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

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).

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.
