjacent arched, fixed
window. Both entry and window are deeply recessed into the building. The main
entrance consists of an arched door with a single, narrow light. Segmental arch
openings characterize the porte cochere. Building fenestration includes double, wood-
framed, casement windows with divided lights on the primary and north elevations.
Fenestration on the side and rear (west) elevations includes wood-framed French doors
with divided lights, double-hung windows, and has three contemporary, wood-framed
French doors lacking muntins on the rear elevation. A stucco-clad covered patio with
double segmental arch openings is located to the rear of the building. The property is
simply landscaped with two mature trees, a lawn, low vegetation and simple walkway at
the front setback. A driveway parallels the north elevation and leads to the detached,
one-story, two-car garage, which is also clad in stucco. Character-defining features of
the house include its include its massing and composition, consisting of a side-gabled

body with a projecting front gable mid facade; arched entry occupied by the original
front door and living room window contained within the front gable projection; uneven
rakes on the fairly steeply pitched front gable; stucco exterior; and multi-light casement
windows. More unusual is the hipped roof extension to the north housing a porte
cochere beneath a segmental arch opening.
The Bessie Coulter House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. The
property appears to be substantially intact, although the chimney was apparently
truncated to roof level at some point. The house displays characteristics of the Tudor
Revival through its steeply-pitched front-gabled roof, shallow eaves, asymmetrical
massing, arched entry porch with arched front door; and multi-paned windows. The
Bessie Coulter House has been categorized as “Contributive” for it “contributes to the
overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a representative
example of Tudor Revival architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park neighborhood. The president of this
Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In

addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a
notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all
property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no
correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of
the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-30 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $475.73 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

YEAR BUILT 1929 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive
HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park
CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in
the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small
scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Bessie Coulter House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. The property appears to be substantially intact, although the chimney was
apparently truncated to roof level at some point. 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 representative example of Tudor
Revival architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park on the west side of North Ross Street, the Bessie Coulter House is a one-story single-family residential
building constructed in the Tudor Revival architectural style. The subject property is made up of a long, narrow lot that
contains the residence to the east and a detached garage to the west. The residential building has an L-shaped footprint and
is clad in smooth stucco. It features a roof that is cross-gabled at both the front and rear of the building. The roof is clad in
composition shingles with minimal overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a
steeply pitched front gable roof, characterized by uneven rakes, that projects from the side-gabled and hipped roof at the
primary (east) façade. The front-gabled wing is centered between a window bay to the south and an attached porte cochere
to the north and contains the main entrance within an arched porch and an adjacent arched, fixed window. Both entry and
window are deeply recessed into the building. The main entrance consists of an arched door with a single, narrow light.
Segmental arch openings characterize the porte cochere. Building fenestration includes double, wood-framed, casement
windows with divided lights on the primary and north elevations. Fenestration on the side and rear (west) elevations includes

The Bessie Coulter House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival style. The original
building permit was not located. The earliest record shows that local realtor F. Carl Mock lived in the home with his family
from 1930-1933 before the home sold to F.E. and Bessie Coulter. It is interesting to note that Carl Mock (1888-1970) came
to Santa Ana in 1915 and received real estate license number three and was a major player in real estate and development
in Santa Ana and Greater Orange County prior to his death in 1970. The home was the used as a rental by the Coulters
during the late 1930s and early 1940s when Myron LeSourd rented the home before building his own house at 2447 N.
Heliotrope Drive. This is evidenced by newspaper clippings of the era. The home was the scene of many parties, social and
club meetings pertaining to Ebell and Junior Ebell. Bessie Coulter (1890-1974) was during the era the longest continuous
owner of the property.

*P3a. Description (continued):
wood-framed French doors with divided lights, double-hung windows, and has three contemporary, wood-framed French
doors lacking muntins on the rear elevation. A stucco-clad covered patio with double segmental arch openings is located to
the rear of the building. Other features of note include columns of three small vents near the peak of the gable ends and two
brick chimneys. The property is simply landscaped with two mature trees, a lawn, low vegetation and simple walkway at the
front setback. A driveway parallels the north elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, which is also
clad in stucco. The garage’s primary (east) façade features a front gable roof with a projecting, shed roof clad in composition
shingles and garage door below the main gable. A single, wood pedestrian door and double-hung wood-frame window are
also on the primary façade. The garage gable end contains two round vents below the front gable to match the main house.
*B10. Significance (continued):
The Bessie Coulter 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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, 1981). 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 II, 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 (1881-1965), 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 II 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Bessie Coulter House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. The property appears to be substantially intact, although the chimney was
apparently truncated to roof level at some point. 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 representative example of Tudor
Revival architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Tudor Revival style
exhibited by the house include its massing and composition, consisting of a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable
mid facade; arched entry occupied by the original front door and living room window contained within the front gable
projection; uneven rakes on the fairly steeply pitched front gable; stucco exterior; and multi-light casement windows. More
unusual is the hipped roof extension to the north housing a porte cochere beneath a segmental arch opening.

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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
May 5, 2022
Topic: HRCA-2022-7, HRC-2022-5, HPPA-2022-9 – The Hallicy House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-7
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-5 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Jeffrey A. Palmer and Megan
C. Palmer, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jeffrey A. Palmer and Megan C. Palmer are requesting approval to designate an
existing residence located at 2315 N. Flower Street to the Santa Ana Register of
Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City
of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of North Flower Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,759-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on a 6,720-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site

having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 84 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Hallicy House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the
Minimal Traditional style. This house was originally constructed in 1938 by Santa Ana
builder J.R. Sandstrom for $6,000, according to the original building permit. Mr.
Sandstrom was not only a prolific builder throughout Santa Ana, but he was also the
Bishop of the local Church of Latter Day Saints. The home was shown at various open
houses before being sold to long-time Santa Ana resident Paul J. Hallicy (1896-1958)
and wife Florence Hallicy (1896-1992). Mr. Hallicy was President, Treasurer and
Director of Holly Development Co. a subsidiary of Holly Sugar Company since 1922. Mr.
Hallicy died suddenly in 1958 while on vacation in Wyoming. Mrs. Hallicy was active in
Ebell Club and in the Pegasus Poetry Club.
The Hallicy House is a one-story single-family residential building constructed in the
Minimal Traditional architectural style. The house features a low-pitched, multi-hipped
roof design. The roof is clad in composition shingles and features eaves with little
overhang with minimally exposed rafter tails. The main entrance is raised and setback
slightly into the building. It is accessible by two steps situated under a flat, rounded
porch roof that is supported by decorative metal beams. Primary (west) façade windows
consist of two double-hung, wood-frame multi-lite windows with wood shutters to the
north of the entrance, and double-hung and fixed wood-frame multi-lite windows that
wrap around the southwest corner of the building, just south of the main entrance. The
south façade contains an additional double-hung wood-frame multi-lite window that
wraps around a corner. Several double-hung wood-frame windows are located
throughout the south and rear (east) facades. A paved driveway leads from Flower
Street towards the east, terminating at a detached garage that is clad in smooth stucco
and has a hipped roof and minimal overhanging eaves. Landscaping includes a front
lawn with several tall Palm Trees and low shrubs. Character-defining features of the
house include its massing and composition, consisting of a hip-roofed body and
projecting wing; stucco exterior; and multi-light windows that meet at the corners,
reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. Other Art Moderne-inspired features include the
entry, with its curved canopy, and porthole window.

The Hallicy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
under Criterion 1 as an example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. The house
displays characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style through its small, one-story
massing and height, low-pitched roof, roof eaves with little overhang, and double-hung
multi-pane windows. The Hallicy House has been categorized as “Contributive” for it
“contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a
representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park neighborhood. The president of this
Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In
addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a
notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all
property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no
correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of
the public.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,

Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-28 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $737.41 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code

property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Hallicy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it
“contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional
architecture (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The Hallicy House is a single-story residence designed in the Minimal Traditional style. The building has a mostly rectangular
footprint and is clad in smooth stucco. The house features a low-pitched, multi-hipped roof design. At the primary (west)
façade, the south half of the building is setback slightly from the north. The roof is clad in composition shingles and features
eaves with little overhang and minimally exposed rafter tails. The primary façade contains four architectural bays consisting of
two windows to the north, and the main entrance and a corner window located within the façade’s setback. The main
entrance is elevated and set back slightly into the building. It is accessible by two steps situated under a flat, rounded porch
roof that is supported by decorative metal posts. Primary façade windows consist of two double-hung, wood-framed, six-over-
six windows with wood shutters to the north of the entrance, and double-hung and fixed wood-frame multi-light windows that
wrap around the southwest corner of the building, just south of the main entrance. The south elevation contains an additional
double-hung, wood-framed, multi-light window that wraps around a corner. Several double-hung wood-framed windows are
located throughout the south and rear (east) elevations. Secondary pedestrian doors are placed along the south and rear
elevations and consist of single, wood-framed, multi-light doors. Additional architectural details include a brick chimney along
the north elevation and a single, round, fixed window with divided lights adjacent to the main entrance. The property’s rear
contains a detached patio that is covered by a shingle-clad roof with a brick chimney, and partially enclosed by a low brick
wall and lattice with arch openings. A paved driveway leads from Flower Street towards the east, terminating at a detached
garage that is clad in smooth stucco and has a hipped roof and minimal overhanging eaves. Landscaping includes a front
lawn with several tall palm trees and low shrubs.

The Hallicy House is significant as a representative example of a Minimal Traditional house, typical of the period just before
World War II and the post-war popularity of the ranch style. It was built in 1938 by Santa Ana builder J.R. Sandstrom. Mr.
Sandstrom was not only a prolific builder throughout Santa Ana but he was also the Bishop of the local Church of Latter Day
Saints. The home was shown at various open houses before being sold to long-time Santa Ana resident Paul J. Hallicy
(1896-1958) and wife Florence. Mr. Hallicy (1896-1992) was President, Treasurer and Director of Holly Development Co. a
subsidiary of Holly Sugar Company since 1922. Mr. Hallicy died suddenly in 1958 while on vacation in Wyoming. Mrs. Hallicy
was active in Ebell Club and in the Pegasus Poetry Club.

*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 Hallicy 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, 1981). 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 II, 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 (1881-1965), 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 II 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Hallicy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of
the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it
“contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional
architecture (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Hallicy House include, but may not be
limited to: its massing and composition, consisting of a hip-roofed body and projecting wing; stucco exterior; and multi-light
windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. Other Art Moderne-inspired features include the
entry, with its curved canopy, and porthole 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

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
May 5, 2022
Topic: HRCA-2022-5, HRC-2022-3, HPPA-2022-7 – The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-5
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-3 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Ernest R. Reinhardt and
Sydney Reinhardt, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager
and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ernest R. Reinhardt and Sydney Reinhardt are requesting approval to designate an
existing residence located at 2302 N. Heliotrope Drive to the Santa Ana Register of
Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City
of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of North Heliotrope Drive in the Floral
Park neighborhood. The site contains a 2,961-square-foot, Ranch style residence and
attached garage on a 12,240-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site

having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 67 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House is architecturally significant as a characteristic
example of the Ranch style. This house was originally constructed in 1955 for a cost of
$43,000, according to the original building permit. The first owner and builder of the
house was Wellington W. Woods (1899-1957) and wife Eva B. (1899-1964). Locally, he
was known as “WW” Woods and he owned and operated a truck sales, rental and
shipping company locally in Santa Ana. The architect on the project was the highly
regarded Philmer J. Ellerbroek, FAIA (1905-1969). Educated at USC, Ellerbroek
designed alone and in partnership with others and is credited with designs for schools,
apartment buildings, commercial buildings and institutional facilities (e.g., the
Community Presbyterian Church, Cathedral City, 1959, as Pleger, Blurock, Hougan,
and Ellerbroek, Architects) as well as numerous homes, mostly in the Newport Beach
area. His clients included well-known personalities, such as film star Ray Milland and
television host Art Linkletter. His work was photographed by architectural photographers
Maynard L. Parker (archives held by the Huntington Museum and Library) and Julius
Shulman (archives located at the Getty Museum and Conservation Institute) and
published in journals such as Architectural Digest. Following the Woods residency, the
Medlers lived the home from 1965 until 2003 with LeRoy Medler (1919-2010), a veteran
of World War II and local businessman and his wife Ruth Elizabeth (1922-1997) being
the longest continuous owners.
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House is a single-family residential building constructed in
the Ranch architectural style that is predominately one-story. Asymmetrical in design,
the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long, low-pitched
roof ridge running parallel to the both east and south façades. The complex roof design
is composed of a side-gable crossed with a hipped roof that projects slightly to the east,
along the primary (east) façade. The breezeway at the primary (south) façade has a
side-gabled roof that intersects a front-gable. The second-story living space above the
attached garage is capped by a hipped roof. The exterior of the house is clad primarily
in board-and-batten siding and features painted brick at the primary (east) façade and
minimal use of smooth stucco on the north elevation. The main entrance, which is
located on the primary (east) façade, consists of paneled double doors that are slightly
recessed and sheltered under the main roof. A row of six fixed, semi-translucent lites,

which match the height of the main entrance doors, are immediately south of the entry.
The primary façade windows consist of single-hung wood framed windows with divided
lites, flanked by wood shutters and raised above decorative wood paneling. Remaining
fenestration includes four long, narrow fixed lites at the second story living space above
the garage of the primary (south) façade, and a combination of nearly floor-to-ceiling,
fully-glazed, fixed, sliding, and double doors along the west elevation facing the back
yard. The property is landscaped with a lawn and low vegetation with decorative rock
planters at the east and south facades. A brick walkway leading towards the front entry
contains a single tree set in a rock planter flush with the brick paving. Character-defining
features of the house include its one-story, horizontal massing; low-pitched,
overhanging, hipped roof with exposed rafters; blend of rustic materials including wood
and brick; and extensive use of windows to blur the separation between indoors and
out.
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of
Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics
of the Ranch House style. The house displays characteristics of the Ranch Style through
its one-story massing, asymmetrical façade, garage attached to a main façade, low
pitched roof without dormers, and wide roof overhang. The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek
House has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as a
good example of the Ranch Style and as the work of a prominent and respected South
Coast architect, Philmer J. Ellerbroek.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property

The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park neighborhood. The president of this
Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In

notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all
property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no
correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of
the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-29 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,417.86 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1
for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style and under Criterion 2 for its design by
notable local architect Philmer J. Ellerbroek. The recommended categorization is “Landmark” for its unique architectural
significance as a good example of the Ranch Style and as the work of a prominent and respected South Coast architect,
Philmer J. Ellerbroek (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House is a single-family residence designed by well-regarded local architect,
Philmer J. Ellerbroek, in the Ranch Style. The building sits on a modestly sized corner parcel whose primary elevations face east
and south. Its massing is primarily single-story that is L-shaped. The building includes a breezeway formed by fixed vertical
louvered panels facing Santa Clara Avenue to the south which connects the garage and second story living space with the main
residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long, low-pitched roof
ridge running parallel to the both east and south façades. The complex roof design is composed of a side-gable crossed with a
hipped roof that projects slightly to the east, along the primary (east) façade. The breezeway at the primary (south) façade has a
side-gabled roof that intersects a front-gable. The second-story living space above the attached garage is capped by a hipped roof.
The roof exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along all four elevations. The exterior of the house is clad primarily in
board-and-batten siding and features painted brick at the primary (east) façade and minimal use of smooth stucco on the north
elevation. The main entrance, which is located on the primary (east) façade, consists of paneled double doors that are slightly
recessed and sheltered under the main roof. A row of six fixed, semi-translucent lites, which match the height of the main entrance
doors, are immediately south of the entry.

The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House
style. This house was originally constructed in 1955 and valued at $43,000 according to the original building permit. The first
owner and builder of the house was Wellington W. Woods (1899-1957) and wife Eva B. (1899-1964). Locally he was known
as “WW” Woods and he owned and operated a truck sales, rental and shipping company locally in Santa Ana. The architect
on the project was the highly regarded Philmer J. Ellerbroek FAIA (1905-1969). Educated at USC, Ellerbroek designed alone
and in partnership with others and is credited with designs for schools, apartment buildings, commercial buildings and
institutional facilities (e.g., the Community Presbyterian Church, Cathedral City, 1959, as Pleger, Blurock, Hougan, and
Ellerbroek, Architects) as well as numerous homes, mostly in the Newport Beach area. His clients included well-known
personalities, such as film star Ray Milland and television host Art Linkletter. His work was photographed by architectural
photographers Maynard L. Parker (archives held by the Huntington Museum and Library) and Julius Shulman (archives
located at the Getty Museum and Conservation Institute) and published in journals such as Architectural Digest. Following the
Woods residency, the Medlers lived the home from 1965 until 2003 with LeRoy Medler (1919-2010), a veteran of World War
II and local businessman and his wife Ruth Elizabeth (1922-1997) being the longest continuous owners.

*P3a. Description (continued):
The east and south elevations each have two windows which are placed on the far ends of both facades. These windows
consist of single-hung wood framed windows with divided lites, flanked by wood shutters and raised above decorative wood
paneling. Remaining fenestration includes four long, narrow fixed lites at the second story living space above the garage of
the primary (south) façade, and a combination of nearly floor-to-ceiling, fully-glazed, fixed, sliding, and double doors along the
west elevation facing the back yard. The property is landscaped with a lawn and low vegetation with decorative rock planters
at the east and south facades. A brick walkway leading towards the front entry contains a single tree set in a rock planter
flush with the brick paving. Three palm trees line the east yard and one large and one small tree are south of the building. A
low post and rail fence wraps around the property to the east, south, and part of the north, which increases in height near the
garage at the southwest.
*B10. Significance (continued):
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek 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, 1981). 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 II, 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 (1881-1965), 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 II 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It was designed by architect Philmer J. Ellerbroek,
who “reigned as one of the South Coast’s premiere [sic] architectural practicioners [sic]” in the 1950s and 1960s, thereby
fulfilling the requirements of Criterion 2 (Vaught, 2011). Built at a cost of $43,000 in 1955, a very substantial investment for
the time, the property retains substantial integrity of exterior design, materials, and workmanship, although the interior has
been recently renovated. The recommended categorization is “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as a good
example of the Ranch Style and as the work of a prominent and respected South Coast architect, Philmer J. Ellerbroek
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House include, but
may not be limited to: its one-story, horizontal massing; low-pitched, overhanging, hipped roof with exposed rafters; blend of
rustic materials including wood and brick; and extensive use of windows to blur the separation between indoors and out.

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
