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 Section 50286.
This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 1/2) percent by
Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the property at the time of

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.
C. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
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
-4-
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
1001 North Olive Street
Santa Ana, CA 92703
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.
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.

a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 1001 North Olive Street,
Assessor Parcel Number, 405-284-13, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in the City of
Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.

under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of this
Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that will
accrue to Owner as a result of the effect upon the assessed value of the Property on the account of
the restrictions on the use and preservation of the Property.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission
Revival vocabulary, popular between 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 decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Freund House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Mission Revival
architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Freund House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Mission Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit, for the address range 1001-1003 North Olive Street, is dated September 8, 1924 and indicates it was built as
double apartments and garages, at a cost of $6, 000. The original architect and builder are unknown. At an unknown date, the
residential unit fronting loth Street changed addresses from 1003 North Olive Street to 915 West loth Street. Because of the
unclear address history, city directory research was only completed for the 1001 North Olive Street address. The earliest
known occupant is Charles Freund, who is listed on the original building permit for 1001 North Olive Street. City directories
note Mr. Freund as the building's owner through 1926. An obituary article notes Freund was an interior decorator that had lived
in Santa Ana between 1918 and 1945, the year he died (The Register, August 23, 1945). In 1927, T T Lackey and in 1930, J
R Ott resided at the subject property. Mrs. K A O'Brien is listed from circa 1933-1935. Tenant Bales Redmond is noted in 1936.
By 1937, R U Smith occupied the unit. City directories note G W Wilkins from circa 1940-1945, and a newspaper article notes
Wilkins remained through 1949 (The Register, March 10, 1949). There was no directory available for 1948. In 1949 Mrs. E
Hollingsworth is identified as a building tenant, who remained until she died in 1956 (The Register, October 22, 1956). P V

*P3a. Description (continued):
Both primary (west and south) facades contain one tripartite window adjacent to the front porch (Figure 4). The window is
composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights that
flank a large fixed wood window. The tripartite's fixed central window on the primary (west) fagade contains Prairie style divided
upper lights while the primary (south) fixed window had no muntins. A shed roof clad in clay tiles projects above the tripartite
window on the primary (west) fagade (Figure 5). Window fenestration along the primary (south), east, and north fagades include
double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights (Figure 6). Additional windows include a single
wood hopper window on the primary (south) fagade, a fixed wood window and five double -hung wood windows without Prairie
style divided lights at the north (side) fagade, and two double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided lights at the east
(side) fagade.
Both residential units contains a detached single -car garage, situated at the property's north boundary. Particular to only the
primary (west) fagade is a wingwall porte-cochere that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for
vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for pedestrians (Figure 7). The primary (south) fagade's garage
parapet is joined to the main residential building, creating an illusion that it is attached to the residence. The property is
landscaped with a variety of small and medium-sized vegetation and trees such as palm trees, cactus, and agave.
*B10. Significance (continued):
According to city directories, 1001 N Olive Street was occupied by LM Brozenick in 1960. Two newspaper articles describe Lou
Brozenick's extensive wood working hobby. In the late 1950s through 1970s, Brozenick worked on creating a wall -sized world
map made out of wood, using wood specific to each country. The project took 17 years to complete due to difficulties with
obtaining directly sourced wood from each country. A 1966 article notes that Brozenick worked on this project at his apartment
at 10071 Lampson, Garden Grove, after living in Santa Ana. Therefore his artistic affiliations are not related to the subject
property at 1001 North Olive Street (The Register, September 11, 1966 and December 4, 1975). The years 1963-1987 do not
include the subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not available for research. A newspaper article mentions
Mrs. Emily Jane Hayhurst as a resident of 915 W 101" Street in 1965, who passed away that year (The Register, June 16,
1965). Historic building permits identify Joel Tardiff as building owner from at least 1975-1978. Permit history and directories
reveal John Harwood owned the property from circa 1981-2003. By 2020, Steven Wayne Lively sold the property to current
owners Palm Springs Deepwell Modern, LLC, represented by Kevin Shuler and Brian Stoddart. No pertinent information was
uncovered regarding the former owners and tenants during the time of ownership/occupancy of 1001 North Olive Street.
The Freund House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West
Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol
Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the
landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic
Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by
1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the
development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the
next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the
standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War Il.
During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according
to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of
Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying
demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.
The Freund House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example
of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $6,000 to build in 1924. The
recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square
and is a representative example of Mission Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)).
Character -defining features of the Mission Revival style exhibited by the house include its rectangular -shaped plan; two primary
(west and south) facades; asymmetrical design; parapet roof that wraps around the entire building; no extended eaves; smooth
stucco cladding; main entrance to each unit located within a front porch and is composed of a single glazed wood door with a
Prairie style muntin pattern; large fixed wood window with Prairie style upper divided lights; raised front porches with wide
arches; tripartite window adjacent to the front porch composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with
ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights flanking a large fixed wood window; shed roof clad in clay tiles at the primary
(west) fagade; double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and (some windows with or without); Prairie style divided upper
lights; single hopper window on primary (south) fagade; two detached single -car garages; primary (west) fagade porte-cochere
that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or
wingwall, for pedestrians; small and medium vegetation and landscape.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2025-02
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2025-02 (Exhibit 1); and
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kevin Shuler and Brian Stoddart representing Palm Springs Deepwell Modern, LLC, are
requesting approval to designate an existing Mission Revival style multifamily residence
located at 1001 North Olive 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. The property
qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
an intact example of a Mission Revival style multifamily building. It is worthy of
"Contributive" categorization because it contributes to the overall character and history of
the Washington Square neighborhood and is a representative example of Mission Revival
architecture in Santa Ana, including its parapet roof, open porches with wide arches, and
red tile shed roof, among other features.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on a corner lot with Olive Street to the west and Tenth
Street to the south, in the Washington Square neighborhood. The site contains a 1,564-
square-foot, Mission Revival style multifamily residence (addressed 1001 North Olive
Street and 915 West Tenth Street and referred to collectively as 1001 North Olive Street"

(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 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 101 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Freund House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Mission Revival
style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit, for the address range 1001-1003
North Olive Street, is dated September 8, 1924, and indicates it was built as double
apartments and garages, at a cost of $6,000. The original architect and builder are
unknown. At an unknown date, the residential unit fronting Tenth Street changed
addresses from 1003 North Olive Street to 915 West Tenth Street. Because of the unclear
address history, city directory research was only completed for the 1001 North Olive
Street address. The earliest known occupant is Charles Freund, who is listed on the
original building permit for 1001 North Olive Street. City directories note Mr. Freund as
the building's owner through 1926. An obituary article notes Freund was an interior
decorator that had lived in Santa Ana between 1918 and 1945, the year he died (The
Register, August 23, 1945). In 1927, T. T. Lackey and in 1930, J. R. Ott resided at the
subject property. Mrs. K. A. O'Brien is listed from circa 1933-1935. Tenant Bales
Redmond is noted in 1936. By 1937, R. U. Smith occupied the unit. City directories note
G. W. Wilkins from circa 1940-1945, and a newspaper article notes Wilkins remained
through 1949 (The Register, March 10, 1949). There was no directory available for 1948.
In 1949 Mrs. E. Hollingsworth is identified as a building tenant, who remained until she
died in 1956 (The Register, October 22, 1956). P. V. Plummer also occupied the unit in
1956 (See Continuation Sheet 3).

According to city directories, 1001 North Olive Street was occupied by L. M. Brozenick in
1960. Two newspaper articles describe Lou Brozenick's extensive wood working hobby.
In the late 1950s through 1970s, Brozenick worked on creating a wall -sized world map
made out of wood, using wood specific to each country. The project took 17 years to
complete due to difficulties with obtaining directly sourced wood from each country. A
1966 article notes that Brozenick worked on this project at his apartment at 10071
Lampson Avenue, Garden Grove, after living in Santa Ana. Therefore, his artistic
affiliations are not related to the subject property at 1001 North Olive Street (The Register,
September 11, 1966 and December 4, 1975). The years 1963-1987 do not include the
subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not available for research. A
newspaper article mentions Mrs. Emily Jane Hayhurst as a resident of 915 West Tenth
Street in 1965, who passed away that year (The Register, June 16, 1965). Historic
building permits identify Joel Tardiff as building owner from at least 1975-1978. Permit
history and directories reveal John Harwood owned the property from circa 1981-2003.
By 2020, Steven Wayne Lively sold the property to current owners Palm Springs
Deepwell Modern, LLC, represented by Kevin Shuler and Brian Stoddart. No pertinent
information was uncovered regarding the former owners and tenants during the time of
ownership/occupancy of 1001 North Olive Street.
Located on a corner parcel in Washington Square, the Freund House is a one-story,
Mission Revival style multifamily residence. The main residential building has two primary
facades. The primary (west) fagade contains the entrance to the unit addressed as 1001
North Olive Street and the primary (south) fagade contains the entrance to the unit
addressed as 915 West Tenth Street. Asymmetrical in design, the building features a
rectangular -shaped plan with a parapet roof that wraps around the entire building,
concealing the flat, built-up roof. The roof has no extended eaves. The exterior of the
multifamily building is clad in smooth stucco. The main entrance to each unit is located
within a front porch and is composed of a single glazed wood door with a Prairie style
muntin pattern. Adjacent to each entrance door is a large fixed wood window with Prairie
style upper divided lights. Both porches are raised above two shallow concrete -clad steps
and contain wide arches.
Both primary (west and south) facades contain one tripartite window adjacent to the front
porch. The window is composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood
windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights that flank a large fixed wood
window. The tripartite's fixed central window on the primary (west) facade contains Prairie
style divided upper lights while the primary (south) fixed window had no muntins. A shed
roof clad in clay tiles projects above the tripartite window on the primary (west) fagade.
Window fenestration along the primary (south), east, and north facades include double -
hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights. Additional
windows include a single wood hopper window on the primary (south) fagade, a fixed
wood window and five double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided lights at

the north (side) fagade, and two double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided
lights at the east (side) fagade.
Both residential units contain a detached single -car garage, situated at the property's
north boundary. Particular to only the primary (west) fagade is a porte-cochere that
extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for vehicular access
and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for pedestrians. The primary (south) fagade's
garage parapet is joined to the main residential building, creating an illusion that it is
attached to the residence. The property is landscaped with a variety of small and medium-
sized vegetation and trees such as palm trees, cactus, and agave.
Character -defining features of the Freund House include, but may not be limited to: its
rectangular -shaped plan; two primary (west and south) facades; asymmetrical design;
parapet roof that wraps around the entire building; no extended eaves; smooth stucco
cladding; main entrance to each unit located within a front porch and is composed of a
single glazed wood door with a Prairie style muntin pattern; large fixed wood window with
Prairie style upper divided lights; raised front porches with wide arches; tripartite window
adjacent to the front porch composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood
windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights flanking a large fixed wood
window; shed roof clad in clay tiles at the primary (west) fagade; double -hung wood
windows with ogee lugs and (some windows with or without) Prairie style divided upper
lights; single hopper window on primary (south) fagade; two detached single -car garages;
primary (west) fagade porte-cochere that extends across the north driveway, containing
an arched entrance for vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for
pedestrians; small and medium vegetation and landscape. The Freund House qualifies
for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square,
the house cost $6,000 to build in 1924. The recommended categorization is "Contributive"
because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is
a representative example of Mission Revival architecture 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
• A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
• Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
• Discouraging 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 subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached
Work Plan.
Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial
ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: exterior painting, landscaping,
and general maintenance. Staff suggests adding the following items to the Work Plan: 1)
remove non -compatible wooden garage gate and wooden pedestrian door at the rear
yard along the west facade; 2) repair west facade exterior stairs at entrance to 1001 North
Olive Street through concrete repair/replacement and new paint; 3) assess front porch
floor at entrance to 1001 North Olive Street and repair as needed; 4) replace rear yard
porch steps (between residence and detached garage at 1001 North Olive Street) with
historically -compatible material; 5) conceal, relocate, or remove wire cover along east
facade of 915 W Tenth Street and assess all exposed pipes and wires throughout the
property and conceal, relocate, or remove as need; and 6) replace two (2) metal -frame
windows at rear doors (each located at the rear entrance of each unit) with wood -frame
window. Planning Division staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively
and will maintain the property's character -defining features as part of the Mills Act
Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character -defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, it is
recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to
enable the Mills Act.

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.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission
Revival vocabulary, popular between 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 decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Freund House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Mission Revival
architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Freund House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Mission Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit, for the address range 1001-1003 North Olive Street, is dated September 8, 1924 and indicates it was built as
double apartments and garages, at a cost of $6, 000. The original architect and builder are unknown. At an unknown date, the
residential unit fronting 101 Street changed addresses from 1003 North Olive Street to 915 West 101 Street. Because of the
unclear address history, city directory research was only completed for the 1001 North Olive Street address. The earliest
known occupant is Charles Freund, who is listed on the original building permit for 1001 North Olive Street. City directories
note Mr. Freund as the building's owner through 1926. An obituary article notes Freund was an interior decorator that had lived
in Santa Ana between 1918 and 1945, the year he died (The Register, August 23, 1945). In 1927, T T Lackey and in 1930, J
R Ott resided at the subject property. Mrs. K A O'Brien is listed from circa 1933-1935. Tenant Bales Redmond is noted in 1936.
By 1937, R U Smith occupied the unit. City directories note G W Wilkins from circa 1940-1945, and a newspaper article notes
Wilkins remained through 1949 (The Register, March 10, 1949). There was no directory available for 1948. In 1949 Mrs. E
Hollingsworth is identified as a building tenant, who remained until she died in 1956 (The Register, October 22, 1956). P V
Plummer also occupied the unit in 1956 (See Continuation Sheet 3).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Both primary (west and south) facades contain one tripartite window adjacent to the front porch (Figure 4). The window is
composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights that
flank a large fixed wood window. The tripartite's fixed central window on the primary (west) fagade contains Prairie style divided
upper lights while the primary (south) fixed window had no muntins. A shed roof clad in clay tiles projects above the tripartite
window on the primary (west) fagade (Figure 5). Window fenestration along the primary (south), east, and north fagades include
double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights (Figure 6). Additional windows include a single
wood hopper window on the primary (south) fagade, a fixed wood window and five double -hung wood windows without Prairie
style divided lights at the north (side) fagade, and two double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided lights at the east
(side) fagade.
Both residential units contains a detached single -car garage, situated at the property's north boundary. Particular to only the
primary (west) fagade is a wingwall porte-cochere that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for
vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for pedestrians (Figure 7). The primary (south) fagade's garage
parapet is joined to the main residential building, creating an illusion that it is attached to the residence. The property is
landscaped with a variety of small and medium-sized vegetation and trees such as palm trees, cactus, and agave.
*1310. Significance (continued):
According to city directories, 1001 N Olive Street was occupied by LM Brozenick in 1960. Two newspaper articles describe Lou
Brozenick's extensive wood working hobby. In the late 1950s through 1970s, Brozenick worked on creating a wall -sized world
map made out of wood, using wood specific to each country. The project took 17 years to complete due to difficulties with
obtaining directly sourced wood from each country. A 1966 article notes that Brozenick worked on this project at his apartment
at 10071 Lampson, Garden Grove, after living in Santa Ana. Therefore his artistic affiliations are not related to the subject
property at 1001 North Olive Street (The Register, September 11, 1966 and December 4, 1975). The years 1963-1987 do not
include the subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not available for research. A newspaper article mentions
Mrs. Emily Jane Hayhurst as a resident of 915 W 10"' Street in 1965, who passed away that year (The Register, June 16,
1965). Historic building permits identify Joel Tardiff as building owner from at least 1975-1978. Permit history and directories
reveal John Harwood owned the property from circa 1981-2003. By 2020, Steven Wayne Lively sold the property to current
owners Palm Springs Deepwell Modern, LLC, represented by Kevin Shuler and Brian Stoddart. No pertinent information was
uncovered regarding the former owners and tenants during the time of ownership/occupancy of 1001 North Olive Street.
The Freund House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West
Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol
Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the
landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic
Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by
1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the
development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the
next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the
standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War ll.
During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according
to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of
Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying
demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.
The Freund House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example
of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $6,000 to build in 1924. The
recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square
and is a representative example of Mission Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)).
Character -defining features of the Mission Revival style exhibited by the house include its rectangular -shaped plan; two primary
(west and south) facades; asymmetrical design; parapet roof that wraps around the entire building; no extended eaves; smooth
stucco cladding; main entrance to each unit located within a front porch and is composed of a single glazed wood door with a
Prairie style muntin pattern; large fixed wood window with Prairie style upper divided lights; raised front porches with wide
arches; tripartite window adjacent to the front porch composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with
ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights flanking a large fixed wood window; shed roof clad in clay tiles at the primary
(west) fagade; double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and (some windows with or without); Prairie style divided upper
lights; single hopper window on primary (south) fagade; two detached single -car garages; primary (west) fagade porte-cochere
that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or
wingwall, for pedestrians; small and medium vegetation and landscape.

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, and such design is compatible with

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.

4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested which
may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of 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 Section 50286.
This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 '/2) percent by
Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the 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

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.

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.
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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission
Revival vocabulary, popular between 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 decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival
architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3

The Worswick House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit is dated January 1923 and indicates it was built as a residence and garage, at a cost of $4,000. The
original architect, builder, and owner was A. H. Worswick, who is listed on the original building permit as the owner, and
noted in newspaper advertisements as the property's designer and builder. A 1923 newspaper advertisement titled, "Beautiful
New Spanish Bungalow, " states, "This most attractive home is stuccoed with everlasting magnesite, the most approved
exterior plaster. Two large porches have cement the floors to match roofing tile... This is a truly artistic home, designed for
comfort and convenience, built with care and convenience --and charmingly located" (The Register, May 3, 1923). Orange
County Archives (OCA) reveal that the Worswick family generally owned the property until 1928, despite some short-lived lot
transactions between the Worswicks and McFaddens. (See Continuation Sheet 3).

Reynolds, who then sold to Steven A. and Christine M. Emmons in 1978. City directories were unavailable for the years
1963-1978. By 1983, the Emmons sold to Douglas K. and Betty J. Pinnecker who then sold to Monica M. Marchman in 1988.
One year later, Marchman sold to Paul A. Pereira and Deborah L. Poole. The house went into default and by 1995, the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. sold to Alan Lee, who then sold the property to an investment company in 1998. In
1998, Ramiro and Olga Vernonica Tavares owned the property and from 1999-2003 it was owned by Raul Ramirez (later
jointly owned with Michael Davis). In 2003, Deborah Ann Capalety purchased the property (later known as the Robert and
Deborah Ann Capalety Trust), who remained the owner until 2022, when it was purchased by current owners Robert James
and Alma Cristina Manson. No other information was uncovered.
The Worswick House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West
Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol
Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting
the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now
Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed
much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the
development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over
the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were
the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World
War Il. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes
according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A
Neighborhood of Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and
the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.

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

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 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 102 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Worswick House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish
Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated January 1923 and
indicates it was built as a residence and garage, at a cost of $4,000. The original architect,
builder, and owner was A. H. Worswick, who is listed on the original building permit as
the owner, and noted in newspaper advertisements as the property's designer and
builder. A 1923 newspaper advertisement titled, "Beautiful New Spanish Bungalow,"
states, "This most attractive home is stuccoed with everlasting magnesite, the most
approved exterior plaster. Two large porches have cement tile floors to match roofing
tile ... This is a truly artistic home, designed for comfort and convenience, built with care
and convenience --and charmingly located" (The Register, May 3, 1923). Orange County
Archives (OCA) reveal that the Worswick family generally owned the property until 1928,
despite some short-lived lot transactions between the Worswicks and McFaddens. In
1924, A. L. Olinger moved into the subject property and is listed in city directories as the
occupant through 1926. In 1927, city directories list H. W. Sweasy as the primary
occupant and OCA notes Mrs. Mason Yould also lived there that same year and through
1929. In 1928, the Worswicks sold to Ruth Marr Gay. In 1930, C. E. Terry is listed as
another occupant in city directories. In 1933, the tenant is noted as C. I. Reagan in city
directories and as Donald Wolfe Massie in the OCA. From circa 1935-1937, E. B. Kruger
resided at the property. In 1939, Gay sold the property to Jennie U. and Bert C. Lowen.
By circa 1940, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. DeForest, grain dealer, occupied the residence. In
1943, the Lowens sold to Thomas W. and Lucile S. Patterson, and the Patternsons sold
to Joseph M. and Harry S. Burman that same year. The Burmans continued to make
several land transactions amongst various Burman family members in 1943. According

to OCA, in 1944 Harry Burman sold his company "A-1 Cleaners and Laundry" to his wife
Ann Burman and her two brothers. At the time, A-1 Cleaners had four downtown Santa
Ana locations and a production plant at Stafford and Santiago streets. Following the sale,
Harry Burman purchased from Robert Ramsey the Dixie Castle nightclub, which was
located then on Highway 101 (today known as the 1-5 Freeway). In 1945, Mrs. Ann
Burman is noted as the property owner in city directories. In 1945, Ann Burman and
Michael Gole (partial interest owner) sold to Fred N. and Hazel R. Warren. Fred Warren,
wallpaper hanger, resided at the subject property through 1947. The Warrens sold the
property in 1947 to Oscar and Clara Stevens. Oscar Steven is noted as the property
owner through 1968. Building occupants included Archie M. Monson, in 1959, and John
J. Strizel in 1967. Stevens died in 1968 and the lot was purchased by Jean Nossum in
1972. In 1975, Nossum sold to Curtis J. and Barbara S. Reynolds, who then sold to
Steven A. and Christine M. Emmons in 1978.
City directories were unavailable for the years 1963-1978. By 1983, the Emmons sold to
Douglas K. and Betty J. Pinnecker who then sold to Monica M. Marchman in 1988. One
year later, Marchman sold to Paul A. Pereira and Deborah L. Poole. The house went into
default and by 1995, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. sold to Alan Lee, who then
sold the property to an investment company in 1998. In 1998, Ramiro and Olga Vernonica
Tavares owned the property and from 1999-2003 it was owned by Raul Ramirez (later
jointly owned with Michael Davis). In 2003, Deborah Ann Capalety purchased the property
(later known as the Robert and Deborah Ann Capalety Trust), who remained the owner
until 2022, when it was purchased by current owners Robert James and Alma Cristina
Manson. No other information was uncovered.
The Worswick House is a one story, single-family, Spanish Revival style residence
located on a moderately -sized parcel in the Washington Square neighborhood. The
asymmetrical residence exhibits a square -shaped plan with a parapet roof clad in clay tile
coping that wraps around the entire building, concealing the flat, built-up roof. The roof
has no extended eaves. The exterior of the house is clad in a smooth, 30/30 sand stucco
finish. The primary (west) fagade is divided into four bays. A Palladian wood window and
arched partially enclosed patio with the building's main entrance encompasses the
northern two bays. The Palladian window has what appears to be two casement windows
with a centered fixed window and divided lights at all three window segments, located
behind a low, wrought iron balconet. The main entrance door is composed of a single,
wood paneled door. The southern third and fourth bays each contain a multi -light
casement wood window with a prominent wood sill.
Fenestration throughout the property primarily includes wood -frame, multi -light windows
and doors, with the exception of a non -original partially glazed wood door with metal
window frames at the rear (west) fagade. Window operation consists of casement, hung,
and awning types. Hung style windows throughout the residence primarily have a four -
over -one style muntin pattern.

The property contains a one -car, detached garage at the site's southeast corner. A
parapet roof clad in clay tile coping wraps around the entire building, concealing the flat,
built-up roof. The roof has no extended eaves. The exterior is clad in a smooth, 30/30
sand stucco finish to match the main residence. At the west (primary) fagade, the garage
has a pair of wooden French doors with divided lights and colorful tile trim. A single, vinyl
slider window is located at the garage's north (side) fagade.
Additional architectural features include an arched decorative alter below the primary
front -facing gable at the primary (west) fagade, stucco -clad chimney and open patio with
a partial wood trellis at the south (side) fagade, two asphalt -clad shed roofs and concrete
porch steps at the rear (east) fagade, clay tile walkway between the sidewalk and the
porch steps of the main building entrance, and clay tiles at the south patio. The property
is landscaped with a synthetic front lawn, low shrubs, palm trees and a fruit tree.
Character -defining features of the Worswick House include, but may not be limited to:
asymmetrical fagade; parapet roof clad in clay tile coping that wraps around the entire
building, concealing the flat, built-up roof; roof with no extended eaves; smooth, 30/30
sand stucco finish; primary (west) fagade divided into four bays; Palladian wood window
with wrought iron balconet at primary fagade; arched partially enclosed patio with the
building's main entrance; main entrance door is composed of a single, wood paneled

throughout the residence primarily with a four -over -one style muntin pattern; one -car,
detached garage; arched decorative alter below the primary front -facing gable at the
primary (west) fagade; stucco -clad chimney; and front yard lawn and landscaping. The
Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana.
Located in Washington Square, the house cost $4,000 to build in 1923. The
recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall
character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish
Revival architecture 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
• A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
• Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
• Discouraging 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 subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached
Work Plan.
Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial
ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: new roof and general
maintenance. Staff suggests adding the following items to the Work Plan: 1) address
metal flashing at roofline: fix the uneven metal flashing at the primary front -facing gable
of the west fagade and along the south fagade; 2) inspect all windows and window trim,
ensure all windows are in good working condition, and repair or replace windows and
window trim, in -kind with matching material, as needed; 3) paint the single garage window
trim with a darker color to match the window frame colors on the main residence; 4) during
time of reroof, metal flashing along the entire residential building shall be assessed by
Planning Division staff, with potential requirement for new flashing during reroof, or
complete concealment of existing flashing, per the discretion of Planning Division staff;
and 5) replace rear (east) door with period -appropriate door, subject to Planning Division
staff review and approval. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively
and will maintain the property's character -defining features as part of the Mills Act
Agreement for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character -defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, it is
recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to
enable the Mills Act.

4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested which
may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of 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 Section 50286.
This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 %2) percent by
Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the 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

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.

determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.

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.
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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission
Revival vocabulary, popular between 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 decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival
architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3

bays. A Palladian wood window and arched partially enclosed patio with the building's main entrance encompase the
northern two bays. The Palladian window has what appears to be two casement windows with a centered fixed window and
divided lights at all three window segments, located behind a low, wrought iron balconet (Figure 2). The main entrance door
is composed of a single, wood paneled door. The southern third and fourth bays each contain a multilight casement wood
window with a prominent wood sill (Figure 3). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.)

The Worswick House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit is dated January 1923 and indicates it was built as a residence and garage, at a cost of $4,000. The
original architect, builder, and owner was A. H. Worswick, who is listed on the original building permit as the owner, and
noted in newspaper advertisements as the property's designer and builder. A 1923 newspaper advertisement titled, "Beautiful
New Spanish Bungalow," states, "This most attractive home is stuccoed with everlasting magnesite, the most approved
exterior plaster. Two large porches have cement tile floors to match roofing tile ... This is a truly artistic home, designed for
comfort and convenience, built with care and convenience --and charmingly located" (The Register, May 3, 1923). Orange
County Archives (OCA) reveal that the Worswick family generally owned the property until 1928, despite some short-lived lot
transactions between the Worswicks and McFaddens. (See Continuation Sheet 3).

*1310. Significance (continued):
In 1924, A L Olinger moved into the subject property and is listed in city directories as the occupant through 1926. In 1927,
city directories list H W Sweasy as the primary occupant and OCA note Mrs. Mason Yould also lived there that same year
and through 1929. In 1928, the Worswicks sold to Ruth Marr Gay. In 1930, C E Terry is listed as another occupant in City
Directories. In 1933, the tenant is noted as C I Reagan in city directories and as Donald Wolfe Massie in the OCA. From circa
1935 - 1937, E B Kruger resided at the property. In 1939, Gay sold the property to Jennie U. and Bert C. Lowen. By circa
1940, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W DeForest, grain dealer, occupied the residence. In 1943, the Lowens sold to Thomas W. and
Lucile S. Patterson, and the Patternsons sold to Joseph M. and Harry S. Burman that same year. The Burmans continued to
make several land transactions amongst various Burman family members in 1943. According to OCA, in 1944 Harry Burman
sold his company A-1 Cleaners and Laundry" to his wife Ann Burman and her two brothers. At the time, A-1 Cleaners had
four downtown Santa Ana locations and a production plant at Stafford and Santiago. Following the sale, Harry Burman
purchased from Robert Ramsey the Dixie Castle nightclub, which was located then on Highway 101 (today known as the 1-5
Freeway). In 1945, Mrs. Ann Burman is noted as the property owner in city directories. In 1945, Ann Burman and Michael
Gole (partial interest owner) sold to Fred N. and Hazel R. Warren. Fred Warren, wallpaper hanger, resided at the subject
property through 1947. The Warrens sold the property in 1947 to Oscar and Clara Stevens. Oscar Steven is noted as the
property owner through 1968. Building occupants included Archie M. Monson, in 1959, and John J. Strizel in 1967. Stevens
died in 1968 and the lot was purchased by Jean Nossum in 1972. In 1975, Nossum sold to Curtis J. and Barbara S.
Reynolds, who then sold to Steven A. and Christine M. Emmons in 1978. City directories were unavailable for the years
1963-1978. By 1983, the Emmons sold to Douglas K. and Betty J. Pinnecker who then sold to Monica M. Marchman in 1988.
One year later, Marchman sold to Paul A. Pereira and Deborah L. Poole. The house went into default and by 1995, the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. sold to Alan Lee, who then sold the property to an investment company in 1998. In
1998, Ramiro and Olga Vernonica Tavares owned the property and from 1999-2003 it was owned by Raul Ramirez (later
jointly owned with Michael Davis). In 2003, Deborah Ann Capalety purchased the property (later known as the Robert and
Deborah Ann Capalety Trust), who remained the owner until 2022, when it was purchased by current owners Robert James
and Alma Cristina Manson. No other information was uncovered.
The Worswick House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West
Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol
Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting
the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now
Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed
much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the
development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over
the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were
the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World
War ll. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes
according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A
Neighborhood of Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and
the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.

The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $4, 000 to build in
1923. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of
Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2(3)). Character -defining features of the Spanish Revival style exhibited by the house include its square -
shaped plan; asymmetrical fagade; parapet roof clad in clay the coping that wraps around the entire building, concealing the
flat, built-up roof, roof with no extended eaves; smooth, 30130 sand stucco finish; primary (west) fagade divided into four
bays; Palladian wood window with wrought iron balconet at primary fagade; arched partially enclosed patio with the building's
main entrance; main entrance door is composed of a single, wood paneled door; two multilight casement wood windows with
a prominent wood sill at the primary fagade; remaining fenestration including wood -frame, multi -light windows and doors with
window operation consisting of casement, hung, and awning types; hung -style windows throughout the residence primarily
with a four -over -one style muntin pattern; one -car, detached garage; arched decorative alter below the primary front -facing
gable at the primary (west) fagade; stucco -clad chimney; Hollywood driveay, and front yard lawn and landscaping.

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, and such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or

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.
