Also address integrity) The Hendrie House is historically significant as one of the original agricultural properties in the Washington Square neighborhood. It is also architecturally interesting as an example of a typical, 1920s bungalow. The first year the address appeared in the city directories was 1905, when Delbert Dale, a fruit grower, and Mrs. A. J. Dale were listed at 1110 West Washington Avenue. In 1910, two ministers and their wives, the Reverend Jesse L. and Mrs. Evelyn Field and the Reverend Theodore A. and Mrs. Edith Waltrip, were residents at this address. In 1914, Isaac Hendrie came to Santa Ana and purchased seven acres on West Washington, including this property. Born in Iowa, the son of a farmer and Senator, Isaac (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.)

Heumann, SAIC *Date July 28, 2003 ⌧ Continuation Update DPR 523L *B10. Significance (continued): Hendrie had followed his father to Colorado and then to Long Beach before settling in Santa Ana. He planted four acres of his new property in apricots and the rest in walnuts, but became known most for his extensive poultry business, with 3,000 White Leghorn chickens and an incubator house among his assets. Building permits taken out by the “Hendrie Brothers” in 1919 and 1920 document the additions of a hen house and a granary to the property. Nothing is known about the other brother; no listings in city directories or mentions in Isaac Hendrie’s biography were found. Isaac and his wife Maude had five children, some of whom lived with their parents at this address as adults: Harry, who was a bookkeeper at the Edison Company, James, who was a partner in the Jerome and Hendrie Service Station located at 320 West Fifth Street, and Walter, who worked for his brother at the service station. Apparently, the original house on the property was removed and replaced, because in 1922, permit for a residence costing $3,500 was issued to the “Hendrie Brothers.” That date is appropriate for the architectural style of the present house. The Hendrie family stayed at this address through 1940. According to neighbors today (2003), a barn still remains on the property, which was the site of a walnut grove. The presence of a barn could not be confirmed from the public right-of-way. 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 Hendrie 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 Hendrie House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 7 as a former farmhouse, a building that was “connected with a business or use which was once common, but is now rare” in Santa Ana and under Criterion 1, as a building with the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period.” Stylistic signatures such as the symmetrical one-story massing, clapboard siding, clipped or jerkinhead gable roof, and tripartite windows are notable in this regard. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington Square neighborhood as a surviving home from the agricultural era, and is a “good example of period architecture” as an unaltered 1920s Craftsman bungalow influenced by the Colonial Revival. Character defining exterior features of the Hendrie House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (clapboard, wood, brick); roof configuration and treatment; massing and composition; entry, doors and windows; porch and pergolas; garage/barn; architectural detailing (exposed beams); chimney; and garage.
