Additionally, it is eligible for the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties for its association with a foreign ruling family, the Holkars of Indore, India. The Maharajah of Indore was the hereditary ruler of a central Indian state. Constructed in 1938, the structure is eligible to be placed within the Landmark category for its unique architectural significance as an intact example of the Art Moderne style as well as its historical/cultural significance to the City as a "castle" for a sitting ruler. This unique two-story stucco residence has a flat roof accented by a thin parapet band that emphasizes the horizontal lines and "T" shaped cubic architectural design. Other characteristic style features are the cut away building corners that create second floor terraces, multi-light casement windows and the window grilles and canopies.
