HRCA-2022-7, HRC-2022-5, HPPA-2022-9 – The Hallicy House <br />May 5, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />2 <br />6 <br />2 <br />2 <br />having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria <br />set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails <br />applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is <br />eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The <br />first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. <br />The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa <br />Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of <br />the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 84 years old and is a good example <br />of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. <br />The Hallicy House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the <br />Minimal Traditional style. This house was originally constructed in 1938 by Santa Ana <br />builder J.R. Sandstrom for $6,000, according to the original building permit. Mr. <br />Sandstrom was not only a prolific builder throughout Santa Ana, but he was also the <br />Bishop of the local Church of Latter Day Saints. The home was shown at various open <br />houses before being sold to long-time Santa Ana resident Paul J. Hallicy (1896-1958) <br />and wife Florence Hallicy (1896-1992). Mr. Hallicy was President, Treasurer and <br />Director of Holly Development Co. a subsidiary of Holly Sugar Company since 1922. Mr. <br />Hallicy died suddenly in 1958 while on vacation in Wyoming. Mrs. Hallicy was active in <br />Ebell Club and in the Pegasus Poetry Club. <br />The Hallicy House is a one-story single-family residential building constructed in the <br />Minimal Traditional architectural style. The house features a low-pitched, multi-hipped <br />roof design. The roof is clad in composition shingles and features eaves with little <br />overhang with minimally exposed rafter tails. The main entrance is raised and setback <br />slightly into the building. It is accessible by two steps situated under a flat, rounded <br />porch roof that is supported by decorative metal beams. Primary (west) façade windows <br />consist of two double-hung, wood-frame multi-lite windows with wood shutters to the <br />north of the entrance, and double-hung and fixed wood-frame multi-lite windows that <br />wrap around the southwest corner of the building, just south of the main entrance. The <br />south façade contains an additional double-hung wood-frame multi-lite window that <br />wraps around a corner. Several double-hung wood-frame windows are located <br />throughout the south and rear (east) facades. A paved driveway leads from Flower <br />Street towards the east, terminating at a detached garage that is clad in smooth stucco <br />and has a hipped roof and minimal overhanging eaves. Landscaping includes a front <br />lawn with several tall Palm Trees and low shrubs. Character-defining features of the <br />house include its massing and composition, consisting of a hip-roofed body and <br />projecting wing; stucco exterior; and multi-light windows that meet at the corners, <br />reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. Other Art Moderne-inspired features include the <br />entry, with its curved canopy, and porthole window. <br />Historic Resources Commission 4 –2 5/5/2022
