Significance: Theme Commercial Development Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1880-1946 Property Type: Commercial Building Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Waite’s Saloon is primarily of interest for its role in maintaining the historic scale, materials, and storefront configuration of the Fourth Street streetscape. It is similar in size and appearance to the Crabtree Saloon building across the street (219 West Fourth Street). According to previous research, this small commercial building was constructed in 1888 and became Ed Waite’s Saloon and Billiard Hall prior to the turn of the twentieth century. By 1901, Ed Waite’s business at this address was listed in the city directory as a cigar store and billiard hall, perhaps in anticipation of the city-wide closure of saloons in 1903, when Santa Ana became a dry city. Subsequently, a meat market was located at this address. From 1935 until 1977, Mattingly’s, a women’s shop, occupied the property (Thomas 7:30; Les). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. By the end of the 1880s, Santa Ana’s downtown business district was defined by five city blocks of brick commercial buildings on Fourth Street, with the heart of the city at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets (Thomas, 8:1). The early 1900s witnessed the construction of many new business blocks or remodels along Fourth and the adjacent streets, and by the 1920s Santa Ana’s downtown had expanded in all directions to include both commercial and civic development. Waite’s Saloon, although remodeled since its original construction, dates to the earliest period of the history of Fourth Street. Waite’s Saloon has been listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties although it was omitted from the National Register of Historic Places Historic District in downtown Santa Ana. Additionally, the building has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of downtown Santa Ana as a building dating from 1888 and through its physical role as part of the historic streetscape of Fourth Street and is “a good example of period architecture” as a representative example of a Fourth Street storefront. *B12.
