On January 11, 2024, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly <br />noticed public hearing for the placement on the Santa Ana Register of <br />Historical Properties (Historic Resources Commission Application No. <br />2023-20) and categorization (Historic Resources Commission <br />Categorization No. 2023-6) of the Woitke House located at 925 North Lowell <br />Street, Santa Ana. <br />B. The Woitke House has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish <br />Revival style and was built in 1928. <br />C. The Woitke House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style <br />home in Santa Ana. The house displays characteristics of the Spanish <br />Revival style through its use of a clay tile roof; asymmetrical primary façade; <br />use of arches throughout; multiple covered patios; stucco siding; and <br />decorative tiles; among other original features. The recommended <br />categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall <br />character and history of Washington Square and is a representative <br />example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code, Section 30-2.2(3)). Character-defining features of the Woitke House <br />include, but may not be limited to: Rectangular-shaped building footprint <br />and massing; asymmetrical primary façade; hipped roof clad in clay tiles <br />that has a flat roof at its center; minimal eave overhang; original smooth <br />stucco siding (to be restored with or without trowel pattern) ; a partially <br />enclosed covered patio at the primary façade with multiple arched openings; <br />a covered patio at the side (north) facade with an arched opening; two <br />tripartite wood windows at the primary (west) façade that each contain two <br />casement windows with a centered fixed window and upper multi-light <br />Historic Resources Commission 1-6 1/11/2024
