ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission
Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying
features include curved parapets (or espadana); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging
eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The
Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The
movement received widespread attention after the Panama -California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish
interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish
Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded
by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry; balconies and patios;
window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival
arcrutecture In Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal uooe, JeQuon Su-z.

bays. A Palladian wood window and arched partially enclosed patio with the building's main entrance encompase the
northern two bays. The Palladian window has what appears to be two casement windows with a centered fixed window and
divided lights at all three window segments, located behind a low, wrought iron balconet (Figure 2). The main entrance door

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

four downtown Santa Ana locations and a production plant at Stafford and Santiago. Following the sale, Harry Burman

The Worswick House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West
Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol
Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting
the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now
Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed
much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. in 1925, the beginning of the
development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over
the next 25 years had begun. in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were
the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World
War /I. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes
according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A
Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and
the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.

Exhibit C.
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
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 envirorunent.
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 cornposition, 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.
S. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with
