Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana <br />Period of Significance: 1960 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 <br />(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) <br /> <br />The Turk House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style house in Santa Ana, <br />owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed <br />by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell (junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is <br />attributed to the construction of this property. According to City building records, it was built in 1960 for approximately <br />$21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories <br />list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 <br />there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories. From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as <br />property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By <br />1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the <br />building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants. <br /> <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.) <br /> <br />B11.
