State of California —The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 3 of 5 Resource Name: «Name_ of Structure))*Recorded by Andrea Dumovich Heywood *Date June 4, 2025 0 Continuation ❑ Update *P3a. Description (continued): Both primary (west and south) facades contain one tripartite window adjacent to the front porch (Figure 4). The window is composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights that flank a large fixed wood window. The tripartite's fixed central window on the primary (west) fagade contains Prairie style divided upper lights while the primary (south) fixed window had no muntins. A shed roof clad in clay tiles projects above the tripartite window on the primary (west) fagade (Figure 5). Window fenestration along the primary (south), east, and north fagades include double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights (Figure 6). Additional windows include a single wood hopper window on the primary (south) fagade, a fixed wood window and five double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided lights at the north (side) fagade, and two double -hung wood windows without Prairie style divided lights at the east (side) fagade. Both residential units contains a detached single -car garage, situated at the property's north boundary. Particular to only the primary (west) fagade is a wingwall porte-cochere that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for pedestrians (Figure 7). The primary (south) fagade's garage parapet is joined to the main residential building, creating an illusion that it is attached to the residence. The property is landscaped with a variety of small and medium-sized vegetation and trees such as palm trees, cactus, and agave. *B10. Significance (continued): According to city directories, 1001 N Olive Street was occupied by LM Brozenick in 1960. Two newspaper articles describe Lou Brozenick's extensive wood working hobby. In the late 1950s through 1970s, Brozenick worked on creating a wall -sized world map made out of wood, using wood specific to each country. The project took 17 years to complete due to difficulties with obtaining directly sourced wood from each country. A 1966 article notes that Brozenick worked on this project at his apartment at 10071 Lampson, Garden Grove, after living in Santa Ana. Therefore his artistic affiliations are not related to the subject property at 1001 North Olive Street (The Register, September 11, 1966 and December 4, 1975). The years 1963-1987 do not include the subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not available for research. A newspaper article mentions Mrs. Emily Jane Hayhurst as a resident of 915 W 101" Street in 1965, who passed away that year (The Register, June 16, 1965). Historic building permits identify Joel Tardiff as building owner from at least 1975-1978. Permit history and directories reveal John Harwood owned the property from circa 1981-2003. By 2020, Steven Wayne Lively sold the property to current owners Palm Springs Deepwell Modern, LLC, represented by Kevin Shuler and Brian Stoddart. No pertinent information was uncovered regarding the former owners and tenants during the time of ownership/occupancy of 1001 North Olive Street. The Freund House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War Il. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Freund House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Mission Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $6,000 to build in 1924. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Mission Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)). Character -defining features of the Mission Revival style exhibited by the house include its rectangular -shaped plan; two primary (west and south) facades; asymmetrical design; parapet roof that wraps around the entire building; no extended eaves; smooth stucco cladding; main entrance to each unit located within a front porch and is composed of a single glazed wood door with a Prairie style muntin pattern; large fixed wood window with Prairie style upper divided lights; raised front porches with wide arches; tripartite window adjacent to the front porch composed of a wood frame encasing two double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and Prairie style divided upper lights flanking a large fixed wood window; shed roof clad in clay tiles at the primary (west) fagade; double -hung wood windows with ogee lugs and (some windows with or without); Prairie style divided upper lights; single hopper window on primary (south) fagade; two detached single -car garages; primary (west) fagade porte-cochere that extends across the north driveway, containing an arched entrance for vehicular access and a smaller arched entrance, or wingwall, for pedestrians; small and medium vegetation and landscape.
