HR-2013-01-RM~, March 7, 2013 Page 3 Placement in the SARHP requires documentation that demonstrates the resource has historic or cultural significance based on the location, design, event, setting, materials andlor association. A resource may have historiclcultural significance because of its connection with a pattern or trend in history. The integrity of a resource is also evaluated to determine if the structure retains enough physical characteristics to convey the historic architectural appearance that existed during the building's period(s) of significance. Based on the evaluation, a resource may be eligible under one of the following six criteria [SAMC 30-2 (1) through (6)]: 1) Distinguished architectural style or period; 2) Notable works that have influenced architectural development; 3) Rare structures or design; 4) Places or buildings with historical significance; 5} Sites of archaeological importance; and 6) Connection with a business or use once common but now rare. The Maharajah House was placed on the SARHP for its architectural style, Criterion One; and its connection with the Maharajah of Indore, Criterion Four. • Santa Ana Register Criterion One [SAMC 30-2 (1 }] The integrity of the Art Moderne design has been affected by the 1993 and 1997 addition and remodels, but the home retains its cultural and architectural integrity as an example of the Arl Moderne style of architecture. The alterations do not substantially affect the primary elevations, and the building retains its architectural significance. • Santa Ana Register Criterion Four [SAMC 30-2 (6)] The property is also culturally significant because of its association with the Maharajah of Indore who commissioned the construction of the house, and lived in the home with his wife and daughter for a little over a year. When the Maharajah and his Maharani returned to India, they left their daughter to be raised in the house so she could continue to attend public schools. The Maharajah governed Indore since the abdication of his father in his favor in 1926. The Maharajah and his American Maharani returned to India fallowing an only one-year residence in the house, leaving Princess Usha in the care of a governess in Santa Ana, where she continued to attend public schools. The pair divorced in 1943. The Maharajah married again, to another American, who bore him four children including a male heir, but Princess Usha, as the only offspring barn of an Indian woman, succeeded her father as ruler in 1961 following the death of her father. Marguerite, who also remarried, remained in the house until 1952. As of 1994, Princess Usha occupied one of the Holkar's hereditary palaces in India, although, other information indicates that she was stripped of her rank and titles by the Indian state in 1970.
