The home, located at 2900 N. Flower Street, is one of the few homes in Santa Ana outside the ~rench Park neighborhood, whcih largely evloved during the reign of the Colonial Revival. As ~uch, it is a historical home worth restoring and preserving. The property upon which the home was build, was owned by Jasper A. Smiley and his wife Fannie M. Smiley. The Smiley's ~:cre rancher~ and fruit growers and they are listed for the first time in the 1907 Santa Ana Register under West Orange because N. Flower at that time was not incorporated under the City of Santa Ans. The property remained in the hands o£ the Smiley's for several years, and in the late forties the home was occupied by rancher R. Dean Smiley and his wife Elizabeth. ·Santa Ana's Architectural Heritage by The Santa Ana Historic Survey, page 61, and at~ached photograph of Colonial Revtval/Americam Foursquare.
