EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Security Bank Building <br />888 North Main Street <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />NAME <br />Security Bank Building <br />REF. NO. <br />ADDRESS <br />888 North Main Street <br />CITY <br />Santa Ana <br />ZIP <br />1 92701 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />YEAR BUILT <br />1964-1965 <br />LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Landmark <br />HISTORIC DISTRICT <br />None <br />NEIGHBORHOOD <br />North Main Commercial <br />Corridor <br />CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION <br />All & <br />CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE <br />3S <br />Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted <br />❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: New Formalism <br />New Formalism began in the 1960s as a rejection of the strict Modernism that had stripped buildings of all ornamentation. <br />New Formalism employed highly stylized forms based on Classical precedents in terms of building proportion and scale, <br />and featured strict symmetry and the suggestion of columns and entablatures. Flat -roofed, frequently with a heavy, <br />overhanging roof slab, New Formalist buildings featured smooth exteriors of concrete, stone, or marble. The usually <br />single volume buildings were either rectangular or circular and often set on podiums. The use of a colonnade as a <br />compositional device, the introduction of arches (often elliptical), and the use of ornamental screens of concrete, metal, <br />and stone also characterize New Formalist buildings. At the same time, buildings designed in a New Formalist style <br />made use of new technologies that allowed for a more plastic and fluid use of concrete. The style was popularized <br />nationally by architects Minoru Yamasaki and Edward Durrell Stone, as well as by Southern California architects including <br />Welton Becket and Associates and Pereira and Associates. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Security Bank Building qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4 for its <br />embodiment of the post -World War II evolution of Santa Ana as the financial headquarters of Orange County and its <br />historical association with a historical southern California financial institution, Security Bank. It also qualifies for listing on <br />the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing <br />characteristics of the New Formalism style of architecture and under Criterion 2 as the work in Santa Ana of a notable <br />architect, Welton Becket and Associates, whose work influenced architectural development. Additionally, the property has <br />been categorized as "Landmark" because "it has an historical/cultural significance to the city" for its role in the historical <br />development of Santa Ana as a financial center and its association with Security Bank, and because "it has a unique <br />architectural significance" as an example of the New Formalism style of architecture designed by master architect Welton <br />Becket and Associates. <br />EXHIBIT B <br />
