*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
A side gabled roof with front-facing shed-roofed dormer caps this one-story Craftsman bungalow. Carved rafter tails and
exposed beams are exposed in the broad eaves. An awning-type multi-pane window fills the dormer face. The house is
clad in asbestos shingles. On the southeast corner, two square wooden posts support the shingled beam of a cutaway
porch. A shingled balustrade encloses the porch. South of the entrance, a fixed window with transom is the twin of an
identical window on the north half of the façade. A wood-framed screen door covers a multi-paned entrance door, both
probably added in the 1920s. A squared bay with shed roof and paired double-hung sash windows projects from the north
elevation. Paired vents are located in the gable ends. Other than the asbestos siding and a chain link fence, the house is
original and in good condition. The 1922 garage on the northwest corner of the property is front-gabled with rafter tails and
wide clapboard siding, and is also in good condition.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Haynes House is a representative example of a modest Craftsman bungalow. The house maintains the integrity of the
street and is therefore important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. Previous research indicates that the
original owners were Francis and Josie Haynes. Mr. Haynes taught music, holding classes in his home. By 1920, Leonard
and Abyline Rowell resided in the house. Leonard Rowell was the manager of the Kay and Burbank Company, “auto
electricians,” located at 210 North Main Street in Santa Ana. In 1923, insurance agent Thomas Murphy, and wife Sadie were
in residence (Marsh, 1998).

*B10. 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. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western
Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into
Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to
the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on
Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of “Santa Ana East” never materialized. Early
growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result
that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small,
triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow,
stimulated by the arrival of 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.
Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with
many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along
the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled
single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From
the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a “Who’s Who” of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors,
businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.
Once known as the “Nob Hill” of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted
into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the
properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to
the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic
Places in 1999.
The Haynes House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic
District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the
locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1
as a representative example of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because
it is a “good example” of the Bungalow/Craftsman style and “has not been substantially altered.” Character-defining exterior
features of the Haynes House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials (wood); roof
configuration and detailing; massing; porch; windows (including surrounds); and architectural details such as exposed beams
and rafter tails.
