Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the <br />Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities <br />in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through the <br />first three decades of the 20th century, Broadway emerged as a prominent residential corridor and was eventually lined by comfortably <br />scaled homes shaded by rows of street trees. <br /> <br />The house is locally significant as a very well articulated example of residential Craftsman architecture, retaining sufficient integrity to <br />convey its original style and period of construction. It is also historically noteworthy for its association with the Weissman and the <br />Flagg families. Character-defming exterior features of the house which should be preserved include, but are not limited to: roof <br />configuration and detailing (verge boards, brackets, stickwork, rafter tails, latticework); stone and wood exterior cladding; porch <br />configuration and posts; and original fenestration where extant. <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />This property is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. The Weissman-Flagg House has been categorized as <br />"Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Craftsman style, which was highly influential <br />during the first quarter of the twentieth century and, as the home of the Weissmans and then the Flaggs, "is associated with a <br />significant person or event in the City of Santa Ana" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> <br />OWNER AND ADDRESS: Mr. James Scott/Mrs. Alberta Scott <br /> <br />P.O.
