CONSTRUCTION HISTORY: (Construction data, alterations, and date of alterations) <br />February 1, 1927: Three four-family flats, one residence, and garage. <br />March 22, 1945: Alteration to penthouse. <br />RELATED FEATURES: (Other important features such as barns, sheds, fences, prominent or unusual trees, or landscape) <br />Central garage building with sun terrace on top; rear garage building. <br />DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and <br />boundaries.) <br />Located on the northeast corner of North Broadway and West Buffalo Street, this complex consists of four two-story, multiple-family <br />buildings and two garage structures. The buildings are arranged around a central, common area. Each wood frame building is <br />sheathed in distinctively patterned white stucco and topped by a gabled roof covered in red clay tile. Brackets punctuate the modestly <br />overhanging eaves. Portions of the upper stories project slightly above rows of wooden corbels. Windows are predominantly multi- <br />paned steel casements in type, asymmetrically arranged. The majority of openings are flat-headed, and are juxtaposed with occasional <br />arched windows of varying sizes. Entries are highlighted by quoined terra cotta surrounds in a variety of shapes. Attached chimneys <br />terminate above the roofline with arched caps. Although the interior common area is not landscaped, the street elevations of the <br />complex are enhanced by appropriate plantings, including cacti and palms. The complex appears to be unaltered. <br />HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: <br />The Patricia Apartments were built in 1927 by R. Heninger for a cost of $50,000. The Heninger family had first come to Santa Ana in <br />1903 and was responsible for the development of most of Heninger Park by the end of the 1920s. This property and the Las Casitas <br />Apartments a block away (2035 North Broadway) are two examples of the firm's work on North Broadway. <br />RESOURCE ATTRIBUTES: (List attributes and codes from Appendix 4 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office <br />of Historic Preservation.) <br />HP3.
