Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This impressive Craftsman home occupies a double lot at the southwest edge of the Park Santiago neighborhood. The building is topped by a side-gabled roof with shaped rafter tails and braces exposed in the eaves. It appears to be one and a half stories from the street, but actually has a full second story with an attic in the rear. A double dormer, front-gabled and trimmed with a decoratively carved bargeboard, is centered over the façade and is a focal point of the design. Beneath latticework vents, the dormer contains a broadly proportioned, tripartite window. Narrow clapboard sheathes the structure. Spanning the lower story façade, a recessed porch is defined by an arched beam supported by paneled and tapered posts. Decorative cutouts distinguish the porch railing. Another tripartite window, banded by a multi-light transom, overlooks the south half of the porch. The entry, at the north end of the porch, contains an oak door with a large, beveled glass window in its upper half. All of the window and door openings feature tapered surrounds with slightly extended lintels. North of this highly intact house, a one-story garage that echoes the design of the house was constructed in 1990. The property is surrounded by a modern wrought iron fence and is complemented by trees in the garden and in the parkway. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Also address integrity) The Enderle House is architecturally significant as a picturesque and intact example of a Craftsman bungalow from the first quarter of the twentieth century and historically notable for its association with a prominent Orange County family. According to Orange County Tax Assessor’s property records, the house was constructed in 1909. The first listing in the city directories, however, occurred in 1912; in 1911, the directory had noted that Poinsettia was “not built on.” From 1912 through at least 1920, the residents of the house were listed as the Misses Clara, Katherine, and Matilda Enderle. Clara Enderle was teacher at the (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

Significance (continued): Tustin City School while Matilda Enderle worked as a secretary for the Orange County Mutual Insurance Company. Mrs. Magdalena Enderle lived briefly at the house in the mid-1910s before moving to Hannibal, Missouri. Clara, Katherine, and Matilda Enderle were sisters of Herman Enderle, a foundry operator turned rancher who came to Orange County in 1892 from Iowa to work with the Santa Fe Railroad. His son, Maurice Enderle, achieved prominence in the community as the Orange County Assessor from 1944 to 1951. The sisters sold the house in the 1920s to the Blower family (still the owners as of 1949, per the City building permits) in order to live with their brother on his ranch in Tustin (now the site of the Enderle Center). Rehabilitated in the 1990s by Naomi Estrine, its fourth owner, the house was featured on the 1999 Holiday Home Tour of Park Santiago. The Enderle House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present northern city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of the original city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II. The Enderle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its “unique architectural significance” as a decoratively detailed example of the Craftsman style. The characteristic Craftsman features of horizontal massing and exposed structural elements have been supplemented by the decorative treatment of the gable ends, rafter tails, and porch. All original and restored exterior features of the Enderle House are considered character-defining and should be preserved. These features include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing (bargeboards, rafter tails, braces); massing; windows and doors (including surrounds); porch; architectural details (porch posts, railing, and beams, attic vents); and porch steps.
