Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side - gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Martian House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the 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 Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Also address integrity) The Marden -Evans House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Colonial Revival style. This house was originally constructed in 1942, and was valued at approximately $9,000, according to the original building permit. The first recorded occupants were Gilbert B. Martian and his wife Anna J. Martian, according to city directories 1949 - 1950. They first appeared in Santa Ana in the 1920's, where Gilbert worked as an accountant for San Joaquin Fruit Company. Mr. Martien- served in the U. S. Army during World War I and was buried at Holy Sepulcher Catholic Cemetery in Orange. The second owner was William G. Lucado who was a major sales representative for Chevrolet Motor Cars from the 1920's to the 1930s; he was born in 1898 and passed in 1965. Mr. Lucado is recorded as the owner up until 1962. According to city directories, Sharon L. Evans resided on the property after that for over 20 years. (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. The Martien-Evans 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 EI Toro Marine Base during World War It, 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 11 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 Martien-Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Character defining features of the Martian - Evans House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (horizontal wood siding); roof configuration, materials, and treatment (wood shake shingles and brick chimney); massing and composition; fenestration (multi -light single hung windows); and architectural detailing (dormers, wood shutters, sidelights). 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 Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2). *1312.
