The district represents a <br />cohesive collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth century residential buildings centered on the local <br />French Park triangle. The residences illustrate well-preserved local examples of Victorian Queen Anne and <br />Eastlake architectural styles. Neoclassical Revival building forms, and a host of twentieth century Colonial <br />Revival, Period Revival, and Craftsman construction types. The district’s overall layout and general pattern <br />of development effectively illustrate the processes that typified the platting, speculative development and <br />subsequent growth of areas within the community of Santa Ana during the historic period. The failure of the <br />original platters to realize their original commercial development plans and the subsequent development of <br />the area as a premiere residential neighborhood for influential local citizens illustrates important (and often <br />enigmatic) aspects of nineteenth and early twentieth century community development and planning. <br />RECOM. . <br />REVIEWER V vJ.Sl6rJA.oJ <br />TELEPHONE <br />DISCIPLINE |-lvsT..K.,A.j <br />DATE S' <br />DOCUMENTATION see attached comments Y/N see attached SLR^^}SN <br />  <br />    <br />
