Also address integrity) <br />The Rose House is historically significant for its contribution to the National Register of Historic Places -listed French Park <br />historic district and architecturally significant for its association with architect Frederick Eley. It is a good example of Eley's <br />work in the Craftsman style, with its low-pitched side -gabled roof treatment, strongly horizontal lines, and use of wood <br />reminiscent of Swiss and Japanese architectural traditions. Eley has been labeled, with reason, Santa Ana's premier historic <br />architect. He was born and educated in England, migrated to Canada, and eventually landed in Santa Ana in 1911. He <br />opened an architectural practice and within two years had built a substantial portfolio of architectural commissions throughout <br />Orange County that included several schools, numerous residences, and a variety of commercial and institutional buildings. <br />He.proved himself to be master of many architectural oeuvres, including the Craftsman style, which he demonstrated in his <br />design for this house. <br />The Rose House was in 1911 and the first known resident was Sarah E. Bloodgood. Ms. Bloodgood originally purchased the <br />property from W.H. Spurgeon Realty Company and ultimately built the Rose House for the amount of $3,000. After a twelve <br />month illness Ms. Bloodgood passed in 1912. In 1915, Mr and Mrs. W.S. Rose purchased the residence for $3,500. Little is <br />known about Mr. W.S. Rose. However, Mrs. W.S. Rose was president of the Santa Ana Women's Christian Temperance <br />Union (W. C. T. U.) and hosted a number of community organizations and social events. Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Rose continued to <br />live in the residence until at least 1963. According to city directories, the next resident was Thomas B. Gorman, who resided <br />at the property until 2015. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) Sketch Map <br />Rose House <br />B11.
