Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations to the historic structures (Exhibits B1-11). STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #2 (expand opportunities for conservation and environmental sustainability) and Objective #3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods).

The agreement provides monetary incentive 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.

It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the.. medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crahs philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials; and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward'expression of structure_. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embracethelandscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and, hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco;. extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s (McAlester, 453-463). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Guillen House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style in the Flower.Park neighborhood. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history' of Santa Ana, and, and, as a highly intact - and characteristically detailed example of the Craftsman Bungalow style in the Flower Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded-by,Wllliam Spuigeon in`1869 as a speculative town site on part.8ftthe Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de -Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the. intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and Incorporation as a city.fn•1656, and selection as the, seat of thanewly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing around the city.centec Agricultural uses predominated in outlying areas, -with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Guillen House is located In the Flower Park neighborhood. Located west of the historic core.of Santa Ana, Flower Park Is bounded by Civic Center Drive on the north, First Street on the south, Rower Street on the east, and Bristol Street on the west. One of Santa Ana's older residential neighborhoods, Flower Park began to be developed with single-family homes'in the late nineteenth century. Flower Park's growth In the first quarter of the twentieth century owed much to ifs proximity to the original civic and commercial center, as well as its location along the Pacific Electric Railway line, which by 1906 transected the neighborhood along the Fourth Street corridor. In addition, Flower Park was located one block northeastof the Hotly Sugar'Corpaetion, established in the early twentieth century and a local landmark until it was demolished in 1983. Another, neighborhood focal point was the United Brethren Church at 1103 West Third Street founded by Reverend N:J. Crawford. Constructed In 1914, the Craftsman -style church was altered in 1924 with an enlargement and the addition a: square, crenellated.tower that is extant. City directories indicate that, by 1905, just over 100 improvements had been made in Flower Park from First to Fifth Streets between Bristol and. Flower. By 1910, this number had grown by over 25 percent. -As of 2006, a majority of the extant residential buildings In Flower. Park were constructed prior to. World War Il, the majority during the Craftsman period. Occupying the northeast corner of Flower Park from 1877 and 1922 was a brickyard built over what had been; a, Native American camp. site. The Flower Park brickyard contributed bricks to so many. structures in Orange County that historian'Jim Sleeper referred to the site as "the womb of Orange County development." In 1929, plans were made to build a 5,000 -seat stadium on the site of the brickyard. The stadium, designed byarchilectural engineer Milo L. Berenson,.opened in 1932 as .the Santa Ana Bowl. In 1963, the facility was replaced by the 10,000 -seat Santa Ana Municipal Stadium, designed by .architect Robert Michael.Hernandez..Renamed Eddie West Field/Santa Ana Stadium in 1977 in honor. of Santa Ana Register sports writer Eddie West, the facility underwent renovations in the early 1980s and_ remains a prominent feature of the northern half of Flower Park. The Guillen House qualities for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 for its .The of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman Bungalow style. Typical features of this style illustrated by the house include its horizontality, conveyed through its proportions, massing, roof pitch, porch treatment and lenestraiion and its utilization of exposed structural features for decorative effect Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as a highly intact and characteristically detailed example of the Craftsman Bungalow style in the Flower Park neighborhood, is a good example, of . period architecture." Character -defining exterior features of the Guillen House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch configuration and treatment, and architectural details such as the porch supports and layered beams.

The Ranch House originated Irithe"1630s 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 for informality,,expressed in,materials,and plan, and indoor_outdbor integration. ti gra ion. While. the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features appli6s'to most examples. . 16 form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch H . ouse.typlcally has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a'low pitchbd,orfat 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 . foundationsi art stone, and wood shake roofs. indoor -o' , 6tdoor 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-patteirried n1untins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved parch supports and . exposed raftem;,6neven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dovecates.and bird houses.

The civic and commercial core of the communitywas centered around the intersecliori,oi Main. and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of tho Santa Fe Railroad and incorperalion as'a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the ndwlycreated County of Orange in 1889, the citygrew outwards; with residential neighborhoods •developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricrilferaiuses predominated in the oudykig areas, with. cultivated fields and orchards dofted with widely scattered farmhouses. - The,Teter Nouse is locatod in Fisher Park, °a neighborhood north of West Floral Park and bounded by Sharon Road,(wost;of North Flower Street) and Memoq Lane (east of North Flower Street) on the,north, Interstate 5, on the east, Santiago Creek (west of North Flower Stroct) and.nark Lane (east of North Flower Street)on the south, and Bristol Street on the west. Tho noighborhood takes its name from Jacob `(Jack),Fisher. Born in Yakima,, Washington} Fisher moved to Santa Ana with his parents and sister in the early twentieth century. la April. 1917, upon the United.States' entry into, World War 1, Fisher oniistod in the US Army when he was 18 years ofd. Asslgned to Company L, Sovonth California Regiment, Flsherlalered .advanced to the love! of 6&pprat in Ore 5g' tnfantry of Company D. During his service in World War f, Fisher rocoivod several high-level honors for his sorvr'ce in France, including a Purple Heart, French_Cmix de Guerre Wit? Palm, and the, Medaillo Milifaire, France's highest military recognition. After surviving the battles of Argonne Forest and Verdun, Fisher's fent battle was fought in Argonne, from which.he emerged with grave injuries. In 1919, Fisherreturned to the United States for a period of convalescence: During his recupora8on at the military hospital in San Francisco, Fisher studied art. and cartoon t8ustration, which, he developed into a career as a cartoonist for the San Francisco Examiner and, tater; Santa Ana Rogister upon his return to Santa Ana in 1927.. A decorated veteran with awards from Italy, Belgium, Britain, France, and the United States, Fisher vias instrumental in the,formation of the Santa Ana. Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans. After Fisher's death at.the age of 30, In March 1929, the Chapter. of Disabled American Veterans he helped form look his name as the Jack Fisher Past, Chapter of Disabled American Veterans. On Augusf,23, 1933, _construction was,complated on a park horth bf Santiago Creek an North Flower Street and dedicated as the.

In November 1947, rosMonlial development arrived when a narrow strip was cleared, graded, and subdivided into 25lots offered as Tract No. 1160, 'River Lane Tract." Mirroring the curve of Santiago Creek td the south, the streets displayed a curvilinear layout with lots ranging In size from 70,10 130 feet long, 140 to 190 deep. Three years later, in August 1958, another curvilinear subdivision appeared oast of Flower Street, with smaller lots, averaging 60 feet'by,90 feet, arranged around a curvffinoar patlern with cut de'sacs.

The stickwork Typically overlaid the siding;adorned the gable ends, or was incorporated into the structure ofporches and balconies. The rectilinear quality of the Stick Style was often combined, in,the last quarter of the nineteenth century, with "Eastlake ornamentation' 'Derived,from the furniture designs of Charles Locke. Eastlake, an English designer and arbiter of taste who disavowed all connection with thearchitecturebearing his name, such ornamentation included turned wood columns and spindles, knobs, sawn brackets, and curvilinear perforations. To southern. California; Stick/Eastlake characteristics were usually associated with the predominant Queen Anne style of the late nineteenth century OVhiffen, 109-126). The Queen Anne (Late Victorian)(also known as the Queen Anne Revival) style dominated residential architectural design during the last twenty years of the nineteenth century in the West, and was nearly as. influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features include the front -facing gable roof,- ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end, avoidance of flat wall surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal, and classical columns or pilasters: Multi -storied residential and commercial examples often incorporated bay windows; sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late Medieval' models, with theaddition of other regional interpretations. Some of the mostWell-developed examples can be found in California and in the southern states (McAlester, 263-268) SUNIMARY/CONCLUSION: The Harmon -McNeil House,was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as an individual resource and again,in'1999- as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Registecof Historical Resources; the building is also listed in the California Register. Included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Hirmon•MGNeil House has been categorized as "Landmark" because it "is on the national register," "is on the state register;' "has a 'historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana,' for its contribution to the French Park district, and"has a unique architectural significance" as a rare and intact example of the combination of Stick/Eastlake and Queen Anne residential design (Ivlunicipal.Code, Section 30-2.2).

Moved to French Park in 1987, the Harmon -McNeil House is an outstanding example of the combination of SticlvEastlake with Queen Anne design. The house originally faced north and was re -oriented to face west when it was moved. It is two stories in height and capped by a steeply hipped roof with lower cross gables on the now west (front) and north elevations. A frieze, articulated by vertical strips and paneling, wraps the building below boxed eaves. Dentils ornament the horizontal and raking cornices. The house is clad with shiplap siding, varied by areas offish -scale shingling located in the gable ends, between stories in projecting bays, and on the pent roof over the front parch. Although basically rectangular in shape, the Boor plan extends outwards below the gables to form projecting wings. The one-story porch is L-shaped and wraps the northwest comer of the building to terminate against the projecting wings. Within and above the porch, a squared bay is placed at an angle to the comer and topped by another gable. Another squared bay projects from the wing below the west gable. Decoratively carved brackets, featuring sunbursts and pendants, ornament the west gable overhangs. (Mndows are (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) •P3b.

According to one version, the house was underconstructfon by English bom architect James W. Blee whan it was purchased by Jonathon Hamion'4rom his sister, Amanda. Harmon Stafford Blee (Thomas, August 1983). In- fhe other version, John Harmon acquired the house from Blee who had constructed it for George Edgar, who traded it to the 'Biee family for another property (Marsh, February 19, 1998). In any case, Harmon, apparently the a'rst owner -resident, was from northern California. He moved to Santa Ana in 1888 and established the Jersey Dairy, whichhe operatedwith his wife,. Martha, and sons, Edward Warren and John Warren, until his retirement in 1905. In 1904 or 1905, John lMlson McNeil' purchased the house and moven in with his wife Alma and two daughters. McNeil, a farmer from Missouri also operated.a team of horses with a special rig for digging basements that was much in demand in the area. Members of the McNeil family.

Another doorway, also lopped by a transom, is located on the north elevation at the east end of the porch. Since the relocation of the house,,the property has been enclosed by s woodpicket fence and enhanced by landscaping. Despite the move, the house retains an extraordinary degree'of integrity of its original, appearance: ' 'B10. :Significance (continued): retained ownership of the house until the mid 1970s, subdividing it into rooms for let in later years. An extensive restoration was undertaken by Cecil Warren in the mid 1970s and early 1980s. The, City of Santa Ana stepped in when the house'was threatened with demolition at its original location at 322 East Chestnut Street, moved the structure to French Park in 1987, and selected, the proposal of the Houghton family to restore the house. Anew foundation was built, new roof provided, the porch rebuilt, some new systems installed, andthe exterior was scraped and repainted in colors selected by the Historic 'French Park Association. The Harmon -McNeil House dates from the real estate boom of 1886-1888. 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, Santa Ana initially grew . slowly, albeit steadily. Development was stimulated by the arrival of the'Southem Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the Santa'Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized asone of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. Southern California, including Santa Ana, experienced a phenomenal spurt of growth as a result of competition between the two railroads in the second half of the 1880s. Most of the houses constructed during this period were Queen Anne in style. The Hannon - McNeil House is distinguished from most of its counterparts by the incorporation of elements usually labeled "Eastlake," including its rectilinear massing, turned wood columns, and extensive use of carved ornament. Since its relocation in 1987, the Harmon -McNeil House has contributed to the historic significance of French Park through. its architectural style and type, which are representative of the district during its period of growth and significance (established by the National Register nomination as 1877-1945). The French Park neighborhood is the result of an 1877 subdivision by Spurgeon, who, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development,Company with the Intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they. were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa. Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of "Santa Ana East" never materialized. Early groKdh and development, ofthe town continued 7o 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 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth centurythe 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 -lined streets; By tfie.1920s, inost streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single-family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s. and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a "Who's Mo" of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers, and others active in the civic and social life of the city.

Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In.the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and. the properties redeveloped with multi -family. housing. However, a grass roois,preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district 'in"1984 and the listing of the,neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The Harmon -McNeil House was listed as an individual resource in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 while in its original location, andag6in in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the Califomia Registerof Historical Resources, and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It, is also included in the Santa Ana •Registerof Historical Property and has, been categorized as "Landniark.� Itis unique, arid, .possessed of a substantial degree of integrity in spite of its relocationand restoration.

Request of Applicant Angela Meyer is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 1909 North Poinsettia 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. Project Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 1,422 -square -foot, single -story Minimal Traditional style residence and attached, garage on a 7,405 -square -foot residential lot (Exhibit 1). 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 EXHIBIT B5 25A-63 HRCA No. 2017-06, HRC No. 2017-05 HPPA No'. 2017-13 September 28, 2017 Page 2 Municipal . Code (SAMC). This project entails ,applying the selection criteria established in Chapterr30 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 minimum 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 78 years old. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Molfetto House, has distinctive architectural features.of the Minimal Traditional style and was built in 1939 by Roy Russell Character defining features of the Molfetto House that :should_ be preserved include, but may not be limited to roof configuration and detalling; original windows where extant; minimal use of applied ornament; architectural details such as the shutters, and elaborated entry surround including awning and pilasters .(Exhibit 2). It is recommended .that the house be, designated to the Santa An Register of Historical Properties and categorized as' "Contributive" under Criterion 1, for its exemplification .of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style. Additionally, .the house has been categorized .as "Contributive" because it `'contributes to the overall character• and history' of the Park Santiago neighborhood and"is a good example of period architecture," representing the Minimal Traditional style - in Santa Ana. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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.

REGISTER. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION CI3 CALIFORNIA REGISTERSTATUSCODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ 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 Traditionalhome 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). In a reflection of the Tudor and English Revival styles they,mimie, Minimal Traditional homes aro typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often with -a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the preceding styles, the Minimal Traditional home'is capped witha 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 display decorative wood shutters and porch -roof supports. By the 1950s, the Minimal Traditional home was replaced by the Ranch House as the style of choice for middle-class housing and large tract -house developments. (McAlester, pp. 47648). SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Molfetto House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style, Additionally,,the house has been categorized as "Contributive' because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Park Santiago neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the Minimal Traditional style in S.A.M.C.

The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915.and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 19309. 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 orno 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. The Spanish "Eclectic" Revival is a form of Spanish Revival architecture.'Some of the features that make the Spanish "Eclectic" Revival unique to its form are associated to level of detail In the materials and design of the home. For example, the Travis House uses distinctive painted ornate tiles throughout the facade of the. home. The distinctive tile features are added 1n the arched entryways; at the front porch steps and at the driveway entrance in the form of medallions to enhance the appearance of the. archway, SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Travis .House qualifies for Misting in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the -Spanish "Eclectic" Revival. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it °contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the Spanish "Eclectic' Revival "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The structure is sheathed in stucco and has a predominantly flat roof with file material around the perimeter of the home's rootline. The front facade also possesses a small gable and shed style roof design incorporated into the kitchen area of the house and the front porch. Overall the home is fairly symmetrical in shape, and though it does not follow the assymmetrical shapes of the traditional spanish revival style of architecture, it does have a rectangular massing that extends through most of the front of the property. As mentioned, the roof is traditional to the spanish revival style of architecture, however, providing a gable and shed style roof at the front makes this home a unique example of the Spanish "Eclectic" Revival style of architecture. The Travis house also has a unique front porch entrance to the home. The traditional arched entry is elongated to a rectangular shape with rounded edges. The porch is also covered in an ornate spanish-style painted file with a two-step landing leading towards the front door. The windows at the front elevation are a mixture of wood casement and fixed sash windows. The remaining windows throughout the home include single hung sash windows with Iambs tongue features. A detached garage similar to the traditional Spanish style of architecture sits to the rear of the lot, accessed through the drive way which also provides an arched entry. The arched entry at the driveway is designed to illustrate the grandeur of the Spanish "Eclectic" Revival style of architecture. Landscaping throughout the house is comprised of mature palm trees and drought tolerant plants embedded in planters which appropriately accent the materials used throughout the house; such as the use of red bricks in the design of the walkway and driveway.

And though no furtherinformation was found about K. C.

Significance,(contiriued): '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:anil commercial core of the community was centered 6n -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 Travis 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 brickyard was located at the northern terminus,of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1926, 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 U. During'dhe 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 Califomia, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Travis House qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties due to its characteristics of the Spanish "Eclectic" Revival style of architecture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall'character and history" of Santa Ana, and 'is a good example of period architecture." Character - defining exterior features of the Travis House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, window design, materials and finishes; roof configuration and detailing. B12.

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 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.

The "L" shaped structure is clad in smooth stucco and capped by clay barrel tile. Two stucco clad "chimneys rise above the rooftop on the eastern and northern part of the residence. The garage is front facing, which is unusual for a home built in the 1920's, and possesses two wood tilt -up garage doors. The garage was extended forward (south) by five feet in 2016 to allow for a standard sized car. The garage now has a hip gable above it, but the elevation is in the -same configuration as the original. A covered front porch runs the length of the front elevation other than the garage. This front porch has wooden, stucco covered porch supports without capitals. Windows are wood casement with multiple lights. The front entry includes a heavy wooden door with a fixed' window in its upper half. A low wall with stucco covered pilasters and wrought iron vertical elements forms a front courtyard that.is typical of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The landscape is more modern water saving xeriscape and drought tolerant shrubs. 'P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property 'P4.

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 Ran cho.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 Dr. Paterson 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts,: 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'nigtitfatl on the day of his amval; 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. parrel'chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Streetand 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; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Nonnan,.Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. The Allison Honer.Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco -styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War ll, and the 19.60 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 Ddve. 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 housescompleted the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Dr.,Paterson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. The addition constructed in 2016 meets the Secretary• of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation. , Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive because Itis a 'good example of period architecture'. Character defining features of the Dr. Paterson. House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials including stucco, clay roof tiles; odginal windows, original front entry door, and "L' shaped massing. `B12.- References (continued): Harris, Cyril M.

It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.

Early. growth and development was 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,$anta 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 continued to grow steadily, surviving an economic downturn in the 1890s and, gaining momentum in the first decade of the 20`h century. The older neighborhoods closest to the downtown commercial district and to the churches, clubs, and institutions began to be filled up and homebuilders looked elsewhere for land. This trend outward from the City's historic core was. symbolized by the construction of Santa Ana High School on MainStreet at Tenth Street in 1900 (demolished in the 1940s to make way for the new Buff Department Stare). The Andres House is one of a cluster of homes,fr6m the. first decades of the 20" century that. has survived on'the 1700 block of North Bush Street, north of the'older French Park neighborhood. It is architectural ly significant as,a representative example of the Craftsman style. Characteristic features incorporated in the design include a horizontal emphasis, articulated by the pitch of the gables; strong.horizontal lines of the header molding, and proportions of the frontporch, and a reliance 'on exposed structural elementssuchas.the rafters and braces in the eaves for architectural inierest. Character -defining exterior features of the Andres House, which should be'preserved; include but may not belimited to: roof configuration and treatment (exposed, shaped rafter tails, bargeboards, braces, etc.);'original materials and finishes; open porch configuration and detailing; and original doors and windows.. - - SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. Itis sighificai : under Criterion l � in that it embodies the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period.' The Andres House has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as a. good and intact example of, the Craftsman style, which dominated residential construction: for the first 20 years of,the'20'h century (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.").

Alsoaddress integrity) The Smiley House is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of Craftsman design, It was constructed in.1911 for citrus grower and rancher Jasper A. Smiley and his wife Fannie. Once located'on'the outskirts of Santa Ana amidst orange and lemom,groves, the property, is now surrounded by homes constructed in. the 1950s. The house was restored in. 1986-1986 by Philip and Irene Chinn. Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1669 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known is Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was'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. The, development of southern California in general and.Santa Ana in specific experienced a large boost in the second half of the J880s, when competition between the two railroads triggered a real estate boom. - (See.

Significance (continued): The economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned'or worked on'the ranches that encircled the,incoiporated area. The Smiley House is a•remnant of this era, when the outlying areas of Santa Ana were covered with orchards and dotted with widely spaced.ranch houses. Possessing an extraordinary degree of design integrity the Smiley House is most notable forits evocation of the Craftsman style that dominated residential construction in southern California during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Its picturesque quality, derived from the treatment of the woodwork in the gable ends and between the windows, and its broadly spreading overhanging gables• reveal the influence of the Swiss Chalet on Craftsman design, All original and restored elements of this'very'intact residence are considered to be character -defining and should be preserved, including (but not Unci ted to): materials and finishes (wood and stone), roof configuration and treatment, massing and asymmetry, composition, bays and projections, porch and steps, doors,and windows (includingsurrounds), and architectural detailing (woodwork). Unique andpossassed. of a high degree of integrity, the Smiley Househas been formally determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. In 1988 it was added to the Santa' Ana Register of Historical Property. It has since been categorized as "Landmark." 'Bii References (continued): Harris, Cyril M.

The address first appears in the 1916 Santa Ana Directory with Chris and Amefid Pefz listed as owners. Mr. Petz was a farmer. Also living at the residence were the Petz' two sons, Irven and Ralph, both, students. The 9936 through 1938 directories indicate that Mrs. Patz had become the sole head of household, suggesting that Mc Petz had died around 1935. In 1939, Mrs. Petz shared the'house with Verna L. Petz, a clerk at First National Bank. The house was listed as vacant in 1940. The 1941 Orange County directory shows that Harlow R. Billingsley, a carpenter, and Amy B. .Billingsley were the property owners. City of Santa Ana building permits show that H.R. Billingsley occupied the house until at least 1947. - - (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes., (List attributes and codes) "812.

Significance.(oontinued): The Pe& House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by. West Seventeenth Sheet, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Grovesbf oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allis on Honer (1897-1981), credited as the,subdivider and builder of a majorportion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356)1 'Before nightfall'on the day of his arrival,, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And thai 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 Creak. "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 RegistaP, 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 HonerConstruction Company went on to complete such notable projects.as the 1935 Art Deco styled O1d.Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War 11, 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, anotherbuildei; 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 ClareAvenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War It 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many"affluent and prominent citizens. The Petz House has been determined eligible forlisting.in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to a North Broadway Park historic district that is bounded by Riverside Drive, Santa Clara Avenue, North Broadway, and North Flower Street. Comprising the northern end of the Floral Parkneighborhood, North Broadway Park was subdivided in 1923. The Petz House appears to be the only residence in North Broadway Park that pre -dates the subdivision, and may have belonged to one of the subdividers. The Keeper of the National Register found that: "North Broadway Park reflects the City Beautiful planning movement in Southern California during the early twentieth century. The vernacular adaptations of period revival styles, curvilinear street patterns, street furniture„ and landscape combine to create a cohesive and pleasant middle class suburban neighborhood environment which is unique in'the early historical development ofthecity of Santa Ana-"" - 'Under the regulations implementing the California Register of HistoricalResources, the Petz House has been listed in the California Register. It also qualifies forlisting in the Santa Ana Registerof Historical Property undor Criterion 1 as an'intact .and representative example of a Craftsman residence from the early decades of the twentieth century:- Additionally, the 'house has been categorized as `Key' far its distinctive architectural quality. Characteristic Craftsman features include the, intersecting gaoled root, exposed structural elements such as beams and raker tails, and the overall norizontelity of Me massing. It is also characteristic of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana as an original farmhouse in the North Broadway Park district. Character -defining exterior features of the Petz House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration; massing; windows;, porch; and architectural details such as exposed beams and rafter tails, and carved bargeboards.
