This two-story single family dwelling was built during the height of the development of French Park, a residential district <br />advertised as the "Nob Hill" of Orange County. French Park was home to many prominent businessman, doctors, bankers, attorneys <br />and civil servants from 1880 to the early 1940's. This house is in excellent condition, in an unaltered state, and on its original site. <br />One of the best examples of Craftsman bungalow architecture in the City, it embodies fine features of the Craftsman movement. <br />Horizontal lines are accentuated by low pitched roofs, detailing around the fenestration, wood shingle cladding on the second floor, <br />grouped casement windows, and picture windows on the first floor. <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />This is an exceptional example of a Craftsman Bungalow and has a unique architectural significance. Oriental influences present in <br />the detailing of the building include low-pitched gable roofs, a large porch, and a pergola with carved beam-ends. This building has a <br />historic significance to the City of Santa Ana because of its association with the Alexander family, an influential family during the <br />formative years of the City.. <br /> <br />OWNER AND ADDRESS: <br /> <br />Janice and Jon Gothold <br /> <br />1116 North French Street <br /> <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> <br />LL\HRC'category alexander <br />06-19-00 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />25F-7 <br />
