SAID PROPERTY WITHIN THE KEY CATEGORY
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE

Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana
hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. On May 24, 2018 the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing for the placement on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties (Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2017-50) and
categorization (Historic Resources Commission Categorization No. 2017-
49) of the Frank House located at 1110 West Sixteenth Street, Santa Ana.
B. The Frank House has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch style,
and was built in 1954 by George M. Holstein & Sons.
C. This home qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties and is eligible for categorization as “Key”. The Frank House
qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under
Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the
Ranch style, and under Criterion 2 for being the work of a notable
designer and architect. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
“Key” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the
Washington Square neighborhood and “is a unique example of period
architecture,” representing the Ranch style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Frank
House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to:
materials and finishes (vertical wood siding); roof configuration, materials,
and treatment (wood shake shingles and brick chimney); massing and
composition; fenestration (multi-light single hung windows); and
architectural detailing (dormers, wood shutters).
D. Santo Puzzo Jr. and Carol H. Frank are the legal owners of this property.

Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owners hereby agree to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owners have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or have allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owners have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owners shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half

any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, the City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by the
Owners, the City shall give written notice to the Owners by registered or certified mail, and if
such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee
within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be
required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days
(provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and
shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by the Owners), then the City may, without
further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action
necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of the Owners growing out of the terms of this
Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by the
Owners or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owners if the City does not
enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in the City’s regulations governing historic properties are

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch style dominated post-World War II residential expansion and
represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the
1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west’s vernacular housing traditions by
combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern for informality, expressed in materials and
plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to
most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by
wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch
House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and
wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and
the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and
diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven
rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Frank House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the
distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style, and under Criterion 2 for being the work of a notable designer and architect.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington
Square neighborhood and “is a unique example of period architecture,” representing the Ranch style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The Frank House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Ranch style. This house was originally
constructed in 1954, and was valued at approximately $9,000, according to the original building permit. The building permit
indicates that George M. Holstein III was the builder of the residence. Holstein was a prominent builder in Southern
California. He is also known for building several homes in Beverly Hills for motion picture stars. As an ardent sportsman, Mr.
Holstein was a key figure in the creation of the Balboa Bay Club, the Rancho San Joqauin Golf Course, and the Newport
Beach Tennis Club. The first owner of the home was John Constantine Frank who resided there with his wife, Madge I.
Frank, until his death. Mr. Frank was a chemical engineer by trade, and was also a partner for the business Thinline, a
furniture manufacturer. His wife, Madge I. Frank, was listed as the owner in 2000 according to subsequent research. Mrs.
Frank was an artist with two pieces of art residing in the Bowers Musuem of Art permanent collection. The current owner
Carol H. Frank, is the daugther of the prior owners Mr. and Mrs. Frank, has resided in the house since 1978. She was also
the first female non-clerical employee at Interstate Electronics.
Cliff May was a prominent designer and architect, and Southern California native who was best known for pioneering the
California Ranch House. After World War II, he was widely featured in Sunset Magazine for his California Ranch House and
developed several tract homes in West Los Angeles. Mr. May was also responsible for the development of several tracts in
Orange County: most notably in Anaheim, Tustin, and Garden Grove. In 1955, more than eight out of ten tract homes in the
United States were designed with Cliff May as the the leading designer. George M. Holstein III was the primary builder of Cliff
May homes in Orange County. The Frank House is the one of the remaining ten homes within Tract 1448 constructed in
1952 - all by designer Cliff May and architect Chris Choate.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and
selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
1110 West Sixteenth Street is located on the northeastern edge of Washington Square, a neighborhood northwest of
downtown Santa Ana bounded by North Bristol Street, North Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, and West Washington
Avenue. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de
Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross-McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape.
By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only
as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915,
when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development
that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25
years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the
standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War
II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes
according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes (“Washington Square: A
Neighborhood of Pride,” Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war
and the accompanying demand for homes in Southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but
completed.
The Frank House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style, and under Criterion 2 for being the work of a notable
designer and architect. Character defining features of the Frank House include, but are not limited to: materials and finishes
(vertical wood siding); roof configuration, materials, and treatment (overhanging eaves, exposed rafters); massing and
composition; and fenestration (triangular windows, single-light and fixed windows).Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Key” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington Square neighborhood
and “is a unique example of period architecture,” representing the Ranch style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2).

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1.Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2.The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3.All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4.Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5.Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6.Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7.The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8.Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9.Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant

historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with
size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or

10.Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.

6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the

the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 1, 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Moderne
The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamline Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the Art
Moderne style, the Streamline Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World War
II in a simplified version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Moderne designs, the Streamline Moderne and Art
Moderne substyles emphasized the horizontal, through bands of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal
lines, railings, flat canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the roofline. Other characteristics include smooth
wall surfaces, usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block or metal multi-light casement windows; rounded corners,
porthole windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a
signature of the style. In common with the Streamline Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in
emphasis, but tended to be more clean-lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined
counterparts. Art Moderne designs can be recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal
casement windows that often meet at the corners of the building.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Amling House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Art Moderne variant of the Moderne style; and Criterion 4, for its
assocation with Allison C. Honer. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” for its “distinctive architectural
style and quality,” embodying the massing, materials, and detailing of Art Moderne design; and “association with a
significant person”, Allison C. Honer (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located on a corner property in Floral Park, the Amling House is a two-story single-family residence, representative of the Art
Moderne variant of the Moderne style. The massing of the structure suggests a simple cubic form, which reflects the
influence of the emerging International Style of architecture, with projections at the first and second stories. Asymmetrical in
design, the Amling House exhibits a low-pitch hipped roof, with a single gable-on-hip, and little to no eave overhangs.
Horizontality is emphasized by the second story horizontal scoring in the smooth stucco finish wall, along the north and west
elevations. In addition, the first and second story are delineated by decorative horizontal stringcourses, running along the
north and west elevations. The first-story exterior exhibits a white smooth stucco finish, with minimal architectural detailing,
including scalloped fascia, curved walls that flank the recessed entry, and a radial entry overhang. The house incorporates a
series of speedline-sash double-hung wood windows of varying sizes along each elevation. A prominent chimney is centered
along the north elevation and finished in a smooth white stucco, exhibiting similar horizontal scoring as the general exterior of
the house. The property is landscaped with several young trees, a lawn, low vegetation and simple walkway at the front
setback, with a hedge separating the property from the property to the south, and a contemporary fountain installed by 2008.
The driveway is located along the north elevation and leads to a detached, one-story, hipped roof, three-car garage, built at
the same time as the Amling House. Overall, the Amling House displays strong horizontal emphasis, and minimal, yet
distinct, ornamentation that embodies the Art Moderne style.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Amling House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic Art Moderne style and significanct for its association
with notable developer and prominent local builder, Allison C. Honer (1897-1981). Credited as the subdivider and builder of a
major portion of northwest Santa Ana, Honer arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-
356). The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco style Old
Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the
neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
According to city directories, the first known residents of the Amling House were Ernst C. Amling and Lydia S. Amling. Mr.
Amling was born on August 19, 1888, in Maywood Illinois, while Mrs. Amling (previously Hinz) was born on March 12, 1890,
in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Along with his brothers, Ernst C. Amling owned and operated a wholesale flower nursery business
called Amling Bros., which was relocated from Chicago to Santa Ana in 1921.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Ernst C. Amling operated his greenhouses from a 10.5-acre property located on West Fifth Street, while his brother, Paul F.
Amling, operated a similar group of greenhouses near Chicago.The Amling Bros. refused all retail business and only sold to
wholesale dealers. The Amling roses grown in Santa Ana were shipped to all parts of California, Mexico, Texas, Arizona and
Utah. Along with Tom Wright, Ernst C. Amling is recognized as one of the many pioneers and founding members of the
organization that would ultimately be known as “The Original Los Angeles Flower Market”, which was founded in 1919 as the
“American Florists’ Exchange”. The group officially incorporated themselves as “The Los Angeles Flower Market” in 1921. In
1933, Ernst C. Amling and his brother, Albert J. Amling, were the first Californians to apply for a rose patent. They were
granted a patent for their Red-Talisman Rose. Mr. Amling was passed away on August 27, 1957, four years after retiring.
Mrs. Amling remained in the Amling House until her passing in 1985.
The Amling House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.
And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel
chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the
Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each” (Orange County
Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and
1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell’s own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In
the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2018) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Amling House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Art Moderne style; and Criterion 4, for its association with developer
and local builder Allison C. Honer. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” for its “distinctive architectural style
and quality,” embodying the massing, materials, and detailing of Art Moderne design; for its “association with a significant
period in the history of the city”, namely the development of Floral Park as the premier residential district of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Santa Ana; and “association with a significant person”, Allison C. Honer.
Character defining features of the Amling House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and
finishes (smooth stucco); low-pitch hipped roof; cubic form and massing with projections; horizontal scoring and stringcourse;
curved walls at entry; radial entry overhang, and speedline-sash double-hung wood windows.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agree to furnish the City with any and all information requested which

5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth

deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the

Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
3-10
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT

Santa Ana, CA 92706
- 4 -
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half

any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within
thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to
cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts
to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be
diligently pursued to completion by the Owner), then the City may, without further notice,
declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to
specifically enforce the obligations of the Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement,
apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by the Owner or
apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if the City does not
enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in the City’s regulations governing historic properties are

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west’s
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern
for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the
Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick
foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or
extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window
detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes
rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux
dovecotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Boyle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
“Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington Square neighborhood and,
as an intact example of Ranch style architecture in the Washington Square neighborhood, “is a good example of period
architecture” (Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-2.2).

The Boyle House is a one-story single-family residential building constructed in 1951 in the Ranch style. The building has
a cross-gable roof with a moderate pitch that extends over the driveway to the south, creating a porte cochere. Exterior
features along front elevation include a generally stucco-clad exterior with vertical flush wood cladding with dog ears and
triangular faux dovecotes in the gable ends and a horizontal lapped wood siding-clad water table, and exposed rafter tails
with minimal eave overhang. Additionally, a brick chimney, a canted bay with brick water table, and a partial width front
porch are also visible on the primary elevation. Fenestration includes two double hung bay windows on both sides of a
larger central fixed window set within the canted bay, as well as a large multi-light fixed window situated behind the porch.
The porch and porte cochere are supported by simple square wood posts atop brick piers. A detached garage at the rear
of the property has been converted into a workshop. The house appears intact to its 1951 date of construction, and is in
good condition.

The Boyle House is significant as a representative example of a Ranch style residential building house from the middle
decades of the twentieth century in Santa Ana. The address first appears in the 1954 Santa Ana Directory with W. Lyle Boyle
listed as the owner, and Mrs. Geraldine Boyle also living at the residence. Mr. Boyle was a civil engineer. Mr. Boyle filed for
a pool permit in 1960. The 1962 directory indicates that Geraldine Boyle had become the head of household, suggesting that
Mr. Boyle passed between 1960-1962. In 2006 the home was sold to Raymond and Maria Braun.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and
selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Boyle House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Civic Center Drive, and Bristol Street. Most of this area was owned by the family of
Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops
were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the
Ross-McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in
the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only
about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern
terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area
into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early
1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes
and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built
by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property
owners could customize to their tastes (“Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride,” Washington Square Neighborhood
Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern
California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.
The Boyle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as a representative example of the
characteristics of the Ranch style including the cross-gable roof with a moderate pitch, vertical flush wood cladding in the
gable ends (some with dog ears), shallow eaves with exposed rafter tails, single-story form, multi-light fixed and double-
hung windows, as well as accent brickwork at the canted bay and piers supporting the porch and porte cochere. Character-
defining exterior features of the Boyle House include, but may not be limited to: wood cladding; roof configuration; massing;
windows; porch; and architectural details such as exposed rafter tails and triangular faux dovecotes, and accent brickwork.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with
3-20
size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, the City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by the
Owner, the City shall give written notice to the Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such
a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within
thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to
cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts
to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be
diligently pursued to completion by the Owner), then the City may, without further notice,
declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to
specifically enforce the obligations of the Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement,
apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by the Owner or
apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. The City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if the City does not

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The A. & M. Wagner House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Contributive” because it “contribute to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood
and, as an intact example of Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period
architecture” (Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-2.2).

*B10. Significance (continued):
While Mr. Farney was listed as owner and builder of the residence, no evidence supports him ever living at the site. The first
recorded residents of the home, according to the 1940 city directory, are Arthur S. and Mabel J. Wagner. Mr. and Mrs.
Wagner were members of the Ebell Club, and held numerous bridge games and modern literature readings at the home.
The next recorded occupant according to the 1950 city directory is Henry C. Houston. W.F. Burroughs is the next recorded
occupant according to the 1962 city directory. According to the grant deed, Barbara K. Bruce aquired the property in late
1962 and, according to oral history provided by the applicant, resided at the proprty for ten years. Then, according to the
1979 city directory, Jorge Montello occupied the residence.
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and
selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The A.& M. Wagner House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. This neighborhood is northwest of downtown
Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges,
avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder
Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in
Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr.
Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County
Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and
Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold
for about $45,000 each” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic
styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman,
Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable
projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, and the 1960
Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell’s own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War II years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style.
In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2003) Floral Park maintains
its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The A. & M. Wagner House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood,
and, as a modest intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of
period architecture.” Character defining features of the A.& M. Wagner House that should be preserved include, but may not
be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and wood cladding); massing (one-story, asymmetrical); roof configuration and
eave detailing; fenestration (multi-light hung wood windows); brick chimney; modest porch and architectural detailing.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with
4-21
size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10.Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
