apartment complex is of interest as an example of an adaptation of an apartment court building
<br /> type, it does not display sufficient character-defining features or integrity to be eligible for
<br /> designation, The complex consists of three long, rectangular, nearly identical one-start' buildings,
<br /> each containing four residential units, arranged parallel to each other; and a fourth, single-unit
<br /> building. An archway spans the driveway between the single-unit building and the southernmost of
<br /> the multiunit buildings. ether archways pierce wing walls connecting the four-unit buildings to a
<br /> stuccoed wall and define the two bays of the front porch of the single-unit building, Hoods carried
<br /> on curved stucco brackets shade the entries to the individual units. The buildings appear to have
<br /> been resurfaced and original roof detailing and materials have been removed. Constructed in 1930,
<br /> the buildings as they appear now ~2011~ have no discernable architectural style. The single-unit
<br /> building was originally a second-start' apartment over a garage; the garage was demolished in 1954
<br /> and the apartment was lowered to ground level. Integrity of design, materials, setting,
<br /> workmanship, and feeling appear to be compromised.
<br /> Historical research has not located any information regarding the historical associations of the
<br /> complex as significant to the history and development of the City of Santa Ana. The property was
<br /> originally occupied by a lodging house. No associations with important events; famous people;
<br /> original settlers; renowned organizations or businesses; or important centers for political, social,
<br /> economic, or cultural activity in the City of Santa Ana were identified at this property since
<br /> construction of the apartment complex at the end of the primary period of residential development
<br /> in the Lacy neighborhood from 1895 to 1930. The property is an early example of a multifamily
<br /> dwelling, a property type that would supersede single-family construction in Lacy during
<br /> subsequent decades, No persons are known to have made significant contributions to the history of
<br /> the City of Santa Ana while living at this address. As an undistinguished example of a multifamily
<br /> design, the complex is not associated with the work of a notable architect, builder, or designer
<br /> whose style influenced architectural development in the City of Santa Ana or at large.

<br /> estimated. construction date of circa 1900. The property displays some of fihe basic character-
<br /> defining features of the property type, including one-story height, squared plan, hipped roof, and
<br /> boxed eaves, as well as less common details in the jigsawn porch frieze and square-butt shingling
<br /> of the front goblet, but has been compromised by alterations and deterioration. The porch railing
<br /> and porch stairs are nonoriginal, and no original finishes or plan elements are intact in the interior,
<br /> As a result Of the compromised integrity of design, materials, and workmanship, the property does
<br /> not qualify for designation in the SARHP under Criterion 1 ar the NRHPICRHR under Criterion
<br /> C13.
