Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This Colonial Revival farmhouse incorporates an intersecting gambrel roof into its design, making the house one of the earlier examples of the Dutch Colonial variant in Santa Ana. The gambrel ends are detailed with attic vents, boxed eaves, and horizontal cornice returns at the termination of the upper slope of the gambrel. A pent roof tops the lower level of the house. Narrow clapboard sheathes both levels of the building. Spanning the façade, a recessed porch is divided into three bays by pairs of slender wood posts with simple bases and capitals. The entry is offset to the right (south), framed by fluted pilasters and topped by a simple cornice. A shallow bay window with paneled spandrels occupies the northern portion of the lower façade. Most windows are four-over-four double-hung sash in type. Shutters have been added to the upper story windows. In the rear of the lot, a side-gabled garage has been modified by the replacement of the garage door. A picket fence bordering the front yard is a compatible addition to this property, which retains a high degree of integrity. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Also address integrity) The Goodwin House is architecturally significant as an early example of the Dutch Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana and historically significant as one of the remaining farmhouses in the neighborhood. Based on the architectural style and on listings in the city directories, it appears that the house was constructed circa 1903. Its initial appearance in the directories occurred in 1905, when Joseph R. Goodwin, a fruit grower, and his wife, Margaret J. Goodwin, were noted as the only residents of “C Street,” the former name of Santiago Street. By 1915, the name had been changed to Santiago, probably (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Heumann, SAIC *Date December 31, 2003 ⌧ Continuation Update DPR 523L *B10. Significance (continued): reflecting the subdivision of the street. In 1912, the plat map of the City indicated that “M. J. Goodwin” was the owner of 13.75 acres on the east side of C Street, perhaps referring to Mrs. Goodwin. The Goodwins occupied the property until at least 1920. The Goodwin 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 Goodwin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Dutch Colonial variant of the Colonial Revival style and under Criterion 7, as a building connected with a business or use, agriculture, which was once common and is now rare. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as one of the few examples of the Dutch Colonial variant of the Colonial Revival in Santa Ana, and, as one of the few remaining farmhouses in the City, “the building is characteristic of significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana.” The signature element of the Dutch Colonial, the gambrel roof, is present, as well as the Classical detailing and double-hung sash windows associated with more typical Colonial homes. Character-defining exterior features of the Goodwin House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch; architectural details (porch supports, window and door surrounds, etc.); and mature tree(s). *B12.
