Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This one-story residence is distinguished by its use of the Streamlined Moderne style. Covered in smooth stucco, the building is capped by a flat roof. A single band of coping emphasizes the roofline. The most noteworthy feature of the house is the northeast corner, which is rounded and glazed with a row of six undivided casement windows. A flat canopy whose fascia echoes the line of the roof coping projects over the south two thirds of the façade. It shades an entry in the center and a horizontal picture window flanked by a single casement window that abuts the southeast corner. Set back from the façade, a garage whose flat roof is slightly higher that that of the house is attached to the north elevation. Simply landscaped with a lawn and shrubs, the house appears to be substantially original from the street. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property *P4.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1888-1953 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Hagan House is architecturally significant as an unusual example of the residential use of the Streamlined Moderne style in Santa Ana. It was constructed in 1937 at a cost of $4,000 for C. W. Hill, a General Electric dealer who apparently never lived in the house. By 1939, Merritt E. and Hattie Hagan had occupied the property. Mr. Hagan was the proprietor of the Empire Grocery located at 208 North Broadway. He was still in residence at least as late as 1953, when he added a workshop to the property.

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 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 Hagan 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 brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, 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 II. During the 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 California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Hagan House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period,” the Streamlined Moderne. Signature features of the style displayed on the house include the incorporation of a rounded corner, the use of a flat roof and canopy, and the juxtasposition of horizontal and vertical elements and volumes. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an unusual and intact example in Santa Ana of a Streamlined Moderne home from the 1930s. Character defining exterior features of the Hagan House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration and treatment; massing and composition (asymmetry, rounded corner); doors and windows (type and placement); garage; and architectural detailing (canopy, banding). *B12.
