Also address integrity) The Honer House is architecturally significant as an outstanding and intact example of the Contemporary Ranch style, heavily influenced by the midcentury modern architecture popular at the time of its construction. This house was built in 1957 and valued at $17,000 according to the original building permit. The first owner, and architect credited on the building permit for the design, was Donald A. Honer, son of the prominent Santa Ana developer and contractor of the house, Allison Honer (Santa Ana Register, 12 August 1936, page 26). Donald Honer resided in the home until at least 1979; ownership may have been held by the Allison Honer Company, as specified on a 1967 building permit. Research did not uncover additional information about Mr. D. A. Honer, although it may be speculated that the son might have provided architectural services for the father's business . Although a room was added to the building in 1967, the addition was added to the rear and was designed to be differentiated yet compatible with overhanging eaves and wood board and batten siding. The Honer House is also found architecturally notable for its early utilization of Direct Gain passive solar design. Its use of floor to ceiling casement windows and double French doors are grouped to allow air and light to flow through the home and enable passive solar cooling. This property may have been one of the first homes in Santa Ana to utilize Direct Gain; however, more research is required to confirm. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.
