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

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

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
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
3-
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
2526 North Santiago Street
Santa Ana, CA 92706
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

thereof or default hereunder.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/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 and
hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use 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 Kleidosty House is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as "Landmark" because it
"has historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana," for its representation of the agricultural era in Santa Ana's history, and
"has a unique architectural significance" as a finely detailed and highly intact example of the influential Craftsman style (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). The property also appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California
Register of Historical Resources.

This impressive Craftsman home is distinguished by a lingering Victorian era taste for ornamentation. Two stories in height,
the building is crowned by a multi -gabled roof. Rounded rafter tails and elaborately stepped beams are exposed in the
eaves, carved and turned pendants hang from the gable ends, and bargeboards are jig -sawn and accented with corbels.
Spanning most of the fagade, a three bay porch is tucked under the slope of the principal side gable on the north and
sheltered by a hipped roof on the south. An open pergola, draped with vines, extends north from the porch. Porch posts, like
the rest of the house, are covered with wide, horizontal siding. Boards with elaborately notched ends are used as capitals.
An equally ornate sawn railing encloses the space. Centered within the porch, the entry is flanked by large fixed sash
windows banded at the top by two rows of rectangular lights. Both the porch foundation and the entry stair walls are made of
brick. Above the porch, a balcony is sunk into the porch roof and partially covered by a front gable resting on two supports.

The Kleidosty House is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of Craftsman design and is historically
noteworthy as one of the handful of ranch houses still extant in Santa Ana. According to previous research, it was
constructed in 1910 for Paul and Lou Kletdosty (Les). The 1913-1914 City Directory noted Paul Kleidosty's occupation as
butcher. In 1916, the directory reported that Paul Kleidosty had "moved to Long Beach, Cal."and that the new residents
were Alexander R. and Margaret Wylie, ranchers. Briefly, Alfred H. and Mary J. Theal, also ranchers, where listed as the
owner residents of 2526 Santiago Avenue [sic], but by 1923 and continuing into the 1930s, the Wylies were again at this
address.
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. Early growth and development were stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific

A solid railing whose coping dips slightly in the middle of each of the two bays encloses the space. Two tripartite openings,
consisting of a central door flanked by half height sidelights with decorative muntins, open onto the balcony. On the south
elevation, a semi -circular porch is topped by a flat, bracketed roof carried on posts with notched block capitals. Windows
on the side and rear elevations are primarily double -hung sash in type. In good condition, the house appears to be
substantially unaltered.
*1310. Significance (continued):
Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was
recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of
Orange. The development of southern California in general and Santa Ana in specific experienced a large boost in the
second half of the 1880s, when competition between the two railroads triggered a real estate boom.
The economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned or worked on the
ranches that encircled the incorporated area. The Kleidosty House is a remnant of this era, when the outlying areas of
Santa Ana were covered with orchards and dotted with widely spaced ranch houses. Possessing a high degree of design
integrity, the Kleidosty House is most notable for its evocation of the Craftsman style that dominated residential construction
in southern California during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Its picturesque quality, derived from the
abundant use of sawn and carved woodwork is characteristic of transitional architecture of the early twentieth century. All
original and restored elements of this very intact residence are considered to be character -defining and should be
preserved, including (but not limited to): materials and finishes (wood, brick); roof configuration and treatment; massing and
composition; porches, balcony, and pergola; doors and windows; and architectural detailing (woodwork). Unique and
possessed of a high degree of integrity, the Kleidosty House is listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and
has been categorized as 'Landmark." It also appears to meet the architectural criteria for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources.
