<br />*1310. Significance (continued):
<br />Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Young -Keeler House is located has been
<br />known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower
<br />Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time,
<br />the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and
<br />1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315
<br />North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950,
<br />around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed
<br />throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
<br />The Young -Keeler House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
<br />embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the
<br />prominent Santa Ana builder and developer team of Roy Russell and Son. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
<br />"Contributive" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" representing the Ranch House style in Santa Ana
<br />(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Young -Keeler House include, but may not be
<br />limited to: materials and finishes (brick, stucco, horizontal wood board lapped siding, and board -and -batten siding);
<br />moderately pitched side -gabled roof design; wide open eaves with exposed rafters; decorative pointed eave extensions;
<br />wood porch supports with triangular braces; and fenestration (diamond- and multi -pane hung, tripartite, and casement
<br />windows where extant); and architectural detailing (shutters).
