ADDRESS 2145 North Greenleaf Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1925 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT None NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Edwards House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Edwards House is a one-story house constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. The building is rectangular in plan with a porte-cochere attached at the south elevation, and a contemporary wood- framed overhang that extends east of the porte-cochere. The house has a predominantly flat roof that is accented by a flat perimeter parapet, an angular stepped parapet, and shallow, moderate-pitch asymmetrical gable at the primary, west elevation. While the roofing material at the flat roof portion is not observable, clay barrel tiles clad the parapets as coping, and clad the asymmetrical gable, and porte-cochere. Fenestration at the primary elevation consists of tripartite Prairie School- style wood casement windows, with windows on the secondary elevations comprised of single-light, double-hung wood windows. The windows at the west elevation are shaded by fabric awnings. The main entry is located within a recessed entry portico under the asymmetrical gable, and consists of a door flanked by two sidelights—all which exhibit a Prairie School- style glazing pattern. Both the entry portico and the porte-cochere share distinctively shaped openings marked by rounded corners. There is a detached garage located behind the house along the southern parcel boundary. The property is generally landscaped with low vegetation, shrubs, and lawn. The property retains a high degree of integrity. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Also address integrity) The Edwards House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1925 by Roy Russell, and was valued at approximately $4,000, according to the original building permit. At the time of its construction the listed property owner was Roy Russell, who was a prominent builder and sub-divider of the Floral Park neighborhood, repectively. According to city directories, R.C. Edwards, an accountant that specialized in Federal and State income tax and inheritance and estate taxes, occupied the residence in 1926. The next recorded occupant was C.S. Givens, owner of the Givens & Cannon Drug Co. with two locations at 433 West Fourth Street and 1703 North Main Street, respectively. Mr. Givens was last listed in city directories as occupyng the home in the 1954 directory. The next documented occupant of the home was L.M. Weaver, whom was listed as retired at the time.

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 Edwards 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. 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 (2018) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Edwards House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period,” representative of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Typical features of the Spanish Colonial Revival exhibited by the Edwards House include stucco cladding, barrel tile coping and roofing, asymmetrical composition, arched openings, and stepped parapet. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a “good example of period architecture” as a highly intact example of a one-story Spanish Colonial Revival house from the 1920s. Character defining features of the Edwards House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco); roof configuration, materials, and treatment (clay barrel tiling); massing and composition; doors and windows (Prairie School-style wood casement windows, where extant); entry portico; and porte-cochere. *B12.

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 5-21 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2145 North Greenleaf Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 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. 5-22 HRC 2017–40/ HRCA 2017–41/ HPPA 2017–45 2145 NORTH GREENLEAF STREET EDWARDS 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 SITE EXHIBIT 3 5-23 This page left blank intentionally. 5-24
