State of California -The Resources Agency DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION CONTINUATION SHEET Resource Name or #: 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue Page 18 of 27 Primary# HRI# Trinomial# CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES (CRHR) ELIGIBILTY REVIEW CRHR Criterion 1: Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage. This is equivalent to Local Register Criterion 4 and 6. Research does not indicate that the subject property qualifies for designation under Criterion 1. The subject property is located on Block 9, Lot 116 of the Irvine Subdivision. The property was initially improved in 1973 with the construction of three commercial -use buildings. The buildings were constructed at a time when the City of Santa Ana experienced increased development of suburban business parks and commercial office parks during the 1970s and 1980s. Most of these office complexes were speculative, and for profit endeavors intended to house numerous tenants. To encourage the industrial and commercial expansion around the peripherals of the city, surrounding lands, including portions of the 1887 Irvine Subdivision, were annexed into the city. The subject property is one of many commercial / industrial -use properties constructed in the area during this period. The property does not appear to be individually significant, nor did it make a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage. For this reason, Urbana determined the property is not individually eligible under Criterion 1. CRHR Criterion 2: Association with the lives of persons important in California's past. This is equivalent to Local Register Criterion 4. Research does not indicate that the subject property qualifies for designation under Criterion 2. The 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue is not associated with the lives of persons important to local or California history. Therefore, the subject property does not qualify under Criterion 2. CRHR Criterion 3: Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represent the work of an important creative individual or possess high artistic values. This is equivalent to Local Register Criterion 1, 2, and 3. Under Criterion 3, the building is not the work of a master and does not possess high artistic values and does not rise to a level beyond the ordinary. For this reason, Urbana determined the property is not individually eligible under Criterion 3. CRHR Criterion 4: Potential to yield information important in prehistory or history. This is equivalent to Local Register Criterion 5. The subject property is not eligible under Criterion 4 as it is unlikely to yield information important in prehistory or history. Integrity Integrity is the ability to physically convey significance. Evaluation of integrity must always be grounded in an understanding of a resource's physical features and how they relate to its significance. To retain historic integrity, a resource will possess several, and usually most of the following seven aspects of integrity: location, materials, design, setting, workmanship, feeling, and association. If it is determined that a resource is eligible for designation because it meets one or more of the adopted designation criteria, the integrity of the resource must be evaluated. Integrity is the ability to convey its significance. Only after the historic significance of the resource is fully established can the issue of integrity be addressed. The 1700-1740 E. Garry Avenue property has not been found by Urbana to be individually eligible for designation under any of the criteria. Further integrity analysis is not merited.
