Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) A hipped roof with a centered, front-gabled dormer caps this two-story example of the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival style. Roof treatment includes a decorative bargeboard in the gable end and shallow, boxed eaves set above an unadorned frieze. Clapboard siding, trimmed with corner boards, covers the building. Occupying the south half of the first floor façade, a cant bay features a central fixed window with leaded glazing in the transom and double-hung side windows with elaborately carved brackets. Providing visual balance for the bay, a porch is recessed into the north half of the first floor façade. Tuscan columns sit atop a stick railing. The porch contains the entry and a rectangular leaded glass window set high on the wall north of the doorway. A visible alteration of the building is the enclosure of a porch on the south elevation, which apparently utilized an original glazed and paneled door. Building records indicate that a substantial addition to the northwest (rear) elevation of the house occurred in 1921. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Also address integrity) The Killey House is a substantially intact, late nineteenth century residence which combines characteristics of the Colonial Revival and Queen Anne (Late Victorian) styles. Colonial Revival elements include the Tuscan columns and boxed eaves and Classic Box massing, while the bay window with leaded glass transom and carved corner brackets suggests the Queen Anne era. Previous research shows that the original owner was C. Killey, wagon maker, and his wife (Treasures). In 1909 a retired Methodist minister, Reverend Albert Dearing, and his wife Mathilda purchased the house. A prominent member of the temperance movement, Rev. Dearing came originally from Maine, arriving in California in 1882. He purchased and farmed twenty acres of land on Main and Santa Clara. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

He died in 1924 and his wife Mathilda lived there for a few more years (Treasures). 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. Early growth and development were stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. The development of southern California is general and Santa Ana in particular experienced a large boost in the second half of the 1880s, when competition between the two railroads triggered a real estate boom. The Killey House is significant as an example of a building type that was popular from the mid 1890s until about 1910. A distinctive architectural type, the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival was often detailed with features derived from various styles, as the Killey House illustrates. The Killey House is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as “Key.” Despite the porch enclosure and rear addition, the Killey House possesses substantial integrity from its late nineteenth century construction. Character defining exterior features of the Killey House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; bay; porch; windows, leaded glass, and doors; and architectural detailing such as brackets and corner boards. *B12.
