The <br />first benchmark for selection requires that structures be 50 or more <br />years old. As detailed in the following property descriptions, all the <br />structures proposed for placement on the Register meet the minimum age <br />criteria. <br /> <br />Based on the results of research, it is recommended that the structures <br />listed below be placed in the Key category. The code criteria for Key <br />designation is as follows: <br /> <br />4IÞ <br /> <br />a. <br /> <br />The building, landmark or district <br />architectural style and quality; or <br /> <br />a <br /> <br />distinctive <br /> <br />has <br /> <br />b. <br /> <br />The building, landmark or district is characteristic of a <br />significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana; or <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />The building, landmark or district is associated <br />significant person or event in the City of Santa Ana. <br /> <br />a <br /> <br />with <br /> <br />The properties included in this request for the Key designation are as <br />follows: <br /> <br />4IÞ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />501 East 20th Street, Opp House. The Opp House, built in 1923, <br />qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical <br />Properties for its representation of the distinguishing <br />characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Furthermore, it <br />qualifies as a building connected with a business or use, <br />agriculture, which was once common (farmhouse and barn) and is <br />now rare. Additionally, the structure is eligible to be <br />categorized as Key because it has a distinctive architectural <br />style and quality as an early 1920s example of the Colonial <br />Revival style. The Opp House is also characteristic of a <br />significant period in the City's history as a farmhouse surviving <br />the agricultural era in Santa Ana. The two- story clapboard <br />farmhouse illustrates the Colonial Revival style through its <br />symmetrical design, side-gabled massing, six over one double-hung <br />sash windows and central portico with Federal style precedents <br />and a paneled entry door with full height sidelights. <br /> <br />75A-17 <br />
