Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Simplicity of massing and design characterizes this one-story, east-facing farmhouse of the Hall-and-Parlor type. Topped by a medium-pitched side gable roof, the building is sheathed in shiplap siding trimmed with corner boards. An open, shed- roofed porch spans the facade, elevated a few steps above ground level. Unornamented posts sit on a wooden porch floor to support the porch roof. Three equally spaced openings are shaded by the porch roof: an entry in the center bay flanked by a single two-over-two double-hung sash window in each side bay. Nearly identical side elevations contain two double-hung sash windows topped by a smaller attic window. Molded lintels adorn the windows on the north elevation. A shed roof extension on the rear elevation was most likely an addition. Records indicate that the concrete entry steps and concrete foundation are not original. Other alterations include metal security bars covering some windows, a metal fence surrounding the property, and the addition of two rear buildings (two duplexes constructed in 1957). Despite these changes, the house is substantially original on the exterior and in good condition. Due to re-alignment of McFadden Avenue, the property, which originally was located north of McFadden, is now located on a cul-de-sac immediately south of the street. *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1873-1931 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 1116 South Cypress Avenue house is significant as a rare and highly intact example of an early farmhouse designed in the Hall-and-Parlor variant of the Folk House tradition in Santa Ana. Based on its architectural characteristics, the house is estimated to date from circa 1895. The property lies south of the portions of the Eastside neighborhood that had been subdivided by the early decades of the twentieth century and first appears on the 1949 Sanborn map. In 1916, the Santa Ana City Directory lists Baltazar Duarte, a laborer, as the renter of the house. In 1918 Jose Moreno and wife Marie were listed as owners. The 1920 directory shows the house as vacant, with all properties from 1106 – 1118 South Cypress Avenue being listed as either “vacant,” or “Mexican” with the exception of 1117 which shows “Arrias” as a renter.

Significance (continued): Located southeast of downtown Santa Ana, the Eastside neighborhood is bounded by First Street on the north, McFadden Avenue on the south, Standard Avenue on the east and Main Street on the west. Situated south of the tract purchased by William Spurgeon in 1869 and recorded as original town of Santa Ana in 1870, the neighborhood’s beginnings date to the same period. In 1868, Nelson O. Stafford and Columbus Tustin, both from Petaluma, California, purchased 1359 acres of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana south of what would become First Street. The following year, the two men split the property, with Mr. Tustin obtaining 703 acres of the eastern portion upon which he founded the town of Tustin in 1870. Stafford’s western acreage, thereafter called the Stafford Tract, lay south of First Street, east of Main Street, and north of McFadden Street, the area now known as Eastside. After selling a portion of this property, Nelson Stafford settled on his land in 1873, building a large house for his young wife and their children. Stafford died in 1878, and his widow, Amanda, opened the house to boarders, one of whom was Robert James Blee, formerly of Pennsylvania. In 1880, Blee bought 36 acres of land at the corner of First and Main Streets from Mrs. Stafford, including the Stafford residence. Blee married Amanda Stafford in 1882. Monroe David Halladay was another pioneer who made a significant contribution to the development of the Eastside neighborhood. Halladay came from Michigan to Santa Ana in 1876 for health reasons and purchased 20 acres from Nelson Stafford. Halladay built his first home in 1877 on East First Street, surveying and selling a few lots of his property but never platting it. In 1887, Chestnut, Pine, and Walnut Streets were laid out on his land; then, in 1888, Halladay sold ten acres of the property. On his remaining ten acres he grew raisins, walnuts, and apples. Also in 1888, Halladay built and occupied the magnificent Stick/Eastlake (Late Victorian) house that still stands on the southwest corner of East Chestnut and Halladay Streets. An 1887 map of Santa Ana, drawn a year after Santa Ana’s incorporation as a city, documents the early growth of the neighborhood, with house-sized lots lining both sides of Cypress Street and the west side of Orange Avenue between First and Chestnut Streets as well Walnut, Pine, and Chestnut Streets between Maple and Hickory Streets. The remainder of the Eastside area was divided into large parcels owned by Blee, Halladay, his elder brother, banker Daniel Halladay, and others. Maps drawn in 1898 and 1913 reveal that the neighborhood had expanded to south, with additional subdivisions along Cypress and Orange platted during this period. As a result of this pattern of development, the northwestern section of the neighborhood was improved with homes in the Victorian era Queen Anne and Eastlake styles. Colonial Revival turn-of-the- century residences and later Craftsman bungalows followed in the southwest portion of the neighborhood. The southeastern section of the neighborhood was the last portion to be subdivided and was initially developed in the 1920s, with the Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival styles predominating. Post World War II construction consumed the remaining unimproved land. Despite unsympathetic infill, dating primarily to the last quarter of the twentieth century, and inappropriate alterations, the Eastside neighborhood retains numerous intact examples of residences from the significant period of its development which occurred between 1873, when Stafford built his house (no longer extant), and 1931, when construction tapered off as a result of the Great Depression. The Duarte House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as a rare and intact example of a Folk House (Hall-and-Parlor variant) farmhouse from the late nineteenth century. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” for its distinctive architectural style and quality. Characteristic Folk House (Hall-and-Parlor variant) features include the side gable massing, overall simplicity, shed-roofed porch, and the Victorian era character of the fenestration. Character-defining exterior features of the Duarte House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (shiplap); roof configuration; massing; porch; windows and doors; and architectural details such as molded lintels. *B12.
