<br />Subdivided in 1887 as the Hawkins Addition, the small, working class neighborhood now known as Logan developed
<br />adjacent to the railroad tracks in the east end of Santa Ana. Bordered by Lincoln Avenue, Santa Arta Boulevard, Santiago
<br />Avenue, and what is now the Santa Ana Freeway, the neighborhood is characterized by unusually small lots upon which Iwo
<br />and three room collages were buil!. Prior to 1910, residents of the area were almost entirely American and European -born
<br />laborors and craftspeople. City directories listed, area occupations such as mechanic, dressmaker, peed turner, prossman,
<br />and plasterer. By 1910, forty percent of Logan households had Spanish surnames, and residents were employed primarily
<br />in agriculture. This small Latino community, now Identified as a barrio, was centered next to the tracks on Lincoln Strout and
<br />nearby Logan Street and the eastern end of Stafford,. Angles resided mostly in the northwestern corner of the area.
<br />Neighborhood houses tended to be simple wooden structures of modes! design. Vernacular interpretations included a mix
<br />of Queen Arno, SticklEastlake, Colonial Revival, artd Craftsman cottages. In 1929 Logan tvas zoned industrial to
<br />encourage industry to locate away from downtown and nearer the railroad tracks, resulting in a` mix of residential arid
<br />industrial uses. Fmm 1950 until 1979, zoning restrictions actually prevented the construction,of new homes, including home
<br />additions. Following repeal of these restrictions in 1979, each parcel became individually zoned to allow more flexibility for
<br />homeowners to use and improve their property.
<br />Logan is significant as aneighborhood of Santa Ana that has historically'been associated with the Latino community. It
<br />survives as an onclava of lato nineteenth and early twentieth century unpmtonlious housing of modest scale. ThnPorry
<br />House is representative of the significant period of development of the Logan neighborhood, in terms of its age, scale, and
<br />vernacular Queen Anna (Late Victorian) styling. It exhibits the decorated gable ands and elongated double -hung sash 'that
<br />are among the characteristics of its building type. The Perry House is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
<br />Property and has been categ(Azed as "Contributive." There are no obvious alterations to tho'house, which is remarkably
<br />intact. Chararter-dofrning exterior features of the Perry House which should be preserved include, but may not be limited to.
<br />materials and finishes (siding,_ shingling); roofcornrrguration and detailing; original windows and doors; porch; and
