CITY COUNCIL ACCEPTANCE The City Council of Santa Ana accepts this property onto the Santa Ana Historic Register on this 15thday of March 19 93 . City of Santa Ana DESCRllrilON Condition Check One Check One ,., excellent deteriorated unaltered original site good ruins altered moved date fair unexposed [escrlbe the present and original (if known) physical appearance The Hamaker House, presently located at 1131 W. Civic Center Drive, is a typical, but nicely-detailed Craftsman Bungalow which exhibits an Oriental influence. Constructed in 1912, the house is single-storied and approximate- ly · 2200 'square feet in size. The house is'clad in medium-width clapboard siding and is symmetrical in design. The roof is a iow-pitched, side-facing gabled roof. centered with a matching gabled dormer. U-shaped in form, the house has two wings extending the the rear (north), with a recessed patio area in the center. The house has been built low to the ground, reflecting the Mid-teens Craftsman philosophy of closeness with nature. Roof scape: The low-pitched side-facing gabled roof is decorated with lath venting, exposed rafter tails, and single exposed beam ends. The eaves are unusuaUy wide, reflecting the Oriental style. The lath gable pattern, which fills the entire surface of the gable face, features rows of horizontal lath boards, with vertical lath interspersed along the surface. Exposed beam ends are located at the peak and along the eaves. A prominent gabled dormer, centered in the front facade, matches the main roof in design. A pair of gabled wings extend to the rear of the house and also match the design of the side gables. A flat patio roof, which fills the space between the gables is a relatively new addition and will be removed during restoration. Front Facade: The full recessed front porch is supported at the corners by rectangular stucco-clad piers topped with a concrete cap and square brick columns. The columns are accented with a concrete cap at the top and two pairs of Oriental-style beams, placed at right angles to each other. Elephantine-style wood columns, resting on square stucco-clad piers, sit on each side of the centered wide steps, and support the center section of the porch roof. Stucco- clad piers flank the wide wooden steps. The centered front door, original to the house, features a trio of narrow vertically-placed beveled glass panels, all accented at the bottom with ledges. The center panel is the same height at the top as the other two, but dips lower in the center. The original brass hardware is still in place, but has been painted. The front door is flanked by wide casement-style side- lights. A pleasing design element, refected in almost all of the windows in the house, is the four-light muntined pattern which fills the top fifth of each window. A trio of windows is located to the west side of the front door arrangement, while a plate glass wind°w Hanked by narrower windows occupies the east side. The window trim possesses an Oriental influence through the use of extended lintels and tapered trim on the sides. East Facade: A trio of paired casement windows in the front half of the east facade allow lots of light to come into the dining room, located in the southeast cor- ner of the house. The casement windows also feature the four-light pattern at the top. A pair o£ double-hung windows to the north o£ the center of the east facade indicate the location of the kitchen. A service porch, clad in vertically-placed car siding, occupies the northeast cc, met and has been enclosed with glass. West Facade: The west side is occupied by a bedroom on each end and a batttroom in the middle. The bedroom windows are double-hung, with two on the north end and two on the south end. In the center is a cant[levered square bay with a Hat roof. accented by rounded beam ends. The bay has a slight Hare at the bottom and is centered with a pair of windows. A small closet win- dow flanks the bay on the north. l~ear ~north) Facade: The "U" formed by the recess between the east and west rear-facing gabled wings is centered with a pair of multi=parted french doors. Pairs of case- ment windows, also with four lights in the top fifth, flank the doors. The wing on the east side is occupied by the enclosed service porch, while the western-most wing is centered with a pair of casement windows. Specific date..

Charles was a stair- builder for the Grlffith Lumber Company for many years. ]'he quality of construction of this house appears to reHect the attention to detail that a master carpenter would possess. The large airy. rooms are typical of the mid-teens Craftsman Bungalow. The living room, d!ning room and den How together to make one large space, and the full front porch and french doors from the den to the back yard provided ideal places to sit outdoors. Charles and Emma purchased the property in 1909, while they were still living in their Berkeley Street house. It was 1.57 acres in size. ]'he south section of Westwood Street. immediately to the east of the house, was not constructed until the late 1940's, and it appears that approximately half of the land for the street was taken from this property. The assessor's records reveal that the land was valued at $400 and the house at $850 in 1913. The Hamakers had two children that lived in the house with them, Leonard and Edna. All three of Leonard Hamaker's sons were fighter pilots during W. W. 11. The Hamakers sold the house at 1131 in 1919 and moved to Artesia. Charles died there on December 7, 1929, at the age of 71. The house was next owned by Thomas Heath. Clifton and Hazel Weethee were the owners in the early 1930's. Clifton was a salesman for Alpha Beta Stores. The next owners, Percy and Frances Crump, were in the apiary business. John Ricker, a rancher was there in the late 1930's and Harold and Wilma John- son. local ranchers owned the house through the 194,0's. The signficance of the Hamaker House lies in its quality arch/tecture and construction. It is a good example o£ the Mid-teens style o£ Craftsman Bungalow. It will fit well into the Historic French Park neighborhood.
