*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
Strongly horizontal lines and a distinctive porch treatment are among the features that distinguish this one story Craftsman
bungalow. Constructed on the southeast corner of East Bishop and South Halladay Streets, the house is capped by a cross-
gabled roof that incorporates a front-gable over the porch and a front-gabled dormer. Typical Craftsman roof features include
exposed rafter tails, triangular knee braces, and carved bargeboards. Narrow clapboard sheathes the asymmetrical house.
Windows include fixed single sashes and one-over-one, double-hung sash with Craftsman surrounds; windows and vents in
the gable ends display peaked lintels. Spanning the façade, the recessed porch wraps around the southwest corner of the
house and rests on an art stone foundation. Art stone pedestals topped by plain and battered piers support unusually
scalloped porch roof beams. A railing of concrete, classically formed balusters with concrete handrails encloses the porch
space. Concrete porch steps lead to a central entry, which consists of a broadly proportioned Craftsman wood door flanked
by sidelights and outlined by a battered surround. Plate glass windows to either side of the entry also feature exaggerated

The Clinard House is architecturally significant as a distinctive example of a Craftsman bungalow from the early years of the
twentieth century in Santa Ana. An estimated date of construction of circa 1910 is based on architectural style. No evidence
for the existence of the house has been discovered prior to a 1930 city directory listing, which states that Mr. Barney P.
Clinard, a rancher, resided at this address. Early maps of the Eastside neighborhood indicate that this area consisted of large,
unsubdivided parcels prior to this time.

*P3a. Description (continued):
horizontal dimensions. A slender art stone chimney with a corbelled cap emerges along the ridgeline. The property is
surrounded by a non-original concrete block and metal fence. Several mature pine trees shade the house, which is
substantially unaltered and in good condition. A one-story, front-gabled garage in the rear of the property appears to be more
recent than the house, and does not contribute to the historic significance of the property.
*B10. 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 Clinard House appears to qualify for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C. It also qualifies
for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and notably detailed example of the
distinguishing characteristics of a Craftsman residence from the first decades of the twentieth century. Additionally, the
house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as a fully realized and remarkably
individualistic example of the Craftsman style. Noteworthy features of this highly intact house include its horizontal lines,
conveyed by the massing, roof treatment, materials, and broadly proportioned windows; the exposure and embellishment of
structural elements such as the unusually curved porch beams; the incorporation of a capacious porch into the plan; the use
of art stone as a secondary material; and the emphasis on the generously sized, wood front door. Character-defining exterior
features of the Clinard House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (clapboard) and
materials (art stone); roof configuration; massing; windows and doors; porch and bays; architectural details such as triangular
knee braces, rafter tails, carved porch roof beams, and concrete balustrades; and mature pine trees.
