deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owners 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
Owners shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code

3-

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

referenced herein, the City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the

Owners, the City shall give written notice to the Owners by registered or certified mail, and if
such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the Deputy City Manager for
Development Services 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 the Owners),
then the 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 the Owners
growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive
relief against any violation by the Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if the 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 the City's regulations governing historic properties are
available to the City to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by

Highly intact and reflective of the Craftsman design philosophy, this one-story, Craftsman bungalow features a marked
horizontal emphasis. A side gabled roof is characterized by low pitch, with rafters and three -layered beams exposed in the
overhanging eaves. Centered over the fagade, a large, front -gabled dormer contains a tripartite opening consisting of a
broad louvered vent flanked by fixed sash. Vertical wood slat vents are tucked into the peaks of the side gable ends.
Clapboard sheathes the building, with shingles cladding the gable faces. Spanning the fagade, the front porch is sheltered by
a lower pitched extension of the main roof. Elephantine posts atop clapboard covered pedestals support the porch roof.
Additional pedestals frame the central entry. A wood slat railing encloses the porch space. Large brackets atop the porch
supports are angled, and with the porch beam, form a modified arch. Broadly proportioned tripartite windows whose
transoms feature distinctive, diamond patterned lights, flank the slightly offset entry. Three small, rectangular windows are
set into the front door in a stepped motif. Side elevations display primarily double -hung sash windows, in a variety of
configurations. The house is substanSally intact and in good condition.

The Guillen House is architecturally significant as a highly intact and representative example of a Craftsmanb ungalow of the type
that characterized the Flower Park neighborhood of Santa Ana during its primary period of development The residence first
appears in city directories in 1920, although City of Santa Ana records indicate a construction date of 1914, which would be
consistent with the style of the house. The owner was listed in 1920 as W. Loren Tibbs, a lemon packer who resided in the house
with his wife Amy. City directories indicate that ownership of the residence changed several times throughout the 1920s and 1930.
John Guillen, an agricultural worker, and his wife Mary are listed as the residents of the house from 1947 until 1962. A plumbing
permit obtained by Augustine Guillen in 1981 indicates that the house remained in the family for at least two more decades.

*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 around 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 around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards
dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Guillen House is located in the Flower Park neighb orhood. 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, Flower 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 its 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 northeast of the Holly
Sugar Corporation, 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 numberhad grown by over 25 percent. As of 2006,
a majority of the extant residential buildings in Flower Park were constructed prior to World War It 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 campsite. The Flower Park brickyard contributedbricks 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 by architectural 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
north ern half of Flower Park.
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. Typical features of this style illustrated
by the house include its horizontality, conveyed through its proportions, massing, roof pitch, porch treatmentand fenestration
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.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Craftsman Bungalow
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. 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 (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).

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

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
