The Italianate (Late Victorian) style is chiefly identified by its window treatment: tall, relatively narrow, double-hung sash, with flat,
arched, or flattened arch heads often emphasized by hood moldings. Other typical features include low hipped or flat roofs, bracketed
cornices, and, particularly in residential examples. a square tower or cupola. In commercial usages, a raised pediment bearing the
name or date of the building is not uncommon. A variety of siding materials are used, usually with stringcourses between stories and
sometimes with wall planes framed by quoins. Used for both residential and commercial buildings from the mid 19" century through
the 1890s. the Italianate style was adapted to "Main Street" commercial buildings and simplified, becoming the "commercial * vernacular" of the era (Whiffen. 99).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and

A hipped roof with a bracketed boxed cornice keynotes the design of this two-story Italianate residence. The roof is crowned by a
finial. Shiplap siding trimmed with endboards sheathes the building. The three bay faqade displays Colonial Revival influences in the
shutters that adorn the one-over-one double-hung sash windows in each bay on the upper story and the side bays on the lower story
and in the central portico. The portico consists of a front-gabled hood, whose horizontal cornice is broken by an arched opening,
supported on slender columns. A one-story wing on the east side of the house is also surmounted by a hipped roof. An iron railing
has been added to the front porch stairs; otherwise, the building maintains a high level of integrity.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, Frances and Foster Harding built this home in 1888 when they arrived in Santa Ana from Iowa. They
purchased land on the comer of Twentieth and West (Broadway) Streets and planted a fruit orchard. Harding also established a
successful plastering business. A biographical account in 1902 cited his membership in the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, the
Masons, Shriners, and Methodist Church (Treasures).

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.
A fare war between the two railroads in the mid 1880s led to a real estate boom that engulfed all of Southern California between 1886
and 1888. Santa Ana grew at a rapid clip during this period and many new business blocks and homes were constructed. The
Harding House is an example of a "boom" house, and is architecturally significant as one of the few such houses in the Italianate style
to survive in the region. Since the heyday of the italianate style in residential construction largely predated the boom, relatively few
homes of the era display this architectural mode, choosing instead to follow the Queen Anne Revival fashion.
Character-defining exterior features of the Harding House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: roof
configuration and detailing, exterior materials and finishes, portico, and original windows and doors.
Listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Harding House has been categorized as "Key" because it "is characteristic
of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana" as surviving example of an 1880s "boom" house and "has a distinctive
architectural style and quality" as a rare example of the residential Italianate style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: BungalowICraftsman
DESCRIPTIONIBACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American BungalowICraftsman architecture was popularized by The
Crafsman 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.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and

Strong horizontal lines keynote the design of this one-story Craftsman bungalow. The unbroken ridge and eave lines of the low-
pitched, side gable roof establish the horizontal emphasis. A dormer whose shed roof is of very shallow pitch is centered over the
fa~ade below the ridge. Both the roof and the dormer are detailed with exposed rafters and prominent knee braces in the overhanging
eaves. Spanning the fa~ade, the porch is defined by a river rock railing and four tapered piers. The masonry features a sunburst
design. River rock was also used for the chimney attached to the east elevation. Behind the porch, the faqade is symmetrical, with
bands of five casement windows to either side of the central entry. Muntins in the casements create a horizontal line across the tops of
the windows. The door surround echoes the tapered shape of the porch supports. In good condition, the house appears to be
substantially unaltered.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, John Woodward, a plaster contractor, constructed this residence in 1913. John and Ula Woodward
occupied the property until 1922 (Treasures).

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.
Santa Ana continued to grow steadily, surviving an economic downturn in the 1890s and gaining momentum in the first decade of the
twentieth 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 Main Street at Tenth Street in 1900 (demolished in the 1940s to make way for the
new Buffum's Department Store). Numerous Craftsman style homes were built in the northern section of town, in the vicinity of
Buffalo Avenue, during the two decades following the turn of the century.
The Woodward House is significant as a fine example of a Craftsman bungalow. The strong horizontal emphasis of the design
coupled with a noteworthy use of river rock distinguishes the residence from others of the genre. Character-defining exterior features
of the Woodward House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: roof configuration and treatment (pitch,
dormer, rafters, braces); original materials and finishes, especially river rock; original fenestration; front porch; symmetry; and a architectural detailing such as window and door surrounds and horizontal beams.
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 style or period." The Woodward House has been categorized as "Key" because
it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Craftsman style that dominated residential construction
during the first twenty years of the twentieth century (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
20 years of the 1 9 ~ 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 the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well developed examples can be found in
California and in the Southern states (McAlester, 263-268).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This unusual example of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style features a symmetrical composition consisting of a central, side-
gabled volume flanked by two front-gabled wings. Two interior brick chimneys emerge from the ridge of the side gable and a dormer
with a bowed and bracketed gable end is centered over the faqade. Beneath the embellished bargeboards of the front gables, small,
paired attic windows are set into decorative shingle facing beneath triangular sunburst panels. Narrow overlap siding sheathes the
lower portion of the building. Each side of the front gable overhangs transitions into a cant bay in an arrangement suggestive of
pendentives. Abutting the cant bays, the front porch, now enclosed by windows, projects forward in a shallow curve. Panels of
patterned shingles are located beneath the windows. Centered beneath the dormer, the glazed front entry is framed by sidelights and
topped by a transom. Highly ornate although not original statuary and light standards embellish the front stairs. The property enjoys
a generous frontage along North Ross Street and is bordered by a wrought iron fence set atop a low concrete retaining wall.
Modifications to the house include enclosure of the porch and replacement of the porch supports, removal of the original porch
balustrade and a matching railing in front of the dormer, and re-glazing of some of the windows.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
This house was built in 1892 for George Ford, a prominent nurseryman who specialized in English walnuts. Twenty acres of walnut
groves surrounded the house at its original location at 1342 North Ross Street. Ford was an early city resident, whose first nursery
was located at Sixth and Ross Streets. He shipped walnut trees throughout California and to Australia, and was instrumental in
establishing the Santa h a region as an important agricultural center. Ford is also remembered for the row of 19 camphor trees that
he planted on the east boundary of his property on Ross Street. In 1924 George Ford died and his wife, Mary, inherited both the
property bounded by Washington, Parton, Ross, and Fifteenth Streets on which the house was located and 400 acres between Santa
Ana and Anaheim. A resident of Santa Ana since 1878 and a member of several community institutions, including the Ebell Society,
the Santa h a Woman's Club, the Torosa Rebekah Lodge, and the First Christian Church, Mary Ford was remarried, to W. C.
Watkins. the following year. The couple remained in the house until 1930, when Mrs. Watkins sold the property to the Board of
Education for the construction of Willard Junior High School. The Ford House was moved to its present location a block and a half
north of the original site. After W. C. Watkins died in 1947. followed by Mary Watkins's death in 195 1. the house was acquired by
Pepito and Joanne Perez. who converted it into a dance studio in 1955. The Perezes had enjoyed success in vaudeville in New York
and Pepito had several film credits. including Road to Rio (1947) with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)
with Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster. As of 2001. the dance academy is still in operation.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,

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.
The economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned or worked on the ranches that
encircled the incorporated area. The Ford House is a remnant from this era, associated with the second George Ford nursery that was
originally located to the south on the property now occupied by Willard Junior High School. The house is significant for its
association with Ford, who helped to establish the Santa Ana area as an agricultural center through his specialization in the cultivation
of walnut trees. The house is also significant for its association with Mary Ford Watkins, a long-time resident who actively
participated in community life. Additional significance is derived from the nearly fifty-year association with the Pepito and Joanne
Dance Academy. Moreover, despite its alterations, the house is a noteworthy example of the Queen Anne style, particularly in its
incorporation of decorative shingling and woodwork and its treatment of the cant bays.
Character-defining exterior features of the Ford House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: original
materials and finishes, especially patterned shingles; roof configuration and elements; central porch; bays; and original fenestration

SUMMARYICONCLUSION:
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a
distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style and because it is characteristic of a
significant period in the history of Santa Ana, the agricultural era. Moreover, it is associated with several significant persons in the
City, including George Ford, a prominent and influential nurseryman, Mary Ford Watkins, a long-time and active Santa Ana resident,
and Pepito and Joanne Perez, entertainment personalities and operators of a long-lived local business (Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2).

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: BungalowICraftsman
DESCRIPTIONIBACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American BungalowlCraftsman 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.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and

This two-story residence is almost entirely hidden from view by fencing and vegetation. Features that can be seen include a front-
gabled roof and narrow clapboard siding. Rafters are exposed in the eaves. Multi-paned windows are irregularly arranged on the
upper story fa~ade. The lower story is hidden by a shed roof, possibly originally an attached porch and now containing an entry
flanked by windows. Integrity is unknown. Dotted by mature trees, the large property extends some distance to the west.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, this house was constructed for Sarah Ross in 1917, widow of Josiah Ross. Josiah and Sarah Ross had
journeyed to California with her in-laws, Jacob Ross, Sr., and Elizabeth Ross, and Josiah's brothers and sisters, by wagon from
Illinois in the mid-1860s. The family moved to the Santa Ana area in 1868, purchasing the land on which the town of Santa Ana was
founded in 1868 and 1869. This property, part of Washington Square, lay within the family holdings. Sarah Ross's sons George and
David had constructed homes immediately to the south in 1909. Her daughter, Ethel Wilson, moved into the house after Sarah Ross's
death in the early 1920s.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,

The area that would become Santa Ana lies between two of the missions established by the Spanish rulers of Mexico, Mission San
Gabriel, founded in 1771, and Mission San Juan Capistrano, dating to 1776. Mexico assumed control of Alta California in 1822 and
secularized the missions in 1834. Prior to the Mexican takeover, the Spanish rulers began a practice of granting grazing rights to large
tracts of land to soldiers and other supporters. This resulted in the creation of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, a vast holding of
62,5 16 acres encompassing most of present day Santa Ana, which was granted to Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Peralta in 18 10. By
mid century, the Yorba and Peralta families had been joined as landowners by many other "Californios" and by some of the American
settlers who began to trickle into the southern part of the state. The early 1860s witnessed a series of disasters, storms and floods
followed by drought, which forced these landowners to sell much of their land in search of debt relief.
Jacob and Elizabeth Ross came to California from Illinois in search of such an opportunity. With their purchases of portions of the
Yorba lands in 1868 and 1869, the Ross family became the first permanent Anglo residents of Santa Ana and put themselves in the
position of selling the land that would become the townsite to William Spurgeon in 1869. Of the five Ross children, four settled in
Santa Ana. The Rosses went on to play an active role in the settlement of the community. Their extensive property located northwest
of what was to become downtown Santa Ana included most of the neighborhood now known as Washington Square.
This house is historically significant for its association with the second and third generations of the Ross family and is notable for its
close proximity to two other Ross family houses, located at 1502 and 1516 North Flower. Character-defining exterior features of the
Ross-Wilson House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: original materials and finishes, roof configuration,
and original fenestration where extant.
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. The Ross-Wilson House has been categorized as
"Key" because it is associated with a significant person in the City, in this case, the Ross family, who were Santa Ana pioneers and
prominent residents (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and

Located on the west side of North Flower Street, this Craftsman bungalow is the middle of a group of three homes from the same
period with similar historic associations. This house, almost identical in appearance to 1502 North Flower Street, is characterized by a
bellcast, side gable roof that is punctuated by a central dormer with a bellcast hipped roof. Shingles cover the dormer; however, the
body of the house has been re-covered in stucco. A recessed porch spans the fa~ade, defined by a cobblestone porch wall and the
sturdy posts that support the roof overhang. Stone sidewalls also frame the stairs leading to the porch from the front path. The entry
is located in the center bay, flanked by double-hung and tripartite windows in the side bays. The house appears to be in substantially
original condition, with the exceptions of the porch supports that have been stuccoed and now form arched openings and the
replacement of the original siding.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, this bungalow was constructed for David Ross, grandson of Jacob Ross, Sr., and Elizabeth Ross, and
son of Josiah and Sarah Ross, a pioneer Santa Ana family that purchased the land on which Santa Ana was founded in 1868 and 1869.
It was one of two bungalows built by Francis Cooper in 1909 on North Flower Street for members of the Ross family. David Ross
continued the family tradition of farming, with substantial holdings in the north Santa Ana area (Treasures).

ZIP
HISTORIC DISTRICT
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
NIA NEIGHBORHOOD
broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
lg2OS.

Oleanders and other vegetation surround this one and half-story bungalow, almost completely obscuring it From view. Located at the
northwest comer of Fifteenth and Flower Streets, it is the southernmost of a group of three homes From the same period with similar
historic associations. This house, almost identical in appearance to 1516 North Flower Street, is characterized by a bellcast, side gable
roof that is punctuated by a central dormer with a bellcast hipped roof. A recessed porch spans the fa~ade, defined by a cobblestone
porch wall and the sturdy posts that support the roof overhang. The entry is located in the center bay, flanked by tripartite windows in
the side bays. The house appears to be in substantially original condition, although the original siding has been covered with asphalt
shingles.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, this bungalow was constructed for George Ross, grandson of Jacob Ross, Sr., and Elizabeth Ross and
son of Josiah and Sarah Ross, a pioneer Santa Ana family that purchased the land on which Santa Ana was founded in 1868 and 1869.
It was one of two bungalows built by Francis Cooper in 1909 on North Flower Street for members of the Ross family. George Ross
continued the family tradition of farming, with 700 acres at San OnoFre and 1200 acres at Trabuco Canyon under cultivation
(Treasures). As of 1944, the property was still owned by the Ross family.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
The area that would become Santa Ana lies between two of the missions established by the Spanish rulers of Mexico, Mission San
Gabriel, founded in 1771, and Mission San Juan Capistrano, dating to 1776. Mexico assumed control of Alta California in 1822 and
secularized the missions in 1834. Prior to the Mexican takeover. the Spanish rulers began a practice of granting grazing rights to large
tracts of land to soldiers and other supporters. This resulted in the creation of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, a vast holding of
62,516 acres encompassing most of present day Santa Ana, which was granted to Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Peralta in 1810. By
mid century, the Yorba and Peralta families had been joined as landowners by many other "Californios" and by some of the American
settlers who began to trickle into the southern part of the state. The early 1860s witnessed a series of disasters, storms and floods
followed by drought, which forced these landowners to sell much of their land in search of debt relief.
Jacob and Elizabeth Ross came to California from Illinois in search of such an opportunity. With their purchases of portions of the
Yorba lands in 1868 and 1869, the Ross family became the first permanent Anglo residents of Santa Ana and put themselves in the
position of selling the land that would become the townsite to William Spurgeon in 1869. Of the five Ross children, four settled in
Santa Ana. The Rosses went on to play an active role in the settlement of the community. Their extensive property located northwest
of what was to become downtown Santa Ana included most of the neighborhood now known as Washington Square.
This house is historically significant for its association with the third generation of the Ross family and is notable for its close
proximity to two other Ross family houses, located at 1516 and 1522 North Flower. It is also of architectural interest as an example
of the then prevalent Craftsman style. Character-defining exterior features of the G. W. Ross House, which should be preserved,
include but may not be limited to: original materials and finishes, especially stonework; roof configuration and elements such as the
dormer; front porch; and original fenestration where extant.
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. The G. W. Ross House has been categorized as
"Key" because it is associated with a significant person in the City, in this case, the Ross family, who were Santa Ana pioneers and
prominent residents (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Queen Anne (Late Victorian)
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
20 years of the 19" 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 the addition of other-regional interpretations. some of the most well developed examples can be found in
California and in the Southern states (McAlester, 263-268).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This one-story cottage is a simplified example of the cross-gabled subtype of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style, characterized by
a side-gabled wing bordered by a Front porch and a projecting Front-gabled wing. Porch detailing includes slender posts that divide
the space into two bays, elaborately carved brackets, and curvilinear balusters in the porch railing. A pent roof covers the space.
Three wooden steps lead up to the entry, which is distinguished by a lunette set over a paneled doorway within an elaborate surround.
A tall and narrow, two-over-two, double-hung sash window is centered within the porch; another is centered below the front gable. e Sheathed in shiplap siding, the building sits on a raised foundation covered with latticework. Building permits indicate the house has
been reroofed (possibly resulting in the elimination of eave detail), a new foundation constructed, and the porch restored.
Nonetheless, the design remains true to its late 19" century origins. The property also contains a one-story garage, sheathed in narrow
overlap siding and topped by a gabled roof that faces south onto Civic Drive; it was constructed after the period of significance in a
vernacular Craftsman style.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to Mrs. Luther J. Crowell (nee Henrietta Marie Duhart), who was interviewed in 1982 about her house at 804 North Baker
Street, her father, Bautista Duhart, purchased this house from Domingo Erramuspe, around 1902. Erramuspe was California born, the
son of immigrants from the Basses-Pyrenees region of France who took up sheep ranching in and around Santa Ana. Duhart was from
the same part of France and was also a sheep rancher. The four-acre parcel on which the house stood was bounded by Baker Street,
Hickey Street (later Eighth Street and now Civic Center West). and Bristol Street and was planted with walnuts, oranges, and lemons.
Bautista Duhart also owned a ranch on McClay Street, which he operated from the Baker Street property. Mrs. Crowell, who was two
years old when her family moved into the then approximately ten-year-old house, lived here for over ninety years. She was presented
with the Fall 1990 Historic Preservation Award by the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society in recognition of her efforts to
preserve the house.

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.
The economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned or worked on the ranches that
encircled the incorporated area. The Duhart House is a remnant from this era, associated with a particular segment of the community,
which immigrated to the area from France and took up sheep ranching and farming in Southern California. The Duhart House is
historically significant as one of a handful of ranch houses remaining in an area that was once liberally dotted with them. It is also
notable for its extraordinarily long association with one family. Bautista Duhart came to California from France in 1878, initially
settling in San Juan Capistrano and purchasing his properties in Santa Ana around 1900 and 1902. His daughter, Henrietta Duhart
Crowell, was still living in the house in the 1990s. The house is also noteworthy as an example of a building type, the Queen Anne
(Late Victorian) influenced fannhouse. Character-defining exterior features of the house, which should be preserved, include but may
not be limited to: roof configuration, porch treatment (columns, brackets, and railing), siding and foundation skirting, and original
doors and windows.
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 7, as a building that was connected with a business or use that was once common and is now rare. The Duhart House has
been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Queen Anne (Late
Victorian) Style; because it is characteristic of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana, the agricultural era; and because it is
associated with a significant person in the City, in this case, the DuhadCrowell family, long-time residents of Santa Ana (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). In addition, the property may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places if more research
into its association with Santa Ana's agricultural past, specifically sheep husbandry, confirms its significance.

The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial
celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian,
Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs, which are usually
symmetrical or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled,
sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and
frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds
and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights
in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have
wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and

The dominant feature of this one and a half-story residence is its manufactured stone exterior. A cross-gable roof caps the dwelling,
detailed with enclosed soffits and horizontal cornice returns. Recessed into the northwest comer of the building, a porch wraps onto
the west elevation beneath a shed roof. Paired columns with pronounced entasis sit on stone pedestals and carry the concrete beam
beneath the porch roof. A balustrade spans the pedestals. The porch beam extends across the fa~ade to act as header over the window
centered on the east half of the elevation. Another concrete header tops an opening centered beneath the gable on the upper story.
The lower story windows feature diamond paned transoms while the upper window has been converted into a multi-paned door
flanked by sidelights. A metal staircase has been attached to the facade to provide access to the upper level. No other alterations are
visible.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to previous research, this unusual house was constructed around 1912, perhaps as a ranch house. By the 1950s, it had been
converted into two units. Mrs. Lillie Nunn was the downstairs resident in 1956 with Peter Summers living in the upper unit
(Treasures).

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,

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 amval 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.
Well into the twentieth century, the agricultural underpinnings of Santa Ana's economy were apparent in the numerous farms and
ranches that surrounded the central core. This house, with its highly individual character and its then remote location in the northeast
comer of the community, may have been one of the ranch houses. The use of manufactured stone above the foundation, sometimes
called art stone, was more of an eastern phenomenon and as a consequence was highly unusual in Santa Ana and relatively rare in
Southern California as a whole. When it does appear, it is usually confined to specific building elements, such as a foundation, porch
wall, or chimney, or occasionally, the fa~ade of a commercial building. This property is therefore architecturally significant for its
uncommon use of manufactured stone.
Character-defining exterior features of the Nunn House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: manufactured
stone cladding; roof configuration and detailing; porch configuration and elements such as columns, pedestals, and balustrade;
a original doors and windows where extant; and architectural detailing such as concrete beams and headers.
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it
exemplifies "a particular design feature . . . ." The Nunn House has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive
architectural style and quality" as a rare example of the use of manufactured stone (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). If the exterior
metal staircase were removed, the Nunn House could merit "Landmark" categorization because of its "unique architectural
significance."

RE: HISTORIC REGISTER CATEGORIZATION NO. 01-141 FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 804 NORTH BAKER STREET
Dear Mr. Lang:
The purpose of this notice is to provide you with information regarding the historic property
listed under your ownership located at 804 North Baker Street, Santa Ana, California. The
Historic Resources Commission is currently in the process of categorizing those properties in the
City of recognized historical significance. At its meeting of December 6, 2001, the Historic
Resources Commission will conduct a public hearing to determine an appropriate category
designation to assign to your property on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. An
explanation of the various categories is provided below for your reference.
The Santa Ana City Council directed the Hjstoric Resources Commission to categorize all
properties on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property according to the appropriate historic
and architectural criteria that were adopted by the City Council on January 18, 2000. The
legislation included three distinct category designations. They include:
(a) Landmark Category
1. The building, landmark or district is on the National Register or appears to
be eligible to be placed on the register; or
2. The building, landmark or district is on the State Register or appears to be
eligible to be placed on the register; or
3. The building, landmark or district has a historic/cultural significance to the
City of Santa Ana; or
4. The building, landmark or district has a unique architectural significance.
Mr. George A. Lang
HRC NO. 01-141
804 North Baker Street
November 2 1,200 1
Page 2 of 2
(b) Key Category
1. The building, landmark or district has a distinctive architectural style and
quality; or
2. The building, landmark or district is characteristic of a significant period
in the history of the City of Santa Ana; or
3. The building, landmark or district is associated with a significant person or
event in the City of Santa Ana.
(c) Contributive Cateporv
The building, landmark or district contributes to the overall character and history
of a neighborhood or district and is a good example of period architecture and has
not been substantially altered.
The staff recommendation is that your property be categorized as a Key structure. A complete
staff report will be forwarded to you via mail on or about November 30, 2001, to assist in
providing you with appropriate background information.
Since your property is currently on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, this action
does not make your property subject to any additional City review processes or requirements. As
a property listed on the local Register there are some distinct protections under the federal, state,
and local historic preservation laws that may be afforded your property. In addition to the
protection rights under the historic legislation, there exist certain property tax benefits that may
be recognized under the Mills Act Legislation. You are encouraged to contact me at (714)
667-2754 for additional information concerning the preservation laws.
Sincerely,
J

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Queen Anne (Late Victorian)
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
20 years of the 19" 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 the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well developed examples can be found in
California and in the Southern states (McAlester, 263-268).

March 20, 1950. Relocate garage on present lot.
July 29, 1988. Front porch restoration (wood).
RELATED FEATURES: (Other important features such as barns, sheds, fences, prominent or unusual trees, or landscape)
None.
DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This one-story cottage is a simplified example of the cross-gabled subtype of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style, characterized by
a side-gabled wing bordered by a front porch and a projecting front-gabled wing. Porch detailing includes slender posts that divide
the space into two bays, elaborately carved brackets, and curvilinear balusters in the porch railing. A pent roof covers the space.
Three wooden steps lead up to the entry, which is distinguished by a lunette set over a paneled doorway within an elaborate surround.
A tall and narrow, two-over-two, double-hung sash window is centered within the porch; another is centered below the front gable.
Sheathed in shiplap siding, the building sits on a raised foundation covered with latticework. Building permits indicate the house has
been reroofed (possibly resulting in the elimination of eave detail), a new foundation constructed, and the porch restored.
Nonetheless, the design remains true to its late 19' century origins. The property also contains a one-story garage, sheathed in narrow
overlap siding and topped by a gabled roof that faces south onto Civic Drive; it was constructed after the period of significance in a
vernacular Craftsman style.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to Mrs. Luther J. Crowell (nee Henrietta Marie Duhart), who was interviewed in 1982 about her house at 804 North Baker
Street, her father, Bautista Duhart, purchased this house from Domingo Erramuspe, around 1902. Erramuspe was California born, the
son of immigrants from the Basses-Pyrenees region of France who took up sheep ranching in and around Santa Ana. Duhart was from
the same part of France and was also a sheep rancher. The four-acre parcel on which the house stood was bounded by Baker Street,
Hickey Street (later Eighth Street and now Civic Center West), and Bristol Street and was planted with walnuts, oranges, and lemons.
Bautista Duhart also owned a ranch on McClay Street, which he operated from the Baker Street property. Mrs. Crowell, who was two
years old when her family moved into the then approximately ten-year-old house, lived here for over ninety years. She was presented
with the Fall 1990 Historic Preservation Award by the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society in recognition of her efforts to
preserve the house.

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.
The economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned or worked on the ranches that
encircled the incorporated area. The Duhart House is a remnant from this era, associated with a particular segment of the community,
which immigrated to the area from France and took up sheep ranching and farming in Southern California. The Duhart House is
historically significant as one of a handful of ranch houses remaining in an area that was once liberally dotted with them. It is also
notable for its extraordinarily long association with one family. Bautista Duhart came to California from France in 1878, initially
settling in San Juan Capistrano and purchasing his properties in Santa Ana around 1900 and 1902. His daughter, Henrietta Duhart
Crowell, was still living in the house in the 1990s. The house is also noteworthy as an example of a building type, the Queen Anne
(Late Victorian) influenced farmhouse. Character-defining exterior features of the house, which should be preserved, include but may
not be limited to: roof configuration, porch treatment (columns, brackets, and railing), siding and foundation skirting, and original
doors and windows.
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 7, as a building that was connected with a business or use that was once common and is now rare. The Duhart House has
been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Queen Anne (Late
Victorian) Style; because it is characteristic of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana, the agricultural era; and because it is
associated with a significant person in the City, in this case, the Duhart/Crowell family, long-time residents of Santa Ana (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). In addition, the property may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places if more research
into its association with Santa Ana's agricultural past, specifically sheep husbandry, confirms its significance.
