Description of Physical Appearance <br /> <br />The Heninger House, located on a prominent corner in the Heninger <br />Park Historic District, is one of the finest Colonial Revival/ <br />Transitional homes in Santa Ana. Constructed in 1911, it is two <br />stories high and rectangular in volume, off-set with a prominent <br />single-story rounded porch. The narrow lapped siding adds <br />horizontal detailing and is part of the Colonial Revival <br />character. This house was individually and personally designed <br />by Mr. and Mrs. Heninger and is a unique blend of architectural <br />styles. The graceful bellcast roof, closed eaves, prominent <br />cornice, molding-trimmed frieze, carved brackets, hipped dormers, <br />pedimented gables, round columns with Doric capitals, beltcourse, <br />leaded glass transom, and porch railing are all Colonial Revival <br />in style. As is true of an upscale Colonial Revival home, the <br />foundation is elevated and clad in matching narrow lapped siding. <br />The prominent rounded veranda and three-corner bay go back to the <br />Queen Anne style. The windows, many of which have mullioned <br />borders, and the doors are Craftsman elements. The house <br />maintains most of its original integrity and fits the require- <br />ments of the seven criteria for integrity: setting, location, <br />design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. Its <br />fine architectural character, its representation of a particular <br />time and place, and its designer/builder make it a good candidate <br />for the Santa Aha Historic Register. <br /> <br />3 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
