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).

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 save 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. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and a mature tree and features a walkway paved in herringbone brick leading to the front entry. *P3b.

Also address integrity) 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. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) 1311.

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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. in the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War 11 years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. in the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (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). *B12.

DPR 523L MILLS ACTAGREEMENT 2311 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 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 MILLS ACTACREEMENT 2311 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 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. 2-
