Also address integrity) The Liggitt-Hayes House is significant as a characteristic example of a bungalow type that flourished in the years between 1919 and 1925. According to building permit records, it was constructed in 1921 for H. N. Hayes. Harry Hayes was Assistant Secretary of the Reliance Title Company in the 1920s, and office manager of the Santa Ana Water Department in the 1930s. Anna Hayes, nee Witts, came from a pioneer Santa Ana family (Treasures). Previous research has also associated this house with Delbert and Ruby Liggitt, proprietors of the D. E. Liggitt Lumber Company in Santa Ana. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

Significance (continued): 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. Initially, residential development of Santa Ana was concentrated in the vicinity of the civic and commercial centers, located around the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets. By the second decade of the twentieth century, however, the city had expanded outwards. Neighborhoods such as French Court, north of the earlier French Park district, were improved with bungalows, the most popular residential type of the era. In the years between 1919 and 1925, a significant number of bungalows combined Colonial Revival features such as Tuscan columns and symmetry with Craftsman elements such as exposed structural parts, porches, and pergolas. The Liggitt-Hayes House is significant as a good and intact example of this building type. Included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Liggitt-Hayes House has been categorized as “Contributive.” Characteristic features include the side-gabled roof, three bay configuration, nearly symmetrical composition, and inclusion of both Craftsman and Colonial Revival elements. Character-defining exterior features of the Liggitt-Hayes House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; three bay composition; porch and pergola; original doors and windows; and architectural detailing such as columns and rafter tails. *B12.
