Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE: 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 which 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.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and boundaries.) Combining features associated with the Craftsman style and the massing of the “American Foursquare” genre, this two-story house is located on the west side of North Broadway between 10th and Washington Streets. Clad in horizontal wood lap siding, the rectangular building has a hip roof with broad eaves and exposed rafter tails. Accenting the center of the front (east) elevation, an open front gable, decorated with a turned finial at its peak, projects from the roof. The horizontal line of the roof overhang is echoed by a molded beltcourse which visually separates the first and second floors. Two bays wide, the façade is balanced but asymmetrical, containing an attached porch with a hipped roof and a broad window and transom on the lower story, and a tripartite window and a single one-over-one double-hung sash on the upper floor. Windows have simple board surrounds and molded heads. Another hip roof tops a bay window on the south elevation. Visible alterations include a removed window on the south elevation, the installation of an air conditioning unit to the upper front wall, and the enclosure of the front porch with compatible, elongated wood multi-pane windows. HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: The Lockett-Cleland House was built in 1909 for Mrs. Mary Lockett, widow of Jeremiah Lockett, a member of a prominent local pioneer family. In 1922 Dr. Clark and Martha Cleland were residents of the house. Dr. Cleland, a chiropractor, had his offices on the first floor and he and his wife lived on the second floor. The Clelands' son, Dalton, was also a chiropractor and practiced at this location until the 1950s. Dalton was a Director of the California Chiropractic Association, former President of the Orange County Chiropractic Society, a member of the Orange County Sheriff’s Air Squadron, and a member of the Jubilee Lodge of F.A. and M.

No Yes Unknown Date: Original Location: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, geographic scope, and integrity.) Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as 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. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through the first three decades of the 20th century, Broadway emerged as a prominent residential corridor and was eventually lined by comfortably scaled homes shaded by rows of street trees. In the 1920s and 1930s, Broadway experienced new growth as multiple family residences were introduced to the street. Several examples of both periods of development have survived, evoking, as a district, a distinctive sense of time and place. This house is significant for its associations with the pioneer Lockett family and the local chiropractic physicians Clark and Dalton Cleland. Architecturally, the house has been altered by the removal of a window on the south elevation and the enclosure of the front porch. However, both of these changes are reversible, and the house therefore also has significance for architectural interest as an example of an early 20th century reflecting the transition into Craftsman design. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development and under Criterion 4 for its associations with the Lockett and Cleland families. The Lockett-Cleland House has been categorized as “Contributive” because the building “contributes to the overall character and history” of North Broadway, “is good example of period architecture,” and “has not been substantially altered” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
