Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
November 2, 2023
Topic: HRCA No. 2023-18, HRC No. 2023-5, HPPA No. 2023-11 – Rogers-Mansfield
House (1607 North Freeman Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-18
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2023-5 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council
to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Daniel and Robbyn Taylor, subject to
non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Daniel and Robbyn Taylor are requesting approval to designate an existing Minimal
Traditional style residence located at 1607 North Freeman 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 is worthy of local designation as “Key” status
because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Minimal
Traditional style in Santa Ana, along with rare wood shingle siding.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of North Freeman Street in Santa Ana’s
Washington Square neighborhood. The site contains a 1,335-square-foot, Minimal

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 75 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Rogers-Mansfield House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a
Minimal Traditional style house in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was
built in 1948 for approximately $10,000, for Emmet C. Rogers; however, the original
architect and builder are unknown. Emmet C. Rogers was a local contractor who sold lots
and built homes in Santa Ana. Mr. Rogers only resided at the property for one year or
less as John N. Mansfield is listed as the owner by 1949. City Directories show Mr.
Mansfield owned the property from 1949 until at least 1960. City Directories are
unavailable between 1961and1979. Criss-Cross Directories between 1980 and 1998
show the subject address but do not include a property tenant or owner name. By 1999,
the subject property was owned by Paul Williamson, who owned the property until at least
2008, the date of the last available directory. The current owners Daniel and Robbyn
Taylor have owned and resided in the subject property since 2022. No additional
information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.
The Rogers-Mansfield House is a one-story, single-family, Minimal Traditional Style
residence located on a modestly sized parcel in Santa Ana’s Washington Square
neighborhood. The residence exhibits an L-shaped plan with a medium-pitch roof clad in
replacement asphalt shingles and shallow eaves. While primarily side-gabled, a front-
gable projects at the primary (west) façade along with a flat front porch roof projection.
The exterior of the house is clad in wood shingles. Wood windows with a prominent wood
window sill and trim are located on all building facades. The front porch is supported by
a single, slender wood post on a raised concrete platform accessible by two concrete

steps. The main entrance, located under the front porch, faces south and is composed of
a four panel replacement door with four upper lights.
Fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes three window bays. The front gable
displays a large, fixed wood window flanked by two double-hung wood windows with a
four-over-four muntin pattern. Along the side-gable of the primary (west) façade is the
same double-hung style window and muntin pattern in both paired and singular form. The
north, south, and rear (east) façade window pattern is composed of a mix of one-over-
one double-hung wood windows and four-over-four double-hung wood windows. The
building’s southeast (rear) corner contains a covered porch supported by a slender wood
post and a raised concrete platform. A single pedestrian wood door and upper light,
located behind a metal security door, is tucked within the rear porch. Additional
architectural features include a concrete driveway with a concrete path leading to the front
porch, brick chimney at the north (side) façade, as well as vents at the gable ends. The
rear yard contains a single-story, detached garage clad in wood shingle siding to match
the main residence. The garage features an asphalt shingle roof, metal roll-up garage
door, and a single pedestrian wood door with an operable upper light. The property is
landscaped with a front lawn, two mature trees, and rose bushes near the front porch.
Character-defining features of the Rogers-Mansfield House include, but may not be
limited to: L-shaped plan; single-story massing; side-gable body with prominent front-
gable; medium-pitch roof with shallow eaves; wood shingle siding; original wood windows
with a prominent wood window sill and trim are located on all building facades; front and
rear porch, each supported by a single wood post located on a raised concrete platform;
main entrance located within front porch; brick chimney; overall lack of ornamentation;
front yard lawn with landscaping including two mature trees; and a detached garage
featuring wood shingle siding and a single pedestrian door with operable light.
The Rogers-Mansfield House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional style home in
Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive
architectural style and quality reflective of the Minimal Traditional style, along with rare
wood shingle siding. This category is reserved for structures exemplifying greater
architectural significance than the “Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to
the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy
of “Key” status due to the building’s Minimal Traditional style and quality craftsmanship
which features simple massing and lack of ornamentation; original double-hung wood
windows throughout; and rare wood shingle siding, among other original features.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
HRCA No. 2023-18, HRC 2023-5, HPPA No. 2023-11 – Rogers-Mansfield House (1607
North Freeman Street)

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 of 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.
Overall, future improvements proposed by the homeowners during the initial five years of
the Mills Act Agreement include replacing the non-original front door with a compatible
door. Remaining items to be completed over the course of the first ten years of the Mills
Act Agreement include replacing the front entrance light, and rear, security screen door
with period-appropriate materials. Additionally, the existing bathroom will be updated with
new plumbing, lighting fixtures, tile, and shower glass. The homeowners may add a new
bathroom to the building’s rear, and the roof will be assessed in the coming years to
determine if a reroof is needed. Lastly, maintenance/repair of existing, original wood
windows and wood shingle siding will be a general on-going maintenance task as part of
this Mills Act Agreement. Staff will ensure that all 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. If the homeowners decide to pursue a bathroom addition,
staff will work closely with the owners to ensure that the new design shall meet the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and that the new work will receive
proper entitlement through a Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) and
building permits as necessary.
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

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 ½) 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
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 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.

Street, Assessor Parcel Number, 405-313-05, 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.

and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
pass to and be binding upon Owner’s successors and assigns in title or interest to the Historic

the Historic Property or any portion thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered, and accepted subject to the tenants, restrictions, and reservations expressed in this

(Register). In any real property transaction, the owner of this property or the owner’s
representative shall provide the buyer of this property with notice that the property is listed on

imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Rogers-Mansfield House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Minimal Traditional style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it
has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Minimal Traditional style, along with rare wood shingle
siding (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The Rogers-Mansfield House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional style house in Santa
Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1948 for approximately $10,000, for Emmet C. Rogers; however, the
original architect and builder are unknown. Emmet C. Rogers was a local contractor who sold lots and built homes in Santa
Ana. Mr. Rogers only resided at the property for one year or less as John N Mansfield is listed as the owner by 1949. City
Directories show Mr. Mansfield owned the property from 1949 until at least 1960. City Directories are unavailable between
1961-1979. Criss-Cross Directories between 1980 - 1998 show the subject address but do not include a property tenant or
owner name. By 1999, the subject property was owned by Paul Williamson, who owned the property until at least 2008, the
date of the last available directory. The current owners Daniel and Robbyn Taylor have owned and resided in the subject
property since 2022. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.

The front porch is supported by a single, slender wood post on a raised concrete platform accessible by two concrete steps.
The main entrance, located under the front porch, faces south and is composed of a four panel replacement door with four

primary (west) façade is the same double-hung style window and muntin pattern in both paired and singular form. The north,
south, and rear (east) façade window pattern is composed of a mix of one-over-one double-hung wood windows and four-
over-four double-hung wood windows (Figure 5). The building’s southeast (rear) corner contains a covered porch supported
by a slender wood post and a raised concrete platform. A single pedestrian wood door and upper light, located behind a
metal security door, is tucked within the rear porch (Figure 6). Additional architectural features include a concrete driveway
with a concrete path leading to the front porch, brick chimney at the north (side) façade, as well as vents at the gable ends.
The rear yard contains a single-story, detached garage clad in wood shingle siding to match the main residence. The garage
features an asphalt shingle roof, metal roll-up garage door, and a single pedestrian wood door with an operable upper light
(Figure 7). The property is landscaped with a front lawn, two mature trees, and rose bushes near the front porch.
*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the intersection of Main
and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as
the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to
the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and
orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Rogers-Mansfield 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 II. 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 Rogers-Mansfield House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Minimal Traditional style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $10,000 to
build in 1948. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective
of the Minimal Traditional style, along with rare wood shingle siding (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-
defining features of the Rogers-Mansfield House include, but may not be limited to: L-shaped plan; single-story massing;
side-gable body with prominent front-gable; medium-pitch roof with shallow eaves; wood shingle siding; original wood
windows with a prominent wood window sill and trim are located on all building facades; front and rear porch, each supported
by a single wood post located on a raised concrete platform; main entrance located within front porch; brick chimney; overall
lack of ornamentation; front yard lawn with landscaping including two mature trees; and a detached garage featuring wood
shingle siding and a single pedestrian door with operable light.

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

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 95 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The C.P. Johnson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor
Revival style house in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1928
for approximately $6,500, for C.P. Johnson; however, the original architect and builder
are unknown. From 1929 to 1930, the subject property was occupied by W. W. Ross.
Between 1931 to 1934, L.A. Turner owned and occupied the property. City Directories list
Mrs. Matz Turner as the property owner in 1935. R.W. Ashley occupied the property
between 1936 and 1937. From 1938 to 1941, W. F. Graves owned the property. No
records were available between 1942 and 1944. In 1945, the owner is listed as E.S. Ulves.
The 1946 City Directory was not available. The owner is S.A. Young is listed between the
years 1947 and 1954. By 1955, H.W. McKague owned the property. No owner/occupant
records were available between 1956 and 1959. From 1960 to 1962, E.H. Wilhelmi is
listed as the owner. City directories are unavailable between 1963 and 1979. In 1980 and
1985, the owner is not listed in directories. Grey and Melissa Figge owned the property
circa 1988. The present-day owners, Charles and Julie Lake, have owned the property
since 1989. In 2011, the property's ownership was transferred to a family trust; however
Mr. and Mrs. Lake continue to reside in the property. No additional information was
uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.
The C.P. Johnson House is a one-story-with-attic, single-family, Tudor Revival Style
residence located on a modestly sized parcel in the Floral Park National Register Historic
District. The asymmetrical residence exhibits an irregular-shaped plan with a complex,
multi-gable roof system clad in asphalt shingles. The primary (east) façade contains a
steeply pitched front gable crossed with and a side-gable that has a tiered roofline. Its

steeply pitched roof form is reflective of the French Eclectic style. A central, stucco-clad
chimney that is capped with lattice and asphalt shingle roofing, and a single vent
contained within a decorative dormer, are both located at the primary (east) façade. The
exterior of the house is clad in sand finish stucco. An open brick patio at the primary (east)
facade contains the primary entrance, which is located within a smaller, steeply pitched
front gable. The main entrance is composed of a round wooden door featuring vertical
panels and has an operable arched window behind a wrought iron decorative grill and
metal hardware.
Fenestration on the primary (east) façade moving south to north includes a pair of multi-
light casement wood windows below the primary front gable; a single, wood-framed
leaded-glass square window adjacent to the primary façade; a single, fixed narrow
window with decorative exterior wooden bars; and a larger fixed wood window flanked by
multi-light casement wood windows. The north, south, and rear (west) façade fenestration
pattern is composed of a mix of single, double, and triple casement, multi-light wood
windows; multi-light single and double wood doors; along with casement, single, and
double-hung wood windows. Three dormers are located at the south side façade, one
dormer is at the north side façade, and two dormers are along the rear (west) façade.
Second story dormers along the secondary and rear facades contain paired multi-light
casement wood windows, with the exception of a single fixed wood window on the smaller
south side dormer. All original windows throughout include a prominent wood window sill.
Additional architectural features include a low, stucco-clad wall with asphalt shingle
coping that partially encloses the open patio at the primary (east) façade; a rear porch
covered by a canvas canopy at the rear (west) façade featuring metal railing and a raised
platform; a secondary, stucco-clad chimney along the north façade; decorative moldings
above exterior first floor windows; pronounced and projecting angles within the roof and
often above windows; window canopies; a horizontal slat vent at the primary façade’s
main gable; and round vents at each dormer’s gable end (except for the small, middle
dormer at the south façade). The rear yard contains a single-story detached garage and
a rear pool. The garage’s primary (east) façade is designed with wide horizontal siding
and a wood garage door, and the north (side) façade features narrow horizontal siding
with a single wood window and door. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, two
round brick planters, manicured hedges and shrubs, and medium-sized trees including
two Italian Cypress trees. Brick lines the driveway and open patio at the primary (east)
façade.
Character-defining features of the C.P. Johnson House include, but may not be limited
to: Irregular-shaped building footprint and massing; asymmetrical primary façade;
complex roof form with multi-gable roof system featuring steeply pitched gables and
dormers; large, side-gabled roof visible at the primary façade that is reflective of the
French Eclectic style; central chimney; sand finish stucco siding; open brick patio at
primary façade; primary entrance within a steeply pitched front-facing gable, that features

an arched wood door with an arched, operable light behind decorative wrought-iron grille
and metal hardware; all original wood windows throughout which are primarily multi-pane
casement and double-hung style, as well as a single, leaded glass window; hood
moldings; projecting angles within the roof and often above windows; detached garage;
and front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs.
The C.P. Johnson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival style home in Santa
Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural
style and quality reflective of the Tudor Revival style. This category is reserved for
structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the “Contributive” category,
in addition to contributing to the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa
Ana. The property is worthy of “Key” status due to the building’s Tudor Revival style and
quality craftsmanship which features a steeply-pitched multi-gable roof; multi-light wood
windows; and an arched front door, among other original features.
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.
Overall, future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of

C. The C.P. Johnson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of

Tudor Revival style through its use of steeply pitched multi-gable roof;
asymmetrical primary facade dominated by one prominent front-facing
steeply pitched gable; tall, narrow windows in multiple groups with multi-
pane glazing; arched entrance door; prominent chimney; among other
original features. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has
a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Tudor Revival
style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). This category is reserved
for structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the
“Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to the overall
neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy
of “Key” status due to the building’s Tudor Revival style and quality
craftsmanship which features a steeply-pitched multi-gable roof; multi-light
wood windows; and an arched front door, among other original features.
Character-defining features of the C.P. Johnson House include, but may not
be limited to: Irregular-shaped building footprint and massing; asymmetrical
primary façade; complex roof form with multi-gable roof system featuring

primary façade that is reflective of the French Eclectic style; central
chimney; sand finish stucco siding; open brick patio at primary façade;
primary entrance within a steeply pitched front-facing gable, that features
an arched wood door with an arched, operable light behind decorative
wrought-iron grille and metal hardware; all original wood windows
throughout which are primarily multi-pane casement and double-hung style,
as well as a single, leaded glass window; hood moldings; projecting angles
within the roof and often above windows; detached garage; and front yard
lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs.

Ana Register of Historic Properties pursuant to Section 30-2 of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code.
G. The subject property meets the minimum standards for placement in the Key
category pursuant to Section 30-2.2(2) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code.
H. In addition to meeting the standards for placement in the Key category
pursuant to Section 30-2.2(2) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the
applicant has agreed, as part of the requested Mills Act agreement work
plan, to restoration of select elements described therein within the first five
years of the Agreement’s term.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended actions are exempt from further review under CEQA Guidelines Section
15331, Class 31, as these actions are designed to preserve historical resources.
Categorical Exemption No. ER-2023-105 will be filed for this project.

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:

*P3a. Description (continued):
Fenestration on the primary (east) façade moving south to north includes a pair of multi-light casement wood windows below
the primary front gable; a single, wood-framed leaded-glass square window adjacent to the primary façade; a single, fixed
narrow window with decorative exterior wooden bars; and a larger fixed wood window flanked by multi-light casement wood
windows (Figure 4). The north, south, and rear (west) façade fenestration pattern is composed of a mix of single, double, and
triple casement, multi-light wood windows; multi-light single and double wood doors; along with casement, single, and double-
hung wood windows (Figure 5). Three dormers are located at the south side façade, one dormer is at the north side façade,
and two dormers are along the rear (west) façade. Second story dormers along the secondary and rear facades contain
paired multi-light casement wood windows, with the exception of a single fixed wood window on the smaller south side
dormer (Figure 6). All original windows throughout include a prominent wood window sill.
Additional architectural features include a low, stucco-clad wall with asphalt shingle coping that partially encloses the open
patio at the primary (east) façade; a rear porch covered by a canvas canopy at the rear (west) façade featuring metal railing
and a raised platform; a secondary, stucco-clad chimney along the north façade; hood moldings; pronounced and projecting
angles within the roof and often above windows; window canopies; a horizontal slat vent at the primary façade’s main gable;
and round vents at each dormer’s gable end (except for the small, middle dormer at the south façade). The rear yard contains
a single-story detached garage and a rear pool. The garage’s primary (east) façade is designed with wide horizontal siding
and a wood garage door, and the north (side) façade features narrow horizontal siding with a single wood window and door
(Figure 7). The property is landscaped with a front lawn, two round brick planters, manicured hedges and shrubs, and
medium-sized trees including two Italian Cypress trees. Brick lines the driveway and open patio at the primary (east) façade.
*B10. Significance (continued):
By 1955, H.W. McKague owned the property. No owner/occupant records were available between 1956 and 1959. From
1960 to 1962, E.H. Wilhelmi is listed as the owner. City directories are unavailable between 1963 - 1979. In 1980 and 1985,
the owner is not listed in directories. Grey and Melissa Figge owned the property in Circa 1988. The present-day owners,
Charles and Julie Lake, have owned the property since 1989. In 2011, the property's ownership was transferred to a family
trust, however Mr. and Mrs. Lake continue to reside in the property. No additional information was uncovered regarding the
past owners and tenants.
The C.P. Johnson 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. Developer and 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 Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as
Roy Russell and Son. In the early post World War II 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 (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the
premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The C.P. Johnson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Tudor Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $6,500 to build in 1928. The
recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Tudor Revival
style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the C.P. Johnson House include, but may
not be limited to: Irregular-shaped building footprint and massing; asymmetrical primary façade; complex roof form with multi-
gable roof system featuring steeply pitched gables and dormers; large, side-gabled roof visible at the primary façade that is
reflective of the French Eclectic style; central chimney; sand finish stucco siding; open brick patio at primary façade; primary
entrance within a steeply pitched front-facing gable, that features an arched wood door with an arched, operable light behind

decorative wrought-iron grille and metal hardware; all original wood windows throughout which are primarily multi-pane

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

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.

20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
November 2, 2023
Topic: HEMA No. 2023-08 – The Cypress Fire Station (625 South Cypress Avenue)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2023-08.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Santa Ana (owner and applicant) is requesting approval of Historic Exterior
Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2023-08. Specifically, the request is to allow exterior
modifications consisting of a partial restoration and rehabilitation of the Spanish Colonial
Revival style Cypress Fire Station, which is the oldest fire station in Santa Ana. Built in 1928,
it was originally known as Fire Station No. 4, and is located at 625 South Cypress Avenue.
The exterior restoration scope includes full restoration of the primary (west) façade and
removal of a 964-square-foot non-original and non-contributing rear addition in order to
restore the original building footprint. New interior configurations of the existing space, and
alterations relating to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, will require
rehabilitation of exterior features, including removal/relocation of some doors and windows
on secondary facades. The property was listed as “Key” in 2002 on the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties.

with an attached, non-original and non-compatible enclosed carport addition to the
building’s rear, on a 7,500-square-foot residential lot. The property is comprised of the
oldest fire station in Santa Ana, historically known as Fire Station No. 4. Its historic
resource name/common name is the Cypress Fire Station. The property is also

individually listed as No. 15 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2002 and was categorized as “Key.”
The Cypress Fire Station is a one-story Spanish Colonial Revival building with an L-
shape footprint. The roof is mostly flat except for a small portion that is visible from the
primary (west) façade, which contains an intersecting hipped and gabled roof clad in
clay tiles. The building is clad in stucco and its primary (west) façade is divided into
three bays. The two northern bays feature flattened arches that once contained the
original fire truck double-door entrances. The third, southern bay projects forward and
contains a keyhole opening for the building’s main entrance with a transom window and
arched side lights. Above the main entrance runs a decorative tiled frieze bordered by a
stringcourse with a central rectangular window behind a wrought iron grille. Additional
fenestration is located on the north, south, and rear (east) facades. The front, gabled
portion of the building at both the north and south facades contains notable arched
openings within the stucco wall. A single arched opening at the north façade originally
contained an arched leaded glass window. Two arched openings at the south façade
originally contained a single double-hung window and a single door with upper transom,
both of which were topped with tiles to match the primary façade’s decorative tiled
frieze.
The building’s rear (east) façade contains a nondescript addition at the property’s
northeast corner, with a flat roof that is lower than the historic building. The addition has
a slightly arched south façade parapet. Its roofline is topped with barbed wire and thin
metal fascia, and the body is clad in smooth stucco. Its east façade is composed of a
stucco wall that lacks fenestration and its south façade contains a large infilled stucco
wall that may have previously contained a garage door, along with additional openings
that are presently blocked with security covers. The addition’s north façade is not readily
visible from subject property or the public right-of-way; however, it appears to lack
ornamentation.
Original architectural plans of the subject building do not include the rear addition and
no other plans or building permits were uncovered that confirm the rear addition’s date
of construction. The earliest available historic Sanborn map, dated 1945, indicates that
a rear, one-story patio cover was present at the building’s rear in the same location as
the extant addition. Permit history reveals that an alteration was made in 1958 (with no
additional information uncovered), and a patio cover was permitted in 1972. It is unclear
if the 1972 patio cover relates to the rear addition. No other data was uncovered
regarding the rear addition’s construction or use.
Confirmed alterations to the primary (west) façade include the removal of the following
original features: the “ENGINE COMPANY NO 4” signage, roof materials, and fire truck
doors. The current property condition is poor. All existing window and door openings are
boarded over for security purposes, therefore their current condition is unknown.
Several clay tile roof tiles are broken, the wrought iron grill is bent and partially

damaged, and the decorative tiled frieze requires cleaning. The property lacks
landscaping and vegetation. Additional concrete infill has been added to the front
driveway and walkway areas. Character-defining features of the Cypress Fire Station
that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: one-story height; L-shaped
building footprint (without the rear addition); materials and finishes (stucco); roof
configuration and detailing (red tiles); original windows and doors (including fire truck
doorways), where extant; three bay configuration at the primary (west) façade; flattened
arches at the firetruck entrances and keyhole opening at the building’s primary façade;
architectural detailing such as the decorative tiled frieze bordered by a stringcourse with
central rectangular window and wrought iron grille; and arched wall openings at the
north and south facades that contain a single arched leaded glass window at the north
façade, and a single double-hung window and a single door with upper transom at the
south façade, both of which contain upper tiles to match those on the primary façade.
Project Description
The proposed project consists of partial restoration and rehabilitation of the historic
Cypress Fire Station. The exterior restoration scope includes full restoration of the primary
(west) façade, restoration of the north façade leaded glass window along with restoration
of additional windows at the north, south, and east facades, and removal of a 964-square-
foot non-original and non-contributing rear addition in order to restore the original building
footprint. Tenant improvements, which include new interior configurations of the existing
space, and changes relating to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility
compliance, will require rehabilitation of exterior features, including removal/relocation of
some doors and windows on secondary facades.
The primary (west) façade will be be restored to its original 1928 design. Exterior items
to be restored include the original fire station paired double doors, main entrance with
transom and arched side lights, clay tile roof, stucco siding, decorative frieze tiles with
wrought iron grille, and signage stating “ENGINE COMPANY NO 4.” Existing original
features will be restored throughout the building, in-kind, as feasible. Where deterioration
is beyond repair and/or where original features are no longer extant, those features will
be replaced to match the original design and materials.
The reconfigured interior will allow for a new multi-purpose use. Interior changes include
the removal and addition of new interior walls to create a new entrance/office space along
with three new multi-purpose rooms, new kitchen, new bathrooms, and new janitorial
space. A new hallway will lead to a new secondary exit at the south (side) façade. In order
to accommodate the new south exit, two original double-hung wood windows will be
removed reinstalled at the rear (east) façade. The new south façade door will be designed
to match the door shown on the original architectural plans for the north façade, including
an upper transom window. Two original double-hung windows that were originally placed
lower than the adjacent paired windows will be raised slightly to create a uniform window
height at the south façade. The purpose for this modification is to accommodate a new

interior layout. Originally, an interior wall was located between the two sets of windows,
however the proposed removal of the interior wall will create two pairs of windows at
different window heights. This change will create a uniform design with the remaining
south (side) façade windows. New bathrooms added to the north part of the building’s
interior will require two original door openings with upper transom windows at the north
(side) façade to be infilled with two new windows to match existing double-hung wood
windows. A third new window opening with new window to match existing style and
materials will be added to the north (side) façade as a new bathroom window. These new
bathroom windows will have obscured glass for privacy. One north (side) façade original
window that is currently located within a proposed bathroom adjacent to the rear office,
will be infilled with and relocated to the rear (east) elevation. The rear (east) façade
contains two non-original doors. The southern-most door will be infilled with stucco to
match existing and the northern-most door will be restored to match other secondary
doors, with an upper transom window. The proposed rehabilitation changes are located
at the building’s secondary side and rear facades which avoids the most significant and
character-defining features that are visible at the primary (west) façade.
Additional site improvements that do not require discretionary approval and therefore are
not part of this HEMA application include the following: Non-original concrete infill at the
primary (west) façade will be removed in order to restore the original driveway
configuration. The site will be landscaped with new, compatible planting materials. An
existing, metal front yard fence and gate will be removed and replaced with a compatible
3-foot-tall front yard fence. The materials and design are yet to be determined, but the
fence will be required to be reviewed and approved by Planning Division staff to ensure
compatibility. In order to enhance security, a new, eight-foot-tall CMU block wall will be
added to the property’s rear (east) property line and parts of the north and south rear
property lines. The rear yard will be redesigned with a new basketball court to the south
and two new parking spaces to the north—one of which will be ADA compliant. A new
curb ramp will be adjacent to rear parking, leading to a raised ADA sidewalk with access
to and around the subject building. The property’s rear will be accessible by a new, eight-
foot-tall sliding metal security gate adjacent to an existing alley. The design is also yet to
be determined, but the gate will be required to be reviewed and approved by Planning
Division staff to ensure compatibility.
Analysis of the Issues
As proposed, the project will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for
the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating,
Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer,
revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a combination
rehabilitation and restoration project, and as such be evaluated against ten criteria for
both treatments. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the
SOIS. The rehabilitation standards listed below analyze the proposed tenant
improvements and ADA access project elements that are focused on the side (north and

south) and rear (east) facades. The restoration standards listed below analyze the
proposed primary (west) façade restoration, select window restoration at the secondary
(north and south) and rear (west) facades, and removal of the rear addition. The following
is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria:
1. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 1 - A property will be used as it was historically or
be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials,
features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 1. The subject building was
originally constructed in 1928 as Santa Ana’s Fire Station No. 4, whose interior
configuration featured a front office, apparatus room for fire truck parking, kitchen,
locker room, supply room for storage, dormitory, instrument room, generator room,
rear bedroom and bathroom, and a battery room. Although its use later changed
to a community center, the building footprint has remained intact with the exception
of a rear addition. Although currently vacant, the proposed interior and exterior
changes will accommodate a proposed multi-purpose use, with front and rear
offices, three multi-purpose rooms, interior restrooms, janitor’s room, a rear
kitchen, and two new hallways. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard
No. 1 as the new interior changes will require minimal changes to the distinctive
materials, features, spaces, and special relationships. Doors and window changes
will occur on secondary and rear facades only. At the interior, the large apparatus
room for fire truck parking will be rehabilitated into a multi-purpose room, keeping
the original open layout towards the front (west). The remainder of the rooms will
be rehabilitated into new uses to accommodate the multi-purpose use along with
ADA access, while keeping as close as possible to the original floor plan.
Standard for Restoration No. 1 - A property will be used as it was historically or be
given a new use that interprets the property and its restoration period.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 1 as the primary (west) façade
will be fully restored to its original 1928 design. Although the building will not serve
as its original fire station use, it will continue to be understood as an historic fire
station building through restoration of the fire truck double doors and building
signage reading “ENGINE COMPANY NO 4.”
2. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 2 - The historic character of a property shall be
retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features
and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 2. The historic character of
the subject property will be retained and preserved. The interior tenant
improvement project with new ADA access has been designed to remove as little
historic material as possible and will be located on secondary (north and south)

and rear (east) façades, where it will not be generally visible from the public right-
of-way. The proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary (west) façade,
or any important spatial relationships that characterize the property. Removal of
the non-contributing rear addition will bring the property back to its original
footprint.
Standard for Restoration No. 2 - Materials and features from the restoration period
will be retained and preserved. The removal of materials or alteration of features,
spaces and spatial relationships that characterize the period will not be
undertaken.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 2. Materials and features from
the 1928 restoration period will be retained and preserved on the primary (west)
façade. The clay tile roof will be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled with
replacement tile pieces as needed to match the existing roof. The original
decorative tiled frieze bordered by a stringcourse with a central rectangular window
behind a wrought iron grille will be cleaned and restored as needed. All building
fenestration is currently boarded up for security purposes. If it is determined that
any existing windows and doors are salvageable, they will be restored to their
original design and materials based on the original architectural plans. The original
arched leaded glass window at the north (side) façade will be restored to its original
design. The rear addition will be removed in order to restore the building back to
its original 1928 footprint.
3. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 3 - Each property will be recognized as a physical
record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical
development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic
properties, will not be undertaken.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 3, as conditioned. The
proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The
proposed side and rear façade alterations will require new window and door
openings to accommodate the new internal configuration. As conditioned, the new
windows and doors will be compatible with the historic building but will be distinct
from the originals, in order to not create a false sense of historical development.
Therefore, the new architectural features will read as contemporary, not
conjectural.
Standard for Restoration No. 3 - Each property will be recognized as a physical
record of its time, place and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate and
conserve materials and features from the restoration period will be physically and
visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection and properly documented
for future research.

The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 3, as conditioned. The primary
(west) façade’s restoration will be fully restored. Any items necessary to stabilize,
consolidate, and conserve materials and features from the restoration period will
be physically and visually compatible, such as replacing any broken clay tile roof
in-kind to match originals. As conditioned, all restoration work will be documented
as part of the building’s historical record.
4. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 4 - Changes to a property that have acquired
historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 4. The project will not
remove any significant features that were added over time. The rear addition,
which was added after the building’s 1928 build date (likely between 1945 and
1972), lacks notable architectural features and is not compatible with the historic
building. Therefore, its removal complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 4.
Although interior alterations will be made, the main apparatus room for firetruck
parking will be maintained and reused as a multi-purpose room.
Standard for Restoration No. 4 - Materials, features, spaces and finishes that
characterize other historical periods will be documented prior to their alteration or
removal.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 4, as conditioned. The
proposed restoration project includes restoration of the primary (west) façade
which does not include removal or alteration of materials, features, spaces and
finishes that characterize other historic periods. However, given the unknown state
of all building fenestration, the project will require documentation as part of the
conditions of approval.
5. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 5 - Distinctive features, finishes, and construction
techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be
preserved.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials,
features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize the property will be preserved. The project does not propose to
remove character-defining features or materials/finishes along the primary façade.
The proposed alteration to existing windows and doors, along with new window
and door openings, at the secondary and rear facades are not readily visible from
the public right-of-way.
Standard for Restoration No. 5 - Distinctive materials, features, finishes and
construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the
restoration period will be preserved.

The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials,
features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize the restoration period will be preserved. The project will fully restore
the primary (west) façade and does not propose to remove character-defining
features or materials/finishes along the primary façade. The removal of the non-
compatible rear addition will restore the building back to its original 1928 building
footprint.
6. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 6 - Deteriorated historic features will be repaired
rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of
a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture,
and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be
substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 6. As conditioned,
deteriorated historic features, particularly windows and doors, will be repaired
rather than replaced in locations where they are proposed to remain in-kind. Where
the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and where possible, material.
Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by the original architectural
plans.
Standard for Restoration No. 6 - Deteriorated features from the restoration period
will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design,
color, texture and, where possible, materials.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 6. As conditioned, all original
features at the primary (west) façade, along with the leaded glass window at the
north façade, and original windows and doors at the secondary (north and south)
and rear (east) facades, will be repaired rather than being replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials,
based on historic photographs and original architectural plans.
7. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 7 - Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate,
will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause
damage to historic materials will not be used.
Standard for Rehabilitation No. 7 does not apply as the tenant improvements and
ADA access modifications to the building will not involve chemical or physical
treatments on the rehabilitation portions of the project.

Standard for Restoration No. 7 - Replacement of missing features from the
restoration period will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. A
false sense of history will not be created by adding conjectural features, features
from other properties, or by combining features that never existed together
historically.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 7. The primary (west) façade
will be restored based on photographic evidence and architectural plans of the
original, 1928 façade prior to later modifications. The secondary and rear façade
restoration items will also be based on original architectural plans. A false sense
of history will not be created as no conjectural features, features from other
properties, or combining features that never existed together historically, will be
undertaken.
8. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 8 - Archeological resources will be protected and
preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will
be undertaken.
Standard for Rehabilitation No. 8 does not apply as there are no known
archeological resources onsite.
Standard for Restoration No. 8 - Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate,
will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause
damage to historic materials will not be used.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 8. Chemical or physical
treatments are not currently proposed as part of this project. However, if simple
cleaning does not provide appropriate removal of dirt, the project will be allowed
to undergo possible chemical or physical treatments, as conditioned. These
treatments will cause no damage to historic materials and be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible.
9. Standard for Rehabilitation No. 9 - New additions, exterior alterations, or related
new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial
relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated
from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale
and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its
environment.
The project complies with Standard for Rehabilitation No. 9. The primary (west)
façade will be fully restored and a non-compatible rear addition will be removed.
Exterior alterations to the secondary (north and south) and rear (east) facades will
not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize
the property. Although two original double-hung windows will be removed from the

south (side) façade to make room for a new door and interior hallway, they will be
salvaged and placed at the rear (east) façade. Additionally, the proposal to move
up two windows at the south (side) façade up in line with the adjacent paired
windows is necessary due to the removal of an interior wall, which currently
separates the varied window heights. The majority of the south façade windows
will remain in place or be restored to match the originals, based on their existing
conditions. Additionally, two windows and two doors with transom windows will be
removed from the north (side) in order to accommodate a new interior bathroom
with three new windows. The rear (east) façade will remove two non-original doors.
One of the doors (to the south) will be infilled for Multi-Purpose Room C and the
other door (to the north) will have a new door with upper transom window. All new
doors and windows proposed in new openings will be compatibly designed and
made with materials to match the originals. As conditioned, their design will also
be distinct enough to read as contemporary.
Standard for Restoration No. 9 - Archeological resources affected by a project will
be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed,
mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Standard for Restoration No. 9 does not apply as there are no known archeological
resources onsite.
10.Standard for Rehabilitation No. 10 - New additions and adjacent or related new
construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be
unimpaired.
The project complies with Standard for Rehabilitation No. 10. The proposed tenant
improvements and ADA accessibility modifications are considered generally
reversible, as they does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and
materials. The proposed exterior modifications will be located on secondary and
rear facades, where they are not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and
avoids the most significant and character-defining features. The essential building
form and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired. Although
interior modifications will be made, the overall division of space will remain mostly
intact, along with the large multi-purpose room that formerly served as the
apparatus room.
Standard for Restoration No. 10 - Designs that were never executed historically
will not be constructed.
Restoration Standard No. 10. does not apply as the restoration project does not
include construction of designs that were never executed historically.

In conclusion, staff has determined that the project complies with The Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Restoration. Specifically, the restoration of the primary (west) façade, leaded window at the
north (side) façade and additional windows throughout the secondary facades, along with
the removal of the rear addition, will restore a majority of the Spanish Colonial Revival style
fire station property back to its original 1928 state while allowing for a new use. The minimal
removal of windows and doors on the secondary and rear facades will facilitate the new
tenant improvements along with new ADA access without removing a majority of character-
defining features. By localizing the rehabilitation scope of work to the secondary and rear
facades, away from the primary façade, and by differentiating the new work from the old,
the property will maintain its historic and character-defining features.
The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness
upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and
integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, meet the
Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government
agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification
application meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and
should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and
finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.
Public Notification
The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was
published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property
owners within 500 feet of the project site. In addition, staff contacted the Pacific Park
Neighborhood Association to ensure they were aware of the project and public hearing.
At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, had been
received from any members of the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is
exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as this action is designed in
a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. Based on this analysis, a
Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-108 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Santa Ana will incur all fiscal impacts associated with this action.

A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING
THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 625 SOUTH CYPRESS AVENUE
(HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION APPLICATION NO.
2023-08)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The City of Santa Ana (“Applicant”) is requesting approval of Historic
Exterior Modification Application No. 2023-08 to allow exterior modifications
to the property at 625 South Cypress Avenue, historically known as the
Cypress Fire Station.
B. The legal owner of the property is the City of Santa Ana.
C. The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit
A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
D. The Cypress Fire Station is individually listed as No. 15 on the Santa Ana
Register of Historical Properties and categorized as “Key” in 2002.
A. The Cypress Fire Station was originally built in 1928 and is architecturally
significant as a Spanish Colonial Revival style institutional building, as well
as its association with being the oldest fire station in Santa Ana, originally
known as Fire Station No. 4. Character-defining features of the Cypress Fire
Station that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: one -
story height; L-shaped building footprint (without the rear addition);
materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration and detailing (red tiles);
original windows and doors (including fire truck doorways), where extant;
three bay configuration at the primary (west) façade; flattened arches at the
firetruck entrances and keyhole opening at the building’s primary façade;
architectural detailing such as the decorative tiled frieze bordered by a
stringcourse with central rectangular window and wrought iron grille; and
arched wall openings at the north and south facades that contain a single
arched leaded glass window at the north façade, and a single double -hung
window and a single door with upper transom at the south façade, both of
which contain upper tiles to match those on the primary façade.
B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical
modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources
Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2023-XX

respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission
approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a
certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall
issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed
modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of
the historic property.
C. The proposed project consists of partial restoration and rehabilitation of the
historic Cypress Fire Station. The exterior restoration scope includes full
restoration of the primary (west) façade, restoration of the north façade
leaded glass window along with restoration of additional windows at the
north, south, and east facades, and removal of a 964-square-foot non-
original and non-contributing rear addition in order to restore the original
building footprint. Tenant improvements, which include new interior
configurations of the existing space, and changes relating to Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility compliance, will require rehabilitation of
exterior features, including removal/relocation of some doors and windows
on secondary facades.
D. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic
Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on November 2,
2023, for the request for exterior modifications to the Cypress Fire Station.
E. Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications
regarding tenant improvements and ADA access project elements that are
focused on the side (north and sou th) and rear (east) facades are required
to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. All exterior
modifications regarding the primary (west) façade restoration, select
window restoration at the secondary (north and south) and rear (we st)
facades, and removal of the rear addition are required to meet the Secretary
of Interior’s Standards for Restoration.
1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable:
i. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 1. The
subject building was originally constructed in 1928 as Santa
Ana’s Fire Station No. 4, whose interior configuration featured
a front office, apparatus room for fire truck parking, kitchen,
locker room, supply room for storage, dormitory, instrument
room, generator room, rear bedroom and bathroom, and a
battery room. Although its use later changed to a community
center, the building footprint has remained intact with the
exception of a rear addition. Although currently vacant, the
proposed interior and exterior changes will accommodate a
proposed multi-purpose use, with front and rear offices, three
multi-purpose rooms, interior restrooms, janitor’s room, a rear
kitchen, and two new hallways. The project complies with
Rehabilitation Standard No. 1 as the new interior changes will
require minimal changes to the distinctive materials, features,
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2023-XX
Page 3 of 11
spaces, and special relationships. Doors and window
changes will occur on secondary and rear facades only. At the
interior, the large apparatus room for fire truck parking will b e
rehabilitated into a multi-purpose room, keeping the original
open layout towards the front (west). The remainder of the
rooms will be rehabilitated into new uses to accommodate the
multi-purpose use along with ADA access, while keeping as
close as possible to the original floor plan.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 1 as the
primary (west) façade will be fully restored to its original 1928
design. Although the building will not serve as its original fire
station use, it will continue to be understood as an historic fire
station building through restoration of the fire truck double
doors and building signage reading “ENGINE COMPANY NO
4.”
ii. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 2. The
historic character of the subject property will be retained and
preserved. The interior tenant improvement project with new
ADA access has been designed to remove as little historic
material as possible and will be located on secondary (north
and south) and rear (east) façades, where it will not be
generally visible from the public right-of-way. The proposed
exterior alterations will not alter the primary (west) façade, or
any important spatial relationships that characterize the
property. Removal of the non-contributing rear addition will
bring the property back to its original footprint.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 2.
Materials and features from the 1928 restoration period will be
retained and preserved on the primary (west) façade. The clay
tile roof will be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled with
replacement tile pieces as needed to match the existing roof.
The original decorative tiled frieze bordered by a stringcourse
with a central rectangular window behind a wrought iron grille
will be cleaned and restored as needed. All building
fenestration is currently boarded up for security purposes. If it
is determined that any existing windows and doors are
salvageable, they will be restored to their original design and
materials based on the original architectural plans. The
original arched leaded glass window at the north (side) façade
will be restored to its original design. The rear addition will be
removed in order to restore the building back to its original
1928 footprint.

Resolution No. 2023-XX
Page 4 of 11
iii. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 3, as
conditioned. The proposed changes will not create a false
sense of historical development. The proposed side and rear
façade alterations will require new window and door openings
to accommodate the new internal configuration. As
conditioned, the new windows and doors will be compatible
with the historic building but will be distinct from the originals,
in order to not create a false sense of historical development.
Therefore, the new architectural features will read as
contemporary, not conjectural.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 3, as
conditioned. The primary (west) façade’s restoration will be
fully restored. Any items necessary to stabilize, consolidate,
and conserve materials and features from the restoration
period will be physically and visually compatible, such as
replacing any broken clay tile roof in-kind to match originals.
As conditioned, all restoration work will be documented as
part of the building’s historical record.
iv. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 4. The
project will not remove any significant features that were
added over time. The rear addition, which was added after the
building’s 1928 build date (likely between 1945 and 1972),
lacks notable architectural features and is not compatible with
the historic building. Therefore, its removal complies with
Rehabilitation Standard No. 4. Although interior alterations will
be made, the main apparatus room for firetruck parking will be
maintained and reused as a multi-purpose room.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 4, as
conditioned. The proposed restoration project includes
restoration of the primary (west) façade which does not
include removal or alteration of materials, features, spaces
and finishes that characterize other historic periods. However,
given the unknown state of all building fenestration, the
project will require documentation as part of the conditions of
approval.
v. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 5.
Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction
techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize
the property will be preserved. The project does not propose
to remove character-defining features or materials/finishes
along the primary façade. The proposed alteration to existing
windows and doors, along with new window and door
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2023-XX
Page 5 of 11
openings, at the secondary and rear facades are not readily
visible from the public right-of-way.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 5.
Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction
techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize
the restoration period will be preserved. The project will fully
restore the primary (west) façade and does not propose to
remove character-defining features or materials/finishes
along the primary façade. The removal of the non-compatible
rear addition will restore the building back to its original 1928
building footprint.
vi. The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 6. As
conditioned, deteriorated historic features, particularly
windows and doors, will be repaired rather than replaced in
locations where they are proposed to remain in-kind. Where
the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a
distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in
design, color, texture, and where possible, material.
Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by the
original architectural plans.
The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 6. As
conditioned, all original features at the primary (west) façad e,
along with the leaded glass window at the north façade, and
original windows and doors at the secondary (north and
south) and rear (east) facades, will be repaired rather than
being replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match
the old in design, color, texture and, where possible materials,
based on historic photographs and original architectural
plans.
vii. The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 7. The
primary (west) façade will be restored based on photographic
evidence and architectural plans of the original, 1928 façade
prior to later modifications. The secondary and rear façade
restoration items will also be based on original architectural
plans. A false sense of history will not be created as no
conjectural features, features from other properties, or
combining features that never existed together historically, will
be undertaken.
viii. The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 8.
Chemical or physical treatments are not currently proposed
FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383
Resolution No. 2023-XX
Page 6 of 11
as part of this project. However, if simple cleaning does not
provide appropriate removal of dirt, the project will be allowed
to undergo possible chemical or physical treatments, as
conditioned. These treatments will cause no damage to
historic materials and be undertaken using the gentlest means
possible.
ix. The project complies with Standard for Rehabilitation No. 9.
The primary (west) façade will be fully restored and a non-
compatible rear addition will be removed. Exterior alterations
to the secondary (north and south) and rear (east) facades will
not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial
relationships that characterize the property. Although two
original double-hung windows will be removed from the south
(side) façade to make room for a new door and interior
hallway, they will be salvaged and placed at the rear (east)
façade. Additionally, the proposal to move up two windows at
the south (side) façade up in line with the adjacent paired
windows is necessary due to the removal of an interior wall,
which currently separates the varied window heights. The
majority of the south façade windows will remain in place or
be restored to match the originals, based on their existing
conditions. Additionally, two windows and two doors with
transom windows will be removed from the north (side) in
order to accommodate a new interior bathroom with three new
windows. The rear (east) façade will remove two non-original
doors. One of the doors (to the south) will be infilled for Multi-
Purpose Room C and the other door (to the north) will have a
new door with upper transom window. All new doors and
windows proposed in new openings will be compatibly
designed and made with materials to match the originals. As
conditioned, their design will also be distinct enough to read
as contemporary.
x. The project complies with Standard for Rehabilitation No. 10.
The proposed tenant improvements and ADA accessibility
modifications are considered generally reversible, as they
does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and
materials. The proposed exterior modifications will be located
on secondary and rear facades, where they are not generally
visible from the public right-of-way, and avoids the most
significant and character-defining features. The essential
building form and the vast majority of its historic materials will
remain unimpaired. Although interior modifications will be
made, the overall division of space will remain mostly intact,

along with the large multi-purpose room that formerly served
as the apparatus room.
xi. Rehabilitation Standards 7-8 and Restoration Standards 9-10
are not applicable. No features of this description would be
affected by this Project.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as
this action is designed in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s S tandards.
Categorical Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-108 will be filed for this project.
Section 3. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana after
conducting the public hearing hereby approves the Certificate of Appropriateness for
Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2023-08, as conditioned in Exhibit B,
attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Historic Resources Commission finds that
the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and integrity of the
historic property. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said
hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Staff Report and exhibits attached thereto
and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. The Historic Resources Commission Secretary is hereby directed to

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial 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 wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
Included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Cypress Fire Station has been categorized as “Key” because it “is
characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana” as a surviving example of a fire house built during the
rapid expansion of the City in the 1920s. (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

This former fire station is a one story Spanish Colonial Revival building capped by an intersecting hip and gable roof. Red
clay tiles cover the roof and exterior walls are sided with stucco. The façade of the west-facing building is divided into three
bays. Flattened arches define the two northern bays, which once contained fire truck entrances but have now been enclosed
by windows. Topped by the hipped portion of the roof, the south bay projects forward and contains a large keyhole arch
opening. A door, flanking sidelights, and a transom conform to the arched shape. Beneath the shallow overhang of the hip
roof, a decorative frieze bordered by a stringcourse is interrupted in the center by a rectangular window adorned with a
wrought iron grille. Although converted into a community center, the Cypress Fire Station retains its overall integrity and
clearly conveys its former use.

The Cypress Fire Station is significant as the oldest fire station in Santa Ana, predating Fire Station No. 1 by one year. It was
built in 1928 as Fire Station No. 4 to serve the Eastside community. Like many civic and institutional buildings constructed in
southern California at the time, the new fire station was Spanish Colonial Revival in design. It cost approximately $9,000 to
build. In 1962, the station was converted for neighborhood use.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development were stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific
Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was
recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of
Orange.
Santa Ana’s Fire Department was organized in 1881 as a volunteer force, acquiring its first home on the west side of
Sycamore between Third and Fourth Streets in 1883. The growth of the Department, and the construction of branch
stations, was a reflection of the expansion of the City. Fire Station No. 4, commonly known as the Cypress Fire Station, was
built during the tenure of John Luxembourger, Santa Ana’s first full-time fire chief, who served from 1918 until 1946.
The Cypress Fire Station is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as “Key.”
The building retains characteristic stylistic elements of the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style including its massing, tile
roof, flattened and round arches, and window treatments. Character-defining features of the Cypress Fire Station that
should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration and detailing (red
tiles); original windows and doors (including fire truck doorways), where extant; and architectural detailing such as the
wrought iron grille over the central light of the south bay.
