Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) The most notable feature of this 1906 two-story house is the pentagonal turret with conical roof projecting from its upper southwest corner. The house exhibits box-like massing with a steeply pitched, pyramidal hipped roof. Narrow clapboard sheathes the walls and porch railings. Most windows are double-hung sash. The house shares characteristics of several styles: Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival. The turret with boxed and bracketed eaves and the second story bay window are suggestive of the Queen Anne style. Craftsman features include exposed rafter tails and a large tripartite window on the first floor, north of the entrance. The window has a fixed center pane and sidelights topped by a multipane transom. The front porch is recessed into the southwest corner of the building. Three columns with exaggerated entasis supporting the porch roof are Colonial Revival in style. Closely spaced brackets line the frieze separating the first and second floors. An oval window distinguishes a first floor cant bay on the south elevation. Another cant bay, with a squared bay above, is located on the north elevation. The house was moved to the site in 1987 from the southeast corner of Sycamore and Pine Streets and has been fully restored. The front door screen, pole lamp, and picket fence were added later. *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1880-1946 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Duggan House is a characteristic example of the eclecticism popular In the early years of the twentieth century, combining Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival stylistic elements. Although constructed elsewhere and moved to this site in 1987, the Duggan House is representative of the period, architecture, and historical associations that characterize French Park and thus is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, William and Clara Duggan were the original owners. Mr. Duggan was in the insurance business and active in civic affairs. The Duggans lived in the house for decades; William Duggan passed away in 1930 and his widow, Clara, remained in the house until her death in 1947 (Marsh, 1998). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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. One of the activities undertaken in support of the historic district has been the relocation of several historic homes slated for demolition into French Park. The Duggan 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 blending of architectural styles popular in the early years of the twentieth century. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance. Characteristic Queen Anne (Late Victorian) features include the five-sided turret and bay windows. Rafter tails and the tripartite window are Craftsman in design. The trio of porch columns suggest the Colonial Revival style. All original and restored exterior features of the Duggan House are character-defining and should be preserved, including: materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; turret; bay and other windows (including surrounds); front door; porch details; and architectural details such as brackets, rafter tails, and columns. *B12.
