Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This one-story Craftsman bungalow retains substantial design integrity. Topped by a low-pitched, front-gable roof with rafters exposed in its eaves, the building is clad in narrow clapboard. Vertical slats of alternating widths create an attic vent in the gable end. An attached porch is centered on the façade and is defined by a gable whose pitch echoes that of the main gable. Gray and white brick piers topped by tapered posts support the porch gable. Spanning the porch posts, a beam is decorated by a band of dentils arranged to suggest a slight peak in the center. The porch is entered via two cement steps from the side and enclosed by a single horizontal rail. A pergola extends from the porch to the south and terminates in two posts. Two tripartite windows, distinguished by bands of small lights across the top of each sash, flank the central entry. The “knit brick” pattern of the porch piers is repeated on the chimney that is attached to the south elevation of the house. A “Hollywood driveway,” with its center strip of grass, leads to the rear of the property where a low picket fence separates the house from a yard that appears to contain mature trees. The garage is not visible. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property *P4.

Also address integrity) The Tidball House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a late Craftsman bungalow and one of the earlier homes to be constructed in the Park Santiago neighborhood. According to the building permit records, the house was built in 1923 for a cost of $3,800 at a time when there were only a handful of homes on Santiago Street. The house was erected for Reverend Milford Tidball, who lived there with his wife Mina through at least 1935. It is unknown with which congregation Reverend Tidball was associated; however, the David Tidball family, presumably relatives, were noted in one historical account as members of the the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Ana.

Significance (continued): The Tidball 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 Tidball 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 “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Park Santiago neighborhood, and, as a late Craftsman bungalow, “is a good example of period architecture.” Typical Craftsman elements such as horizontal lines keynoted by the broadly pitched roof and exposed structure features such as the rafters and pergola have been paired with the symmetry that often characterized Craftsman homes of the 1920s. Character-defining exterior features of the Tidball House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch and pergola; chimney; architectural details (such as the porch supports, dentil course, and attic vent); and “Hollywood driveway.” *B12.
