<br /> Secondary fagades on the north, south, and west, are consistent with the general characteristics of the front-facing east
<br /> fagade, including multi pane hung and casement windows of wood sashes; glazed wood doors; and rectangular louvered
<br /> vents In the gables (Figure 3). A non-historic wood plank privacy wall along the north, south, and west property lines
<br /> encloses the side and back yards. On the south elevation, near the front of the residence, is the exterior brick chimney. The
<br /> west elevation features a small porch with a concrete foundation and trellis cover, non-historic glazed wood door, and non
<br /> historic wood fixed pane window flanked by casement windows and a transom. A third entrance is located on the west
<br /> elevation of the rear 1947 addition featuring a glazed wood door accessed by non-historic curved concrete steps(Figure 4).
<br /> Windows on the historic sections of the secondary elevations are uniformly wood-sash units, with configurations that include
<br /> 1/1 double-hung sashes and single-pane casements.-Windows throughout the rear addition feature 1/1 wood sashes and are
<br /> configured to complement the historic character of the house.
<br /> Situated at the center of the parcel on the southern property line, the detached garage was constructed in 1927 and is
<br /> rectangular in plan,sheathed in stucco,and capped with a steeply pitched front-gabled roof clad in composition shingles. The
<br /> roll-up garage door faces a short driveway to the east, accessing North Valencia Street (Figure 5). The west elevation
<br /> features an entrance with a glazed wood door, and the north elevation features a non-historic fixed•pane wood window

<br /> *Bit),Significance(continued):
<br /> By April 1939, the family of Thomas B. Clark resided in the subject residence. 77he Clarks occupied the residence until circa.
<br /> 1960. Mr. Clark worked as a bookkeeper, manager, and accountant for Inland Transportation Company and served during
<br /> World War If(Ancestry.com 2011 c). The Clark family constructed the rear, west elevation addition in 1947 which is pictured in
<br /> a 1947 aerial of Santa Ana(City of Santa Ana Building Permits; County of Orange Historical Aerial Imagery 2025). The Clark
<br /> family was followed by Fredrick Butler Le Vltt in 1960 to 1963(The Register 1963;Ancestry.com 2011 c).
<br /> The Enlow House Is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood. The neighborhood Is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park
<br /> on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the oast, North Main Street on the west, and
<br /> the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards
<br /> the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad
<br /> ran up Main Street;the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad fight-of-
<br /> way mirrored the freeway route.
<br /> This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
<br /> on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street"(now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue;
<br /> the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
<br /> had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
<br /> continued to list "rancher"or"fruit grower"as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
<br /> the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of'Santo Clara and on
<br /> Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
<br /> approximately forty landowners.
<br /> While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
<br /> Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
<br /> the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
<br /> professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
<br /> the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney(Z B. West, Jr.,
<br /> 3.21 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County
<br /> Surveyor(E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor(William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April
<br /> 1942, when the Sanbom Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-
<br /> family homes,many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of
<br /> the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World
<br /> War 11,
