Other <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by thence, <br />period, geographic scope, and integrity.) <br />This example of residential architecture during the City of Santa Ana's early formation years is located in French Park Historic <br />District. This two story single family residence was built during the early development years of French Park, a residential district <br />nicknamed as the "Nob Hill" of Orange County. French Park, one of the first residential developments in the City, was home to many <br />prominent businessmen, doctors, bankers, attorneys and civil servants from 1880 to the early 1940's. This house is in excellent <br />condition, and on its original site. The Rutan House is listed as a contributing structure to the historic architectural integrity of French <br />Park Historic District. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />This building is characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana. Although it was altered in 1920, it <br />maintains the characteristics of the Victorian Stick style. Because the alterations to the porches occurred more than fifty years ago, <br />they are considered part of the historic fabric. Most of the identifiable characteristic of the style, such as the decorative trusses at the <br />apex of the gables, the vertical ventwork, the steeply gabled roof, the elongated windows and the narrow clapboard siding are still <br />present in this house. <br />OWNER AND ADDRESS: Jensen Barry Jay & Donna Emery <br />932 N.
