NO. ADDRESS 2418 North Poinsettia Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1925 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Con#ribu#ive HISTORIC DISTRICT NIA NEIGHBORHOOD Park Santiago CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 3S Location: ^ Not for Publication ®Unrestricted ^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival The Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. 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 wifh liktle or no overhangs and red file 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. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Stanley House qualifies far listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion lfor its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Park Santiago neighborhood, and, as a Craftsman bungalow, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2}.

Significance (continued): The Stanley House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present nortlrem city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of the origins! city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Parts on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east North Main Street on the west, and the !-5 froeway on the southwest. 1n Large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Paci>tc Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway mute. This area remained primarily agricultural well info the 7920s. As of 1905, the city diroctories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Sush Street and North Main Avenuo, the only streets in the area at the tirno. The vast majority of the residents were ranchors. By 191 !, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Raad and Valencia Street had bean partially laid out but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as (heir occupation in the city directories. This pattern of Land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, CraHsman era subdivisions along Sush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided rota larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. White the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets wesf of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be lire most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in tiro westem half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county ofrcials, including the City Attorney (Z. 8. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2907 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2822 Poinsettia Street). 8y Apri11942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the westem half of the area, most of the tots had been improved with single-family homes, many in the revive! styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of ttre eastern half of tho neighborhood and int<!l construction in the westem half displayed the simplified ranch sfylo that emerged fallowing World War !1. Tha Stanley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revive! style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"because if is a"good example of period architecture': Character defining foatures include oxterior materials, origins! windows, proch configuration. *t312.

Although altered, the house is also a representative example of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style. Signature features of this design variant include two-story box-like massing and plan, a hipped roof and dormers, front porch, and detailing culled from the vocabularies of a variety of styles, including the Colonial Revival and Craftsman represented here. The house is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, Samuel Davis, who built this house in 1905, was a district attorney for the County of Orange and a partner with E. E. Keech in a prestigious law firm. Mr. Davis was one of the founders of the Orange County Historical Society, serving as Secretary from 1919 to 1947. Givil Engineer William Hoy and wife Elizabeth awned the home by 1920.

He was employed by the Orange County highway commission and the county surveyor's office. After serving as City Engineer of Santa Ana from 1919 to 1922, Mr. Hoy went into private practice. He specialized in water resources and irrigation, working for a number of local water companies (Marsh, 1998). 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, to 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, farmed the Wesfem Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad Tram its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 96D acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they ware successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on f=ruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of "Santa Ana East' never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1$90s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 9886, 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. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-fined streets. By the 192Ds, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival s#yled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930x. Frvm the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a "Who's Who° of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social fife of the city. Once Known as the °Nob Hifi° of Santa Ana, t=rench Park declined in the 194Ds and 195Ds as some homes were conversed into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 197Ds same houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 197Ds led to the establishment of a total historic district in 1984 and the fisting of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The Davis-Hoy House was fisted in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor Eo the French Park Historic District, It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style common in the first decade of the twentieth century and under Criterion 4b, far its association with two prominent early citizens, Samuel Davis and William Hoy. The massing, roof and dormer confguration, and delineation the upper and Power stories are elements associated with the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style, while the porch supports and window surrounds suggest the Colonial Revival and the exposed rafters and overhanging eaves reRec! the Craftsman style. Addilianally, the house has been categorized as °Contributive° because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of French Park through its historic associations and its style and type, is a 'goad example" of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style, and °has not been substantially altered.° Character-defining exterior features of the Davis-Hoy House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials (wood] and finishes (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; porch; and architectural details such as carved rafters and the original door. If restored to an earlier appearance, wish the original porch conf:guration and exterior finishes, The Davis-Hoy House could be categorized as °tCey."

AbbRESS 2d50 N.

The Ranch House originated in the 193fl's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist`s concern far informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has none-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pikched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses. SUMMARY CONCLUSION: The Berck-Gilbert House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style, as well as its association with Calvin M. Gilbert, founder of longtime local business Gilbert and Stearns Electric. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "is a goad example of period architecture.
