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). EXPLANATION OF CODES: .

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. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Amling House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic Art Moderne style and significant 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 ll, 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. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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 Countv Re ister 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 Il 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. *612.

DPR 523L MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1815 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 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 iE MILLSACTAGREEMENT 1815 North Heliotrope Drive 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.
