Topic: HRCA No. 2021-11, HRC 2021-11, HPPA No. 2021-10 – The Russell-Irving
House

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the north side of West Twentieth Street in the West
Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,782-square-foot, Minimal Traditional
residence and detached garage on a 7,700-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 65 years old and is a good example of
period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The property, recognized as the Russell-Irving House has distinctive architectural
features of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style with
Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and
builder Roy Roscoe Russell. Along with developer and builder Allison Honer, Roy
Russell was credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa
Ana.
The Russell-Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side-
gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing.
Simplicity and near symmetry identify the Colonial Revival inspiration for this single-
family residence, which features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with modest
overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior
walls are clad in a combination of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The
façade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A pattern. The
focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the “C” bay, detailed
with a Classical surround and containing a non-original wood door with built-in screen.
The end (“A”) bays feature single, multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with
shutters, while the ”B” bay features a multi-paned tripartite window composed of two
casement windows flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west
elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and tripartite, multi-paned,
double-hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one-
story, gable-roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building
permits document removal of the original shake roof. While the residence has been
altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to
detract from the integrity of the residence. Character-defining features of the Russell-
Irving House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and
horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; four-bay
façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main
entry surround.

The Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the side-gabled roof variant of the
Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the
house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall
character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-
gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the West Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The
president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this
public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this
public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed
notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of
this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from
any members of the public.

account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $916.72 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

Historic Resources Commission 1 –11 7/1/2021
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
935 West Twentieth Street
Santa Ana, CA 92706

any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.

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

for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs:
in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in
particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in
square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand
home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and
manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise,
Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often
with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-
story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side
gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration
generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of
the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often
resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood
shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of
West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture. (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, the Russell-Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side-gable
variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. Simplicity and near symmetry identify the
Colonial Revival inspiration for this single-family residence, which features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with
modest overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination
of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The façade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A
pattern. The focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the “C” bay, detailed with a Classical surround
and containing a non-original wood door with built-in screen. The end (“A”) bays feature single, multi-paned, double-hung
windows framed with shutters, while the ”B” bay features a multi-paned tripartite window composed of two casement windows
flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and
tripartite, multi-paned, double-hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one-story, gable-
roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building permits document removal of the original shake roof.
While the residence has been altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to detract
from the integrity of the residence. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and neatly trimmed hedges and features a
walkway paved in flagstone leading to the front entry.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Russell-Irving House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the side-gable variant of Minimal
Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and
builder Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965). Along with developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), Roy Russell was
credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. An early Russell project was his 1928
subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. Little information is available
regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-1990's. However, during the 1990's Paul and Therese Irving bought the
property and resided there until 2004, when the property was sold to Adrienne Salyer. The property was sold soon after to
Steven and Louise Mishler who resided there for 13 years.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Russell-Irving House is located has been
known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower
Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time,
the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and
1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315
North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950,
around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed
throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of
West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Russell-Irving House include, but may not be limited
to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; four-bay
façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main entry surround.

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

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.

July 1, 2021
Topic: HRCA No. 2021-06, HRC 2021-06, HPPA No. 2021-06 – The Martha Ann Brooks
House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
06 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-06 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Benjamin and Nicolette Ellen-
Valdez Ramirez subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and
City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Benjamin and Nicolette Ellen-Valdez Ramirez are requesting approval to designate an
existing residence located at 2307 North Benton Way to the Santa Ana Register of
Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City
of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of North Benton Way in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 2,358-square-foot, Ranch House residence and
detached garage on a 9,800-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 70 years old and is a good example of
period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The property, recognized as the Martha Ann Brooks House has distinctive architectural
features of the hacienda variant of the Ranch architectural style. This house was
originally constructed in 1951 for $20,000 by J. H. Russell and Son. Soon after it was
constructed it was sold to Martha Ann Brooks and her first husband William Cheney.
Martha Ann Brooks and William Cheney divorced in the mid-1960s, and Martha Ann
later married Walter L. Brooks who served on the Santa Ana City Council in the 1960s.
Martha Ann was a civic leader in Santa Ana, raising money for the public library, arts
and culture, and hospitals.
Inspired by the nineteenth century adobe homes of the California pioneers, the Martha
Ann Brooks House is an intact and unusual example of the hacienda variant of the
Ranch style. The one-story single-family residence sits on a modestly sized parcel, sited
with a typical setback, and features a detached three-car garage. The house and
detached garage exhibit a horizontal, one-story massing with low-pitched and side-
gabled roofs clad in clay barrel tiles displaying carved brackets in the overhanging
eaves. Both structures’ exterior walls are clad in brick and stucco suggesting adobe.
wood clapboard sides the gable ends. A partial-width open porch tucked beneath the
gable roof is characterized by stout, brick piers, banded at top by decorative tiles, that
define three bays. Centrally located within the porch, the front entry consists of a single
half-glazed, wood front door with a single side light. The living room north of the entry is
illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, consisting of a large
central pane flanked by a pair of casement windows. Two double, metal-framed, multi-
light casement windows are located further north of the living room in the projecting end
bay of the façade and overlooking the south bay of the porch.. Along the north, south,
and east elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed, multi-light
casement windows, many similarly capped. A non-original decorative brick chimney

carved brackets in the overhanging eaves; partial-width open porches tucked beneath
the gable roof; metal-framed, multi-paned windows and front entry; and exterior walls of
brick or stucco that suggest adobe.
The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch
style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time
Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member.
The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive
architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The
president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this
public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this
public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed
notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of
this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from
any members of the public.

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

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

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

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West’s
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s
concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design,
the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick
foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or
extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window
detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes
rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove
cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha
Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The
recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example
of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Inspired by the nineteenth century adobe homes of the California pioneers, the Martha Ann Brooks House is an intact and
unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The one-story single-family residence sits on a modestly sized
parcel, sited with a typical setback, and features a detached three-car garage. The house and detached garage exhibit a
horizontal, one-story massing with low-pitched and side-gabled roofs clad in clay barrel tiles displaying carved brackets in the
overhanging eaves. Both structures’ exterior walls are clad in brick and stucco suggesting adobe. wood clapboard sides the
gable ends. A partial-width open porch tucked beneath the gable roof is characterized by stout, brick piers, banded at top by
decorative tiles, that define three bays. Centrally located within the porch, the front entry consists of a single half-glazed,
wood front door with a single side light. The living room north of the entry is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light
picture window, consisting of a large central pane flanked by a pair of casement windows. Two double, metal-framed, multi-
light casement windows are located further north of the living room in the projecting end bay of the façade and overlooking
the south bay of the porch.. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed,
multi-light casement windows, many similarly capped. A non-original decorative brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline.
Alterations to the house include an addition to the rear of the property. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the
house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a long driveway
leading towards the rear detached garage.

The Martha Ann Brooks House is architecturally significant as as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch
style. This house was originally constructed in 1951, by J. H. Russell and Son for Wesley Farney. Soonafter it was
constructed it was sold to Martha Ann Brooks and her first husband William Cheney. Martha Ann Brooks and William Cheney
divorced in the mid-1960s, and Martha Ann later married Walter L. Brooks in 1969. Walter L. Brooks served on the Santa Ana
City Council in the 1960s. Martha Ann was a civic leader in Santa Ana, raising money for the public library, arts and culture,
and hospitals. She was a prominent member of the Republican party, being invited to the White House on several occasions,
and was a constant learner and creative person, mastering painting, pottery, fashion design and millinery. She lived to be 101
and 7 months old and was interviewed by the City of Santa Ana History Room in 2018 for her 100th Birthday.

*B10. 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 Martha Ann Brooks 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann
Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The
recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of
the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the
Martha Ann Brooks House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: horizontal, one-story massing; low-
pitched and side-gabled roofs covered in clay barrel tiles and displaying carved brackets in the overhanging eaves; partial-
width open porches tucked beneath the gable roof; metal-framed, multi-paned windows and front entry; and exterior walls of
brick or stucco that suggest adobe.

- 1 -
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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 1, 2021
Topic: HRCA No. 2021-13, HRC 2021-13, HPPA No. 2021-12 – The Ida C. Wiesseman
House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
13 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-13 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Lauren and Jenny Hartshorne,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney
(Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lauren and Jenny Hartshorne are requesting approval to designate an existing
residence located at 2311 North Heliotrope Drive to the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa
Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of North Heliotrope Drive in the Floral
Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,306-square-foot, Minimal Traditional
residence and detached garage on a 7,800-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 73 years old and is a good example of
period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The property, recognized as the Ida C. Wiesseman House, has distinctive architectural
features of the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style, and exhibits
details consistent with the Colonial Revival style. It was built in 1948 for $12,000 by the
Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The home was built for
Mrs. Ida C. Wiesseman, who became a widow in 1948. Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman
moved with their two youngest children from New York City between 1905 and 1910
and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at 114 W.
Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years 1910 and 1961,
Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original stakeholder and neighborhood staple in
Downtown Santa Ana.
The Ida C. Wiesseman House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the
gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features a
moderately pitched, front- and side-gabled roof configuration with shallow eaves. The
roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a
combination of red brick and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of
the eave line. The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof
is supported by a single slender post with a diamond pattern cross bracing between the
post and house. The entry contains a wide, six-panel, wood door flanked by two narrow,
half-height sidelights. The front (west) elevation features wood-framed and multi-paned
double-hung sash windows framed by wood shutters, located to north and south of the
entry porch. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a
series of four-over-four wood-framed, double-hung sash windows. A prominent exterior
brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story,
gabled, detached garage clad in wood lap siding and featuring four-over-four wood-
framed, double-hung sash windows is located in the rear of the property. Character-
defining features of the Ida C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but
may not be limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing;
roof configuration and treatment; porch; brick chimney; fenestration (wood-framed and
multi-paned double-hung sash windows); and architectural detailing (wood shutters,
frieze board).

The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under
Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the
FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all non-essential
features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the
style, the house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival, including its
combination of red brick and wood lap siding; wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung
sash windows; open front porch whose canopy is supported by a single slender post,
and details such as frieze board and window shutters. The house is also of interest
because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral
Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal
Traditional architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property
The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the
application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation
Agreement.

president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this
public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this

account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $824.67 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana
hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows:
A. On July 1, 2021, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing for the placement on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties (Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-13) and
categorization (Historic Resources Commission Categorization No. 2021-
13) of the Ida C. Wiesseman House located at 2311 North Heliotrope
Drive, Santa Ana.
B. The Ida C. Wiesseman House has distinctive architectural features of the
Minimal Traditional style and was built in1948.
C. The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana
Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional
style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses
(1940), specifically, that “all non-essential features can profitably be
eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the
house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival, including its
combination of red brick and wood lap siding; wood-framed and multi-
paned double-hung sash windows; open front porch whose canopy is
supported by a single slender post, and details such as frieze board and
window shutters. The house is also of interest because it was built by the
Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The
recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example
of Minimal Traditional architecture. Character-defining features of the Ida
C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but may not be
limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing;
roof configuration and treatment; porch; brick chimney; fenestration

Santa Ana Municipal Code.
G. The subject property meets the minimal standards for placement in the
Contributive category pursuant to Section 30-2.2(3) of the Santa Ana

conducting the public hearing, hereby approves:
A. Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-13 to place the Ida
C. Wiesseman House located at 2311 North Heliotrope Drive, Santa Ana,

Chapter 1, Part 5 of Division 1 of Title 5, Article 12, Section 50280 et seq., which

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

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
Historic Resources Commission 3 –11 7/1/2021
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
2311 North Heliotrope Drive
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

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

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.

Drive, Assessor Parcel Number, 002-071-15, and more particularly described in
Exhibit A, in the City of Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its
efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames.
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the
Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all
non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house
exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer
Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it
contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional
architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, the Ida C. Wiesseman House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing
variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features a moderately-pitched, front- and side-gabled roof configuration
with shallow eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination
of red brick and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the
central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a single slender post with a diamond pattern cross bracing between

The Ida C. Wiesseman House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the gable-and-wing variant of the
style Minimal Traditional architectural style. It was built in 1948 by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of
Floral Park. The home was built for Mrs. Ida C. Wiesseman, (1872-1961) who became a widow in 1948. Before residing at
this property, she resided at 2411 North Park Blvd. with her husband Frank W. Wiesseman (1863-1930). Mr. and Mrs.
Wiesseman moved with their two youngest children from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a
business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at 114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years,
1910 and 1961, Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana.
The two were active in the First Methodist Church, and Mrs. Wiesseman was an active member of The Ebell Club. The family
was notable in business and social circles in Santa Ana. Mr. Wiesseman passed away in 1930 at the age of 68, and Mrs.
Wesseman in 1961 in her late 80s. Their daughter Helen, born in 1913 in Santa Ana, would reside in the home most of her
life until 1969. She would pass away in San Diego in 2004. In 1969, the home was sold to Jack and Laura Daley, about
whom little is known.

*B10. 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 Ida C. Wiesseman 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the
Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all
non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house exhibits
details consistent with the Colonial Revival, including its combination of red brick and wood lap siding; wood-framed and
multi-paned double-hung sash windows; open front porch whose canopy is supported by a single slender post, and details
such as frieze board and window shutters. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key
firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall
character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Ida C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but
may not be limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing; roof configuration and treatment;
porch; brick chimney; fenestration (wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows); and architectural detailing
(wood shutters, frieze board).

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

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.

Topic: HRCA No. 2021-04, HRC 2021-04, HPPA No. 2021-04 – The Clarence Bond
House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
04 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-04 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Alfred Frank Weitzman, Maura
Zwerling Weitzman, David A. Weitzman, and Brooke Weitzman, subject to non-
substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Alfred Frank Weitzman, Maura Zwerling Weitzman, David A. Weitzman, and Brooke
Weitzman are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2424
North Bonnie Brae to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as
approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the south side of North Bonnie Brae in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 2,785-square-foot, Ranch style residence and
attached garage on a 15,775-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 71 years old and is a good example of
period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The property, recognized as the Ida C. Wiesseman House, is in intact and characteristic
example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. It was built in 1950 for
$30,000 by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond and his wife Hazel M. Bond,
the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home. Mr. Bond was in
business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment bonds. The
business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the
depression due to the marketing of bonds for public infrastructure improvement
throughout Orange County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the home
for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s.
The Clarence Bond House is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized
parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached
two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear elevation and is
connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped
plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design,
the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge
running parallel to the front façade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched,
side-gabled roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front
elevation and a projecting front-gabled wing at the west end of the facade. The roof
design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The
exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and
horizontal siding, board-and-batten siding, and brick. Centered on the façade, the
partial-width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof
extension. At the west end of the porch, , the entry contains a single, half-glazed, front
door with a cross bottom panel and a single side light. East of the entry, the living room
is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, with a large central
pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal-framed, multi-light, double
casement windows framed by wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along
the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed,
multi-light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline.
Alterations to the house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of

the original rear porch, window changeouts, and enclosure of a nook at east side of
house. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is
in good condition. Character-defining features of the Clarence Bond House that should
be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal-framed, multi-light façade
fenestration; overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including
broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival
details.
The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II
Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal-framed, multi-light
façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of
exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and
stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is “Contributive”
because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and
is a good example of Ranch style architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside

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

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

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West’s
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s
concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design,
the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick
foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or
extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window
detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes
rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove
cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the
metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior
building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The
recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of
Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and
constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear
elevation and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a
generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed
through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front façade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched, side-gabled
roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front elevation and a projecting front-gabled wing at the
west end of the facade. The roof design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The exterior
of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and horizontal siding, board-and-batten siding, and
brick. Centered on the façade, the partial-width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof
extension. At the west end of the porch, , the entry contains a single, half-glazed, front door with a cross bottom panel and a
single side light. East of the entry, the living room is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, with a
large central pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal-framed, multi-light, double casement windows framed by
wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a
series metal-framed, multi-light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the
house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of the original rear porch, window changeouts, and
enclosure of a nook at east side of house. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in
good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a single brick walkway leading towards the front
entry.

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The Clarence Bond House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of a post-World War II Ranch
style house in Santa Ana. This house was originally constructed in 1950, by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond
(1900-1980) and wife Hazel M. Bond (1901-1985), the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home
during its period of significance. Mr. Bond was in business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment
bonds. The business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the depression due to the marketing
of bonds for public infrastructure improvement throughout the County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the
home for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s.

*B10. 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 Clarence Bond 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II 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 (2021), Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the
metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior
building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The
recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral
Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining
features of the Clarence Bond House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal-framed, multi-light
façade fenestration; overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board
and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details.

- 1 -
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

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.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 1, 2021
Topic: HRCA No. 2021-12, HRC 2021-12, HPPA No. 2021-11 – The Eisen-Glasser
House (2206 North Freeman Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021-
12 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-12 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the
Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Jacob and Vanessa Collins
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney
(Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jacob and Vanessa Collins are requesting approval to designate an existing residence
located at 2206 North Freeman Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa
Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of North Freeman Street in the West
Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,594-square-foot, Ranch House
residence and detached garage on an 8,163-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the
Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing,
Historic Resources Commission 5 –1 7/1/2021

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site
having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria
set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails
applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is
eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The
first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa
Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the property is 65 years old and is a good example of
period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The property, recognized as the Eisen-Glasser House has distinctive architectural
features of the Ranch architectural style. This house was originally constructed in 1956
for $14,000 by the owner/builder, Jack A. Eisen. In April 1959, the property was jointly
owned by the Eisen’s and Bernard and Bluma Glasser. The Glasser family were
prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Mr. Glasser owned and
resided on the property until 2016.
The Eisen-Glasser House is an intact and good example of Ranch style architecture.
The one-story single-family residence sits on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a
typical setback and a detached two-car garage at the rear of the property. The
residence exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched cross-
dutch-gabled roof with an extension at the rear of the house. The roof design exhibits
wide open eaves with visible rafters behind the fascia. The exterior of the façade (east
elevation) is clad in a combination of horizontal, wide wood lap siding and vertical board
and batten, accented by brick planters lining the base. Stucco sheathes the side and
rear elevations of the house. The façade consists of a projecting south wing and
recessed north wing. Located off-center at the junction of the two wings and sheltered
under the main roof, the deep entry porch is characterized by wood lap siding to the left
(south) and a simple wood post attached to a triangular braced roof overhang to the
right (north). The entry features a wood door with a large window pane of a striated
glass set over a panel embellished with an “X” design. North of the entry, consists of a
large wood-framed multipaned picture window flanked by double hung four-over-four
sashes, a total of seven columns of four rectangular panes, occupies most of this
section of the facade. Two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash
windows are centered on the facade south of the entry. Along the north, south, and east
elevations, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including four-over-four
and horizontal pane sashes. An interior brick chimney located at the center of the house
rises above the cross-dutch gable roof.
The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the
Historic Resources Commission 5 –2 7/1/2021

Ranch House style. The property is also notable for its association with the Glasser family,
who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. The recommended
categorization is “Contributive” because the property contributes to the character and
history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute
Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act
agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the
property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic
Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions
proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The
agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property
tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the
property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and
appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in
determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside
from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood
Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation

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

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West’s
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern
for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Characteristic features of
the house include its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the
combination of wide wood lap siding with board and batten; and picturesque fenestration, notably two pairs of wood-framed,
diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows on the façade.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the
Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example
of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in West Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback
and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located behind (west of) the rear elevation of the residence.
Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched cross-dutch gabled
roof with an extension at the rear of the house. The roof design exhibits wide open eaves with visible rafters behind the fascia.
The exterior of the façade (east elevation) is clad in a combination of horizontal, wide wood lap siding and vertical board and
batten, accented by brick planters lining the base. Stucco sheathes the side and rear elevations of the house. The façade
consists of a projecting south wing and recessed north wing. Located off-center at the junction of the two wings and sheltered
under the main roof, the deep entry porch is characterized by wood lap siding to the left (south) and a simple wood post attached
to a triangular braced roof overhang to the right (north). The entry features a wood door with a large window pane of a striated
glass set over a panel embellished with an “X” design. North of the entry, a large wood-framed, multipaned picture window
flanked by double-hung four-over-four sashes, a total of seven columns of four rectangular panes, occupies most of this section
of the facade. Two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows are centered on the façade south of the
entry. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including four-over-four
and horizontal pane sashes. An interior brick chimney located at the center of the house rises above the cross-dutch gable
roof. With the sole exception of a modern roofing material, the house appears to be unaltered on the façade. The property is
landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and single concrete walkway leading towards the front entry.

The Eisen-Glasser House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House style. This
house was originally constructed in 1956 by the owner, Jack A. Eisen. Mr. and Mrs. Eisen resided in the property until 1959
when it was granted to Bernard and Bluma Glasser. The Glasser family were prominent members of the Jewish community in
Santa Ana. Mr. Glasser would own and reside in the property until 2016. In 2020, Jacob and Vanessa Collins acquired the
property.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Eisen-Glasser House is located has been known
as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on
the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time, the area was
primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained
only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street,
and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes
were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during
the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment
of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who
were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Eisen-Glasser House include, but may not be limited
to: its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the combination of materials and
finishes (wide wood lap siding with board and batten); wide open eaves with visible rafters behind fascia; and picturesque
fenestration, notably the large, multi-paned living room window and two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung
sash windows.

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 size,
scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 1, 2021
Topic: HEMA No. 2021-03 – The Mayberry Residence (2405 North Bonnie Brae)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2021-03.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Benjamin and Catherine Mayberry are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification
Application (HEMA) No. 2021-03 to allow exterior modifications consisting of additions to
the first floor, basement, and detached garage, and the construction of a pool and spa and
three detached accessory structures, for the Mayberry Residence located at 2405 North
Bonnie Brae.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of the Bonnie Brae and North
Benton Way intersection in the Floral Park neighborhood. The General Plan land use
designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR) and the zoning district is Single-
Family Residential (R1). The property contains an existing two story Tudor style residence
that is approximately 3,527 square feet in size with 333 square feet subterranean
basement and a 574 square feet detached garage on a 0.36-acre residential lot.
The property is deemed a historic structure because it was determined eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to a potential North
Broadway Park Historic District in 1980 and automatically included in the California
Register of Historical Resources. The house has distinctive architectural features of the
Tudor style and was built in 1928. The Tudor style house is characterized by steeply
pitched roofs, multipaned narrow windows, a heavy wooden front door, prominent cross-
gable design, and tall chimney feature. Typical to most Tudor style homes, the two-story
corner residence features steeply pitched roofs with prominent front-facing gables, rolled
eaves, multipaned narrow casement and double-hung windows, and clad with a

combination of stucco and brick, and a tall brick chimney. The roof material is composition
shingles and designed with exposed and shaped rafter tails and rounded shadow boards
with wrapped roofing at the roof rakes with rounded end caps. The home has a detached
three-car garage to the north of the property, located along North Benton Way, which
provides a large concrete driveway leading to the garage. The front elevation offers a long
sweeping steeped front-facing gable roof with an arched brick gable entry, and
multipaned narrow casement windows. The front yard is landscaped with a brick walkway
leading to the entry.
Project Description
The proposed exterior modifications will include a 446-square-foot addition for an
expanded kitchen, basement, and new bathroom; a 340-square-foot rear covered porch;
a 126-square-foot rear garage addition; and 630 square feet of new detached accessory
structures. The site will also be improved with a new in-ground pool and spa in the rear
yard and interior renovations to an existing mudroom, laundry room, den, and kitchen.
The expanded kitchen area is proposed along the west side of the house, approximately
15 feet behind the primary building facade facing Bonnie Brae, while the new bathroom
is proposed along the north elevation and approximately three feet west of the building
façade along Benton Way. Both areas of the residential addition incorporate a compatible,
lower pitched, hipped roof design with exposed rafters that connects with the covered
porch, which wraps around the northwest edge of the residence. Three new wood
casement windows and two new wood french doors are proposed along the north and
west elevations of the addition and remodeled mudroom, while all other windows and
doors of the residence will remain the same.
The garage remodel consists of the replacement of garage doors with carriage style steel
sectional garage doors, an overall six-foot rear extension, and relocated wood windows
and new man door at the rear. Like the addition to the main residence, the garage addition
will be lower than the existing garage height. It will contain two sweeping shed roofs on
the sides of the addition with a cross-gable roof at the center. The addition will be clad
with stucco finish to match the existing garage.
The rear and side yards will be improved with three new accessory structures. The
approximately 314-square-foot pavillion structure located west of the new pool and spa
will contain two storage rooms and a central fireplace. Two arbors, containing
approximately 216 square feet and 100 square feet each, are proposed west and east of
the main residence.
Analysis of the Issues
As proposed, the project will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for
the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating,
Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer,
Historic Resources Commission 6 –2 7/1/2021

revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a rehabilitation
project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. Staff has reviewed the proposed
modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they
pertain to the applicable criteria:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires
minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial
relationships.
The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its
historic use as a single-family residence. The use is not proposed to change. The
interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the addition providing
enhanced functionality.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal
of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a
property shall be avoided.
The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject
property will be retained and preserved. The proposed single story addition has
been designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and will be located
on secondary elevations, toward the side and rear of the structure. Although visible
from the public right-of-way, the proposed addition is designed to be compatible in
scale with a lower roof height, setback from the primary façade, and features the
reuse of existing windows, as feasible, or similar wood windows. The proposed
exterior alterations will not alter the primary south (front) and east (street side)
elevation, or any important spatial relationships that characterize the property.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use.
Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding
conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be
undertaken.
The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create
a false sense of historical development. The proposed addition will read as
contemporary in comparison to the existing single-family residence which
incorporates distinctive architectural features of the Tudor style. The addition is
single story and will have a lower pitch roof to the existing house to distinguish it
from the historic structure, and is designed to be compatible with the existing scale,
window pattern, and stucco finish of the residence. Moreover, the addition is set
back more than 15 feet from the primary facade so as not to significantly impact
the character defining features of the primary elevation. Therefore, the
architectural treatment will read as contemporary, not conjectural.

4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right
will be retained and preserved.
The project complies with Standard No. 4. The existing brick wainscot and cladding
of the entry porch are not original to the house, but have acquired historic
significance in its own right and will be retained and preserved. The proposed
addition and renovations will not affect or duplicate the existing brick cladding.
Although the detached garage’s roof-form and dormer features exemplifies
character defining features of the architectural style, the existing garage doors
were previously altered and the proposed replacement will not affect the historic
significance of the property.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes,
and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the
property will be preserved. The project does not propose to remove character-
defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation. The project
does propose to add to the rear and side of the house, which will remove windows
and doors along secondary elevations. Windows will be reused, as feasible, and
new wood windows and doors will be compatible with existing features.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials.
Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and
physical evidence.
Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of
deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will
not be used.
Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical
treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources
must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite.

9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy
historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property.
The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the
historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the
integrity of the property and its environment.
The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new addition will not destroy historic
materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. Although
the proposed addition is visible from the public right-of-way, it is subordinate to the
existing house due to its lower pitched roof, smaller scale, and deep setback from
the primary elevation. The proposed detached arbor, located east of the house
along Benton Way, can be removed without affecting the building’s structural
integrity and does not impact the visibility of character defining features of the
house. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Tudor architectural style
will not be disturbed, as the addition is only single-story, positioned to the rear and
side of the existing house, and will not alter the existing roof line. These features
allow the addition to appear subordinate to, and not overwhelm the existing
massing, while also preserving the historic sense of the existing roof line. The
materials of the new addition will also be compatible with the existing historic
materials, through the use of similar materials.
10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such
a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the
historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered
generally reversible as it does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form
and materials. The proposed addition will be located at the rear and side of the
house, avoids the most significant and character-defining features, and is
subordinate to the overall massing of the house. The essential form of the house
and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired.
In conclusion, staff has determined that the project complies with The Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed
addition would be compatible and consistent with the existing architectural elements that
reflect the original Tudor style construction while being mindful not to disturb the historic
materials that characterize the property. By localizing the scope of work towards the rear
and side of the house and differentiating the new work from the old, the property will maintain
its historic and character-defining features. Most importantly, due to the additive nature, the
addition will allow for the option for it to be removed in such a way that the essential form
and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness
upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and

A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING
THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2405 NORTH BONNIE BRAE
(HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION APPLICATION NO.
2021-03)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Benjamin K. Mayberry and Catherine I. Mayberry, Husband and Wife as
Joint Tenants (“Applicant”), are requesting approval of Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2021-03 to allow exterior modifications to the
property at 2405 North Bonnie Brae.
B. The legal owners of the property are Benjamin K. Mayberry and Catherine
I. Mayberry.
C. The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit
A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
D. The property is deemed a historic structure because it was determined
eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributor to a potential North Broadway Park Historic District in 1980 and
automatically included in the California Register of Historical Resources.
E. The Mayberry Residence has distinctive architectural features of the Tudor
architectural style and was built circa 1928. Character-defining exterior
features of the house, which should be preserved, include but may not be
limited to: steeply pitched roofs, curved sweeping shed roof, multipaned
narrow windows, exposed and shaped rafter tails, entry porch with roman
arch, and brick chimney.
F. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical
modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources
Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with
respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission
approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a
certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall
issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed
modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of
the historic property.

G. The proposed exterior modifications include a 446-square-foot addition for
an expanded kitchen, basement, and new bathroom; a 340-square-foot rear
covered porch; a 126-square-foot rear garage addition; and 630 square feet
of new detached accessory structures. The site will also be improved with
a new in-ground pool and spa in the rear yard and interior renovations to an
existing mudroom, laundry room, den, and kitchen.
H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic
Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 1, 2021
for the request for exterior modifications to the Mayberry Residence.
I. Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications
are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable:
i. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property
currently maintains its historic use as a single-family
residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior
configuration will remain substantially the same with the
addition providing enhanced functionality.
ii. The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic
character of the subject property will be retained and
preserved. The proposed single story addition has been
designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and
will be located on secondary elevations, toward the side and
rear of the structure. Although visible from the public right-of-
way, the proposed addition is designed to be compatible in
scale with a lower roof height, setback from the primary
façade, and features the reuse of existing windows, as
feasible, or similar wood windows. The proposed exterior
alterations will not alter the primary south (front) and east
(street side) elevation, or any important spatial relationships
that characterize the property.
iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed
changes will not create a false sense of historical
development. The proposed addition will read as
contemporary in comparison to the existing single-family
residence which incorporates distinctive architectural features
of the Tudor style. The addition is single story and will have a
lower pitch roof to the existing house to distinguish it from the
historic structure, and is designed to be compatible with the
existing scale, window pattern, and stucco finish of the
residence. Moreover, the addition is set back more than 15
feet from the primary facade so as not to significantly impact
the character defining features of the primary elevation.
Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as
contemporary, not conjectural.

iv. The project complies with Standard No. 4. The existing brick
wainscot and cladding of the entry porch are not original to the
house, but have acquired historic significance in its own right
and will be retained and preserved. The proposed addition
and renovations will not affect or duplicate the existing brick
cladding. Although the detached garage’s roof-form and
dormer features exemplifies character defining features of the
architectural style, the existing garage doors were previously
altered and the proposed replacement will not affect the
historic significance of the property.
v. The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive
materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or
examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will
be preserved. The project does not propose to remove
character-defining features or materials/finishes along the
primary elevation. The project does propose to add to the rear
and side of the house, which will remove windows and doors
along secondary elevations. Windows will be reused, as
feasible, and new wood windows and doors will be compatible
with existing features.
vi. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new addition
will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial
relationships that characterize the property. Although the
proposed addition is visible from the public right-of-way, it is
subordinate to the existing house due to its lower pitched roof,
smaller scale, and deep setback from the primary elevation.
The proposed detached arbor, located east of the house
along Benton Way, can be removed without affecting the
building’s structural integrity and does not impact the visibility
of character defining features of the house. Important spatial
relationships characterizing the Tudor architectural style will
not be disturbed, as the addition is only single story,
positioned to the rear and side of the existing house, and will
not alter the existing roof line. These features allow the
addition to appear subordinate to, and not overwhelm the
existing massing, while also preserving the historic sense of
the existing roof line. The materials of the new addition will
also be compatible with the existing historic materials, through
the use of similar materials.
vii. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed
project is considered generally reversible as it does not
remove essential aspects of the building’s form and materials.
The proposed addition will be located at the rear and side of
the house, avoids the most significant and character-defining
features, and is subordinate to the overall massing of the

house. The essential form of the house and the vast majority
of its historic materials will remain unimpaired.
viii. Standards 6-8 are not applicable. No features of this
description would be affected by this Project.
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as
this action is designed in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards.
Categorical Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-53 will be filed for this project.
Section 3. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana after
conducting the public hearing hereby approves the Certificate of Appropriateness for
Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2021-03. The Historic Resources
Commission finds that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the
character and integrity of the historic property. This decision is based upon the evidence
submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Staff Report
and exhibits attached thereto and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated
herein by this reference.
Section 4. The Historic Resources Commission Secretary is hereby directed to
file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Recorder’s Office after the adoption
of this Resolution pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5029.
ADOPTED this 1st day of July 2021.

Topic: HEMA No. 2021-05 – The Duhart House (804 North Baker Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution denying a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2021-05.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Margaret M. Lang and Julie Hawkings are requesting approval of Historic Exterior
Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2021-05 to allow exterior modifications consisting of
rebuilding and expanding a front entry porch, and a room and porch cover addition
towards the rear of the property, for to the Duhart House located at 804 North Baker
Street. The property was listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as “Key”
in 2001.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of the West Civic Center Drive
and North Baker Street intersection in the Washington Square neighborhood. The
General Plan land use designation for the site is Professional and Administrative Office
(PAO) and the zoning district designation is Specific Development (SD-20). The
property contains an existing one story Queen Anne styled residence that is
approximately 1,243 square feet in size with a detached garage on a 0.19-acre
residential lot.
The property is known as the Duhart House and is individually listed as No. 49 on the
Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in
2001 and was categorized as “Key.” The Duhart House is over 130 years old with a built
date circa 1890. It has distinctive architectural features of the Queen Anne/Queen Anne
Revival architectural style. Specifically, this one-story cottage is a simplified example of
the cross-gabled subtype of the Queen Anne style, characterized by a side-gabled wing
bordered by a front porch and a projecting front-gabled wing.

Building permits indicate the house has been reroofed (possibly resulting in the
elimination of eave detail), a new foundation constructed, and the porch restored.
Nonetheless, the present design remains true to its late 19th century origins. The
property also contains a one-story garage, sheathed in narrow overlap siding and
topped by a gabled roof that faces south onto Civic Center Drive. The garage was
constructed after the period of significance, in a vernacular Craftsman style.
Statement of Significance
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
Orange County. The economic underpinnings were agricultural, and many residents
owned or worked on the ranches that encircled the incorporated area. The Duhart
House is a remnant from this era, associated with a particular segment of the
community, which immigrated to the area from France and took up sheep ranching and
farming in Southern California. The Duhart House is historically significant as one of a
handful of ranch houses remaining in an area that was once liberally dotted with them.
The four-acre parcel on which the house stood was bounded by Baker Street, Hickey
Street (later Eighth Street and now Civic Center Drive West), and Bristol Street and was
planted with walnuts, oranges, and lemons. It is also notable for its extraordinarily long
association with one family. Bautista Duhart came to California from France in 1878,
initially settling in San Juan Capistrano and purchasing his properties in Santa Ana
between 1900 and 1902. His daughter, Henrietta Duhart Crowell, was still living in the
house in the 1990s.
The Duhart House is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies the distinguishing
characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of
development and under Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with a business or
use that was once common and is now rare. The Duhart House has been categorized
as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of
the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) Style; because it is characteristic of a significant period
in the history of Santa Ana, the agricultural era; and because it is associated with a
significant person in the City, in this case, the Duhart/Crowell family, long-time residents
of Santa Ana. In addition, the property may be eligible for listing in the National Register
of Historic Places if more research into its association with Santa Ana’s agricultural
past, specifically sheep husbandry, confirms its significance.
Project Description
The proposed exterior modifications include the demolition of a character-defining front
entry porch along the primary elevation. The porch is proposed to be rebuilt and
extended approximately two feet and eight-inches towards the front (east) elevation,
past the existing front elevation footprint. The reconstructed porch would include like-

for-like wood materials (e.g., columns, cornices, and balusters) and would be clad in
composition shingle and would rebuilt to its original height of approximately 11 feet.
This proposed modification would effectively change the historic appearance of the
structure along the primary elevation inconsistent with the character-defining features of
the Queen Anne architectural style. Additionally, extending the porch towards the front
elevation would detract from side-gabled wing design, and introduce a replacement that
deviates from the existing porch design. Lastly, the expansion would alter the roofline
along the primary elevation that would modify front elevation massing (side-gabled
wing), altering the historic elevation. Additional review of the proposed modification is
provided in the Analaysis of the Issues section below.
The proposed scope of work also includes a new 46-square-foot rear porch cover and a
161-square-foot addition to accommodate the expansion of an existing bedroom
(Bedroom 2), which will include two new closets and a new bathroom. The expansion
would also accommodate a new utility/pantry room, closet, and half bath, towards the
rear of the property. The bedroom expansion and new utility/pantry area would extend
approximately 23 feet towards the rear (west) and approximately 15 feet to the north.
The new addition would be approximately 13 feet in height, which is lower than the
existing building height of 18 feet. It would include a gabled and shed roof design with
composition shingle and include new wood two-over-two, double-hung sash windows
and shiplap siding, consistent with the existing design.
Analysis of the Issues
Consistency with Secretary of the Interior's Standards
The project has been reviewed against the ten criteria that form the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards (“Standards”), which are organized into four treatments:
Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction. Intended to provide
guidance for historical project review, the Rehabilitation Standard acknowledges the
need to alter or add to a historic building to meet continuing or new uses while retaining
the building's historic character. The proposed addition would be considered a
rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria as part of the
Standards. As detailed below, it has been determined that the proposed project is in
conflict with number of the applicable standards. The following is a review of staff’s
findings as they pertain to the criteria:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires
minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial
relationships.
The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its

interior configuration will remain substantially the same with the addition
providing enhanced functionality.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal
of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a
property shall be avoided.
The project does not comply with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the
subject property will not be retained and preserved. Instead, the project entails
the removal and alteration of specific character-defining architectural design
features of the structure, altering the overall historic fabric of the property. The
proposed porch expansion along the front/primary elevation changes the historic
appearance of the structure from the street, creating a false sense of historical
development that deviates from the character-defining features of the cross-
gabled subtype of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style. Moreover, the
expansion introduces massing that significantly affects the historic integrity of the
property and its environment. Specifically, by extending the front porch towards
the front (east) elevation the porch is detracting from the character-defining side-
gabled wing and introduces an inappropriate porch replacement that deviates
from the original porch design.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use.
Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding
conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be
undertaken.
The project does not comply with Standard No. 3. The front porch expansion
changes the building’s massing and proportion, changing the historic appearance
of the structure from the street and creating a false sense of historical
development along the primary elevation. Specifically, the proposed expansion
will project past the side-gabled wing detracting from the simple one-story
cottage ultimately reading as conjectural.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right
will be retained and preserved.
Standard 4 does not apply as the project will not remove any significant features
that were added over time.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features,
finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that

characterize the property will be preserved. The project does propose to remove
character-defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation.
However, the project proposes to restore/rebuild the front porch by providing
newly milled like-for-like wood materials, including columns, cornices, balusters.
Moreover, the rebuilt front porch would be clad in composition shingle, consistent
with the existing residence, and retain the original height. Lastly, the project does
propose to remove a portion of the rear structure to accommodate addition,
which is not readily visible from the public right-of-way.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new
feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible,
materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary
and physical evidence.
Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of
deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will
not be used.
Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical
treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such
resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
Standard 8 does not apply as there will be no ground disturbing activity.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy
historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the
property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible
with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to
protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
The project does not comply with Standard No. 9. The front porch expansion
along the front/primary elevation will alter historic features and/or spatial
relationships that characterize the property. Important spatial relationships
characterizing the Queen Anne architectural style will be disturbed, as the front
porch expansion alters the roofline along the primary elevation, overwhelms the
existing front elevation massing (side-gabled wing), and alter the historic
elevation.

10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in
such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of
the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered
generally reversible, as it does not remove essential aspects of the building’s
form and materials. Most of the proposed addition will be located in the rear of
the house, where it is not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and
avoids the most significant and character-defining features. The essential form of
the house and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired.
Thorough review of the request indicates that the project does not comply with The
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, analysis of the project
indicates that the proposed front porch expansion would be incompatible and inconsistent
with the existing architectural elements that reflect the original Queen Anne style
construction. Although most of the proposed scope of work is localized towards the rear of
the house, the front porch expansion significantly alters the historic and character-defining
features.
The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness
upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and
integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, meet the
Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government
agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification
application does not meet the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of
Appropriateness and should not be approved. It is also recommended that the applicant
work with staff on an alternative front elevation design that does meet the necessary
criteria to be award the Certificate of Appropriateness. Lastly, it is recommended that staff
approve the exact materials and finishes to be used after Commission approval and prior
to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The property's historical designation classifies it as a “historic resource” pursuant the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. In accordance with CEQA, a
project may have a significant effect on a historic resource if it causes a substantial
adverse change to the significance of the resource. However, CEQA further provides
that a project that has been designed in a manner that respects the historical character
of the building (i.e., it has been designed to conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards) can generally be considered to be a project that will not cause a significant
impact, and, therefore, may be exempt from CEQA. In this case, the proposed project
has not been designed to conform to the applicable Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards. A denial of the application, as recommended by staff, would not require any
further CEQA review.

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DENYING
THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 804 NORTH BAKER STREET
(HISTORIC EXTERIOR MODIFICATION APPLICATION NO.
2021-05)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby
finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Margaret M. Lang and Julie Hawkins, Co-Trustees of the Margaret M. Lang
Survivor’s Trust (“Applicant”), are requesting approval of Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2021-05 to allow exterior modifications to the
property at 804 North Baker Street, historically known as the Duhart House.
B. The legal owners of the property are Margaret M. Lang and Julie Hawkins.
C. The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit
A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
D. The Duhart House is individually listed as No. 49 on the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties and categorized as “Key” in 2001.
E. The Duhart House has distinctive architectural features of the Queen Anne
(Late Victorian) style architectural style and was built circa 1890. Character-
defining exterior features of the house, which should be preserved, include
but may not be limited to: roof configuration, porch treatment (columns,
brackets, and railing), siding and foundation skirting, and original doors and
windows.
F. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical
modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources
Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with
respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission
approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a
certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall
issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed
modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of
the historic property.
G. The proposed exterior modifications will include the demolition and rebuild
of the front entry porch. The porch would be extended approximately two
feet and eight-inches towards the front (east) elevation, past the existing

front elevation footprint, and would include like-for-like wood materials (e.g.,
columns, cornices, and balusters). The proposed scope of work also
includes a new 46-square-foot rear porch cover and a 161-square-foot
addition to accommodate the expansion of an existing bedroom (Bedroom
2), which will include two new closets and a new bathroom. The expansion
would also accommodate a new utility/pantry room, closet, and half bath,
towards the rear of the property.
H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic
Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 1, 2021
for the request for exterior modifications to the Duhart House.
I. Since the property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable:
i. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property
currently maintains its historic use as a single-family
residence. The use is not proposed to change. The interior
configuration will remain substantially the same with the
addition providing enhanced functionality.
ii. The project does not comply with Standard No. 2. The historic
character of the subject property will not be retained and
preserved. Instead, the project entails the removal and
alteration of specific character-defining architectural design
features of the structure, altering the overall historic fabric of
the property. The proposed porch expansion along the
front/primary elevation changes the historic appearance of the
structure from the street, creating a false sense of historical
development that deviates from the character-defining
features of the cross-gabled subtype of the Queen Anne (Late

proportion, changing the historic appearance of the structure
from the street and creating a false sense of historical
development along the primary elevation. Specifically, th e
proposed expansion will project past the side-gabled wing
detracting from the simple one-story cottage ultimately
reading as conjectural.

v. The project does not comply with Standard No. 9. The front
porch expansion along the front/primary elevation will alter
historic features and/or spatial relationships that characterize
the property. Important spatial relationships characterizing the
Queen Anne architectural style will be disturbed, as the front
porch expansion alters the roofline along the primary

of its historic materials will remain unimpaired.
vii. Standards 4 and 6-8 are not applicable. No features of this
description would be affected by this Project.
Section 2. The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after
conducting the public hearing, hereby denies the Certificate of Appropriateness for
Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2021-05. The Historic Resources
Commission finds that the proposed modifications substantially change the character and
integrity of the historic property. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at
the above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Staff Report and exhibits
attached thereto and the public testimony, all of which are incorporated herein by this

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Queen Anne (Late Victorian)
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last
20 years of the 19th century in the West, and was nearly as influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features include the
front-facing gable roof, ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end, avoidance of flat wall surfaces
through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal, and classical columns or pilasters. Multi-storied residential and
commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late
Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well developed examples can be found in
California and in the Southern states (McAlester, 263-268).

None.
DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This one-story cottage is a simplified example of the cross-gabled subtype of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) style, characterized by
a side-gabled wing bordered by a front porch and a projecting front-gabled wing. Porch detailing includes slender posts that divide
the space into two bays, elaborately carved brackets, and curvilinear balusters in the porch railing. A pent roof covers the space.
Three wooden steps lead up to the entry, which is distinguished by a lunette set over a paneled doorway within an elaborate surround.
A tall and narrow, two-over-two, double-hung sash window is centered within the porch; another is centered below the front gable.
Sheathed in shiplap siding, the building sits on a raised foundation covered with latticework. Building permits indicate the house has
been reroofed (possibly resulting in the elimination of eave detail), a new foundation constructed, and the porch restored.
Nonetheless, the design remains true to its late 19th century origins. The property also contains a one-story garage, sheathed in narrow
overlap siding and topped by a gabled roof that faces south onto Civic Drive; it was constructed after the period of significance in a
vernacular Craftsman style.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
According to Mrs. Luther J. Crowell (nee Henrietta Marie Duhart), who was interviewed in 1982 about her house at 804 North Baker
Street, her father, Bautista Duhart, purchased this house from Domingo Erramuspe, around 1902. Erramuspe was California born, the
son of immigrants from the Basses-Pyrenees region of France who took up sheep ranching in and around Santa Ana. Duhart was from
the same part of France and was also a sheep rancher. The four-acre parcel on which the house stood was bounded by Baker Street,
Hickey Street (later Eighth Street and now Civic Center West), and Bristol Street and was planted with walnuts, oranges, and lemons.
Bautista Duhart also owned a ranch on McClay Street, which he operated from the Baker Street property. Mrs. Crowell, who was two
years old when her family moved into the then approximately ten-year-old house, lived here for over ninety years. She was presented
with the Fall 1990 Historic Preservation Award by the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society in recognition of her efforts to
preserve the house.

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. 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 economic underpinnings of the young community were agricultural, and many residents owned or worked on the ranches that
encircled the incorporated area. The Duhart House is a remnant from this era, associated with a particular segment of the community,
which immigrated to the area from France and took up sheep ranching and farming in Southern California. The Duhart House is
historically significant as one of a handful of ranch houses remaining in an area that was once liberally dotted with them. It is also
notable for its extraordinarily long association with one family. Bautista Duhart came to California from France in 1878, initially
settling in San Juan Capistrano and purchasing his properties in Santa Ana around 1900 and 1902. His daughter, Henrietta Duhart
Crowell, was still living in the house in the 1990s. The house is also noteworthy as an example of a building type, the Queen Anne
(Late Victorian) influenced farmhouse. Character-defining exterior features of the house, which should be preserved, include but may
not be limited to: roof configuration, porch treatment (columns, brackets, and railing), siding and foundation skirting, and original
doors and windows.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies
the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural building period associated with a specific period of development and under
Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with a business or use that was once common and is now rare. The Duhart House has
been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Queen Anne (Late
Victorian) Style; because it is characteristic of a significant period in the history of Santa Ana, the agricultural era; and because it is
associated with a significant person in the City, in this case, the Duhart/Crowell family, long-time residents of Santa Ana (Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2). In addition, the property may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places if more research
into its association with Santa Ana’s agricultural past, specifically sheep husbandry, confirms its significance.
