renewal date of the Agreement, withdraw its notice to the Owner of nonrenewal.
d. If either the Owner or the City serves notice to the other of nonrenewal in any
year, the Agreement shall remain in effect for the balance of the term then remaining, either from
its original execution or from the last renewal of the Agreement, whichever may apply.
3. Standards and Conditions for Historic Property.
During the term of this Agreement, the Historic Property shall be subject to the following
conditions, requirements and restrictions:
a. Owner shall maintain the Historic Property in a good state of repair and shall
preserve, maintain, and, where necessary, restore or rehabilitate the property and its character-
defining features described in the “Historical Property Description” attached hereto, marked as
Exhibit B, notably the general architectural form, style, materials, design, scale, proportions,
C-8
organization of windows, doors, and other openings, textures, details, mass, roof line, porch and
other aspects of the appearance of the exterior to the satisfaction of the City.
b. All changes to the Historic Property shall comply with applicable City plans and
regulations, and conform to the rules and regulations of the Office of Historic Preservation of the
State Department of Parks and Recreation, namely the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
and Guidelines for Historic Preservation Projects. These guidelines are attached hereto, marked
as Exhibit C, and incorporated herein by this reference. Owner shall continually maintain the
Historic Property in the same or better condition.
c. A view corridor enabling the general public to see the Historic Property from the
public right-of-way shall be maintained, and Owner shall not be permitted to block the view
corridor to the property with any new structure, such as walls, fences or shrubbery, so as to
prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public.
d. The following are prohibited: demolition of the Historic Property or destruction of
character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation
unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources
Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the
Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs,
doors, walls, and windows; storage of junk, trash, debris, discarded or unused objects such as
cars, appliances, or furniture; and other unsightly by decoration, structure or vegetation which is
unsightly by reason of its height, condition, or inappropriate location.
e. Owner shall allow reasonable periodic inspection by prior appointment, as needed
or at least every five (5) years after the initial inspection, of the interior and exterior of the
Historic Property by representatives of the City of Santa Ana, the County Assessor, the State
Department of Parks and Recreation, and the State Board of Equalization, to determine the
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
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
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
C-9
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) 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
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
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 202-212 West Fourth
Street (commonly known as 202-208 W. 4th Street and 318-320 N. Sycamore Street),
Assessor Parcel Number 398-264-15, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in the City of
Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.
b. City and Owner hereby declare their specific intent that the covenants, conditions
and restrictions as set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall
C-10
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.
8. No Compensation.
Owner shall not receive any payment from City in consideration of the obligation
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
will accrue to Owner as a result of the effect upon the assessed value of the Property on the
account of the restrictions on the use and preservation of the Property.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Commercial Style (with a Second Empire Clock Tower Element)
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Commercial Style achieved maturity in large eastern and Midwestern cities, most notably Chicago, where the demands for office
and retail space in downtown areas led to the development of multi-storied buildings distinguished by an emphasis on windows over
wall surfaces and a relative lack of ornamentation. Dating from 1875 to 1930, commercial buildings generally have straight fronts
and level skylines, sometimes marked by an overhanging cornice. The regular fenestration pattern, usually consisting of repetitive
groupings of unadorned, rectangular windows, provides the primary characteristic of the facades. Chicago windows, with broad,
fixed central lights flanked by narrower, operable side sash, are often employed. Piers and spandrels may be in the same plane as the
windows, or spandrels may be recessed, with the result that neither horizontal nor vertical lines achieve dominance (Whiffen, 183-
189).

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
One of the most recognizable buildings in Santa Ana by virtue of its corner clock tower, the Spurgeon Building occupies the
southwest corner of Fourth and Sycamore Streets. Of brick construction, the building is divided into nine bays on the north (Fourth
Street) elevation and seven bays on the east elevation. Glazed display windows and storefronts, with solid bulkheads and transoms of
small, square panes of glass, occupy the street level bays. Building entries are located on each elevation and are distinguished by
rusticated surrounds. A decorative, projecting cornice circles the building above the ground floor. On the upper stories, the raised end
bays each contain single one-over-one double-hung sash and the slightly recessed interior bays each contain paired sash. Projecting
sills and paneled spandrels embellish the fenestration. At the fourth floor level, the tops of the piers are ornamented with raised brick
and tile arranged in a fork-like motif. Square panels punctuate the frieze above the fourth floor. Sandwiched between the end bays,
the overhanging cornice is detailed with dentils, bracketed soffits, and a patterned fascia. Rising above the northeast corner of the
building, the clock tower suggests the influence of the Second Empire style, with elaborate arches containing clock faces on four sides
surmounted by a cupola and flagpole. Other than relatively minor storefront alterations, the Spurgeon Building retains a high degree
of integrity.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
The Spurgeon Building was constructed in 1913 by William Spurgeon, the founder of Santa Ana, using a design provided by
architects Metcalf and Davis of Long Beach. It was the third Spurgeon Building on the site, having been preceded by smaller
structures erected in the1870s and 1880s. For many years it was not only the tallest building in Santa Ana, but also one of the most
prominent addresses in downtown, much favored by doctors and lawyers. Appropriately, the corner retail tenant was the White Cross
Drugstore; Walgreen’s took over the space in the 1930s.
William Spurgeon is not only remembered as the founder of Santa Ana, but also as one of its most prominent citizens. Spurgeon was
elected to the state legislature, was one of the prime movers in the movement to establish Orange County, and served as chairman on
the new county’s Board of Supervisors. His business and civic interests ranged from his general merchandise store, first opened on
Fourth Street in 1869, to the founding of Santa Ana’s first church (the Methodist Episcopal Church, now the Spurgeon Memorial
Methodist Church) in 1870 and the establishment of a stage coach stop followed by the formation of the Santa Ana and Newport
Railway. Spurgeon died in 1915. There was a campaign led by Tim Rush, local preservationist, to restore the operation of the clock
in 1999.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the
Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. By the end of the 1880s, Santa Ana’s downtown business district was defined by five city blocks of brick
commercial buildings on Fourth Street, with the heart of the city at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets (Thomas, 8:1). The
period of 1911-1915 saw many characteristic new business blocks or remodels along Fourth Street, and by the 1920s Santa Ana’s
downtown had expanded in each direction to include both commercial and civic development.
The Spurgeon Building possesses a strong historic integrity and, in the nearly ninety years of its existence, has become recognized as
a symbol of Santa Ana. It is historically significant as one of the most prominent buildings in downtown Santa Ana, emblematic of
Santa Ana’s prosperity and primacy in the affairs of Orange County as well as home to numerous local professionals. A tangible
legacy of Santa Ana’s founder and one of its foremost city builders, the building is the most significant extant building associated with
William Spurgeon. In addition, the building is architecturally significant as a local example of the Commercial Style of architecture,
which stood out in the city’s landscape as the tallest building until 1923.
Due to the extraordinary importance and high integrity of the Spurgeon Building, all original features of the exterior should be
considered to be character-defining and should be preserved, including (but not limited to): all exterior finishes; building
configuration and bay divisions; tower; fenestration; and cornice.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This building was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and listed again in 1984 as a contributor to the
Downtown Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also
listed in the California Register. Listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Spurgeon Building has been categorized
as “Landmark” because it “is on the national register,” “is on the state register,” “has historical/cultural significance to the City of
Santa Ana,” and “has a unique architectural significance” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

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
C-20
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.
