Address 1907 North Flower Street City Santa Ana Zip 92706 *e. Other Locational Data: Assessor's Parcel Number 002-093-11 *P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) L-shaped in plan, this two-story, stucco-clad residence displays the hallmark features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The building is capped with Mission tile roof of low pitch, with shallow eaves and carved brackets. Asymmetrical composition and massing characterize the faqade, with a one-story side-gabled bay intersecting a two-story bay with a hipped roof. Centered on the one-story bay is an attached, stucco-clad chimney, which flares at the base and is decorated with unglazed wall tiles. A molded cornice marks the top of the chimney, which is flanked by a set of recessed one-over-three casement windows framed in wood, with slightly projecting sills. A horseshoe arch provides decorative detail to the covered porch and entry, which are elevated on three tile-clad steps and located on the south portion of the two-story bay. Projecting from the faqade's north half, the two-story bay features wood-framed casement windows on the first story and French doors, enclosed in a decorative wrought-iron balconet, on the second story. The second story displays a wall projection trimmed with painted scallops, meant to simulate exposed beams. Fenestration on the side elevations echoes that of the faqade and includes double-hung sashes and the use of wrought-iron balconets. The northeast corner of the second story displays a balcony sheltered beneath the extended eaves of the red-tile roof. Simple post-and-Iintel construction supports the balcony, which is framed by a carved wood balustrade. Exposed rafter tails highlight the horizontal line below the balcony. Wrapping around the south and east sides of the faqade is a low, stucco-clad wall, enclosing a patio. Alterations include the addition of a wall fronting the property, decorative archway at the driveway entrance, and an aluminum patio cover and enclosure on the second story deck (the latter is not visible from the street). The residence is otherwise highly intact, in excellent repair, and enhanced by mature trees and landscaping. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property *P4.
