HRCA No. 2020-11, HRC No. 2020-10, HPPA No. 2020-13 October 29, 2020 Page 2 established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 66 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Young -Keeler House, is located within the West Floral Park neighborhood boundaries and has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch House style. The residence was built in 1954 by local prominent builder Roy Roscoe Russell. In the late 1920s and 1930s, Russell continued to develop the groves of West Floral Park. In the early post World War II years, West Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single- family houses were built. Another developer and builder credited with development of parts of West Floral Park was Allison Honer, credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front fagade, and features a moderately pitched side - gabled roof design with a single hipped extension along the front, and two front -facing gable extensions at the rear (east) elevation. The roof design exhibits wide open eaves with exposed rafters along the front (west) and rear (east) elevations and features side -gabled ends with decorative pointed eave extensions along the side (north and south) elevation. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of brick, smooth stucco, horizontal wood board lapped siding, and board -and -batten siding. Located off -center and sheltered under the main roof, the entry is characterized by board -and -batten siding, a brick veneer base, and simple wood porch supports with triangular braces to each side. The entry features a wood door with a large window pane with crisscross pattern design, as well as wood casement windows with multiple lights. The front (west) elevation, south of the entry, is characterized by the gabled extension that features a large tripartite picture window, with the crisscross pattern design and a large central pane, as well as additional wood casement windows with multiple lights. Along the north, south, and east elevation, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including six -over -six and horizontal pane sashes, and a tripartite with a multiple light central pane and horizontal edge panes. An exterior brick chimney located along the rear (east) elevation rises above the roof ridgeline. Character -defining features of the Young -Keeler House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (brick, stucco, horizontal wood board lapped siding, and board -and - batten siding); moderately pitched side -gabled roof design; wide open eaves with exposed rafters; decorative pointed eave extensions; wood porch supports with triangular braces; and 25C-317
