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 Head-Wimpey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Tudor Revival tract home in Santa Ana. 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).

Head was said to have fought in the American Civil War on the Confederate side and was Grand Cyclops to the Ku Klux Klan
in Tennessee. Dr. Head is also said to have personally delivered the bill to Sacramento to allow Orange County to secede from
Los Angeles County. He Horace Head was a graduate of University of California, Berkeley and was the attorney of the Orange
County Flood Control District, and later, was District Attorney for the County of Orange from 1904 to 1908. He served as
President of the Orange County Bar Association from 1915 to 1920. The Head-Wimpey House was first sold to Mr. and Mrs.
A.B. Wimpey in 1936. Mrs. A.B. Wimpey was a member of the First Presbyterian Woman's auxiliary circles. Their daughter,
Shirley Wimpey, was a member of the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Christian Church. The Wimpeys lived in the

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Head-Wimpey 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. Developerand 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 Half the El
Toro Marine Base during World War 11, 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 11 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the
premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Head-Wimpey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Tudor Revival tract home in Santa Ana. Characteristics of the Tudor Revival include steeply pitched complex
gable roofs, shallow roof overhangs, asymmetrical massing, stucco exterior and multipaned windows. 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. Character -
defining features of the house include a complex gable and wing roof of moderately steep pitch; shallow roof overhangs, roof
detailing such as wooden bargeboards and exposed rafter tails; multi -paned wood casement windows used on the primary
elevation; double -hung wood windows where extant; and hand -troweled textured stucco exterior walls.

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

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
