(Construction data, alterations, and date of alterations) <br />September 26, 1983. Rebuild and seismic rehab <br />March 6, 1984. Tenant improvements <br />RELATED FEATURES: (Other important features such as barns, sheds, fences, prominent or unusual trees, or landscape) <br />None <br />DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and <br />boundaries.) <br />The appearance of this two and three-story brick building dates to its post 1933 earthquake reconstruction and substantial <br />rehabilitation in 1984. An example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, the building is asymmetrical in its composition, with <br />exposed red brick exterior walls. The focal point of the design is the entry, a two-story high archway located at the southwest corner <br />of the building. The actual doorway is deeply recessed within the barrel-vaulted space. Set high up on the fagade next to the opening, <br />a single bulls eye window is the only other feature of this wing, which is crowned by a red tile shed roof. To the north, the flat roofed <br />three-story wing features a row of arched windows beneath a projecting cornice over the first floor. Other notable details of this wing <br />include a row of projecting bricks, which suggest a frieze below the roofline, and shallowly recessed panel containing the current <br />name of the building, "Santa Ana Veterans Hall" on a blue tiled background. In good condition, the building has been modified from <br />its 1934 appearance by the enclosure of some windows and the removal of its stucco facing. <br />Note: This property has a fagade easement with Heritage Orange County. <br />The Armory Hall/American Legion Hall was built in stages, with the first construction taking place around 1910, a rear addition made <br />in 1922, an entirely new fagade created following the Long Beach Earthquake in 1934, and substantial rehabilitation occurring in <br />1983-84 (Thomas). It was constructed as the third home of Santa Ana's Company L Armory (the first was up the street at 400 West <br />Fourth Street, the second at 214'/2 East Fourth Street), and was utilized for that purpose from 1910 until the mid- 1950s. Founded as <br />the Santa Ana National Guard Company F in 1890, the unit changed its name to Company L when it was called to active duty during <br />the Spanish American War in 1898. The organization played an important dual role in the community, as a vehicle for military <br />service and as a community institution that sponsored social and civic events. Members of Company L provided assistance in the <br />aftermaths of both the I906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire and the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, and went on to serve in World <br />Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. In World War II, the building was utilized as the West Coast Army Training <br />Center and was used as a broadcasting station. The name of the unit was changed to Company A, 161" Armored Infantry Battalion in <br />1954 (Marsh). <br />RESOURCE ATTRIBUTES: (List attributes and codes from Appendix 4 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office <br />of Historic Preservation.) <br />(HP13) Community Center/Social Hall <br />(HP34) Military Property <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />cmVustorie\templates\nimh 313 N (American Legion Hall) <br />8123/01 <br />
