ADDRESS 1110 West Sixteenth Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1954 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Washington Square CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch style dominated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).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1955 Property Type: Single-Family Residence Applicable Criteria: 5S3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) 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. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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). *B12.

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 1-20 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1110 West Sixteenth Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 2 - historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with 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. 1-21 HRC 2017-49/ HRCA 2017-50/ HPPA 2017–54 1110 WEST SIXTEENTH STREET FRANK HOUSE P L A N N I N G AND B U I L D I N G A G E N C Y 500’ RADIUS EXHIBIT 3 SITE 1-22 This page left blank intentionally.
