Owner's compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees 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

if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
-3-
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
1110 South Parton Street
Santa Ana, CA 92707
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
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 '/2) 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

referenced herein, 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 Owner,
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
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.
7. Binding effect of Agreement.
a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 1110 South Parton
Street, Assessor Parcel Number, 013-092-17, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in

and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
pass to and be binding upon Owner's successors and assigns in title or interest to the Historic
Property. Every contract, deed, or other instrument hereinafter executed, covering or conveying
the Historic Property or any portion thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered, and accepted subject to the tenants, restrictions, and reservations expressed in this
Agreement regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed, or other instrument.

imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of
this Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman
magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and
Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of
form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new
appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious
porches into building plans. Primarily a residential. style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable andhipped.
roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasionaluse of stucco; extensive use of
stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly
proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Friend 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." Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive"
because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Wilshire Square and "is a good example of period architecture" as one
of the few examples of the Craftsman style in the neighborhood (Municipal Code Section 30-2.2)."

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and Its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
A front gable spans the entire fagade of this one-story Craftsman bungalow. The bargeboard is supported by carved
brackets and punctuated by purlins. Rafters are visible in the overhanging eaves along the side elevations. Three louvered
attic vents, arranged in a Palladian configuration, are centered beneath the peak of the gable. Occupying the south half of
the fagade, a recessed porch is outlined by a segmental arch that is cut into the clapboard cladding of the building. A stick
porch railing connects a clapboard pedestal next to the central entry stairs and a brick pier at the corner. Spanned by a multi -
light transom, a tripartite window overlooks the porch space. A single double -hung sash, sixteen -over -one, is located on the
north half of the fagade. The porch treatment, brick foundation, and attic vents suggest that modifications were made to the
house in the 1920s and 1930s, perhaps when building permits for unspecified alterations were obtained in 1925 and 1935. In
the rear of the property, a one-story, front -gabled garage retains a vertical slat vent that is probably echoes the original
treatment of the attic vents on the house. Otherwise unaltered, the house is in good condition.

The Friend House is architecturally significant as one of the few examples of the Craftsman style in the Wilshire Square
neighborhood. It is also historically notable as one of the oldest, if not the oldest, homes in the neighborhood. According to
research conducted by the Wilshire Square Neighborhood Association, the house was built in 1915. However, city directory
listings for the property, apparently originally addressed as 620 Fairview, first appeared in 1923. Marcus and Anna Friend
were the owners and residents. Mr. Friend was a grocer, initially working for F. J. Hershiser in the Grand Central Market and
then beginning in 1926, as a partner in the Friendale Self Service Grocers, also located in Grand Central Market.

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
initially 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 Friend House is located in Wilshire Square, a neighborhood located south of the city center and bounded by West
McFadden Avenue on the north, West Edinger Avenue on the south, South Main Street on the east, and South Flower
Street on the west. This area remained agricultural in use into the early twentieth century, the landscape dotted with walnut
and orange groves. The 1912 plat map of Santa Ana showed South Main Street and Fairview Avenue (now McFadden
Avenue) as the only streets in the area, with the majority of the property held by a few landowners: N. Palmer, H. K.
Hanson, O'Brien, and Lewis.
Development of Wilshire Square began circa 1923, when newspaper advertisements for newly subdivided lots costing
between $635.00 and $1,875.00 boasted "five foot sidewalks, curbs, electricity, gas, sewer, city water and ornamental trees'
(Santa Ana Register. April 12, 1923). By 1923, all of Flower, Garnsey, Van Ness, Ross, and Borchard and portions of the
remaining streets had been laid out. Lathrop Junior High School, designed by architect Frederick Eley in 1921 (demolished
circa 1970), was constructed on the southwest corner of Fairview and Main and became an anchor of the neighborhood. In
1925, over 65 homes had been built in Wilshire Square, according to a count of addresses listed in the city directories. A
1927 map indicated that the area was zoned for single-family residences, except the east side of Sycamore, which was set
aside for "courts and apartments, " apparently as a buffer for the "neighborhood business" zone on South Main Street. By
1930, maps of the City showed that, with the exception of a gap between Borchard and Edinger Avenues on Birch,
Broadway, and Sycamore, all the streets in Wilshire Square were in place. Mapped by the Sanborn Company between
1931 and 1940, the neighborhood was substantially developed prior to the beginning of World War ll.
Built in three phases, Wilshire Square primarily showcases the revival architectural styles popular during the first phase,
circa 1923 to 1931, when 326 homes were built: variations of the Tudor Revival, the Spanish Colonial Revival, and the
Colonial Revival. A handful of Craftsman bungalows completed the picture. A second phase, from 1935 to 1942, marked
the recovery from the Great Depression and the war preparation years, and resulted in another 171 homes. The post World
War 11 building boom added 91 homes, many in the newly popular California Ranch style. Enhanced by the canopies of
mature trees that line many of the streets, Wilshire Square developed as a middle class neighborhood of white and blue
collar workers. Homes were both owner and speculator built, and, regardless of style, are unified by their one-story height,
scale, common setbacks, and the placement of detached garages in the rear of each property. Retaining these qualities
today (2003), the neighborhood was recognized for excellence in urban design by the Orange County Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects in 1997.
The Friend 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." As an example of a Craftsman bungalow, the house
showcases the gable roof with overhanging eaves, front porch, wood cladding, and tripartite window that were often
associated with style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall
character and history' of Wilshire Square and "is a good example of period architecture" as one of the few examples of the
Craftsman style in the neighborhood. Character defining exterior features of the Friend House that should be preserved
include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (wood, clapboard); roof configuration and treatment; massing and
composition; original doors and windows; porch; garage; and architectural detailing (porch supports, brackets window
surrounds).
