Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 7, 2022
Topic: HRCA No. 2020-16, HRC 2020-12, HPPA No. 2020-21 – Mason-Heike House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2020-
16 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2020-12 (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 Joey Fermann and Rachel
LaVigne, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Joey Fermann and Rachel LaVigne are requesting approval to designate an existing
residence located at 1010 W. Santa Clara Avenue 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 Santa Clara Avenue in the West
Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,709-square-foot, Ranch style residence
and detached garage on a 7,600-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 structure is 67 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Mason-Heike House is architecturally significant as a simple but relatively intact
example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it
was built in 1955 by Chad Turner Construction Co. for approximately $17,000. The
house was first sold in 1956 to Robert E. and Marjorie Mason who lived on the property
until 1963. Robert Mason owned R.E. Mason Realty at 1017 N. Main Street
(alternatively 1206 N. Main Street). Robert and Marjorie Mason sold the property to
Homer W. and Ruth Ellen Packard who resided on the property until 1967. Homer and
Ruth first resided at 2014 Woodland Place in Santa Ana before purchasing 1010 W.
Santa Clara Avenue. Ralph E. and Gwendolyn Susan Webster purchased the property
in 1967 and resided on the property until 1975. According to City directories, the
property was sold to Ronald H. and Patricia Heike in 1975 who resided at the property
until 2020.
The house is a one-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited with a deep
setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located towards
the south end of the rear elevation of the residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house
exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a moderately pitched, cross-
gabled roof with a prominent front-facing gable. The exterior of the house is clad in a
combination of exterior materials including stucco, brick, wood overlap, and distinctive
board and batten siding. The entry porch is characterized by a partial width front porch
whose roof is supported by slender, paired posts. The entry also features an X-paneled
and partially glazed front door adjacent to a prominent, single-hung, multi-light window.
Occupying most of the façade east of the entry is a series of wood, multi-light windows,
centered within a wood overlap projection that wraps around the east elevation. Wood
multi-light windows also appear on the west and south elevations. A centralized, interior
brick chimney rises above the roofline. Alterations to the house include the removal of
two windows along the east elevation. 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.
Character-defining features of the Mason-Heike House include, but may not be limited
to: horizontal massing and composition; combination of exterior materials including

stucco, brick, wood overlap, and distinctive board and batten siding; X-paneled and
partially glazed front door; and multi-light windows.
The Mason-Heike House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as relatively intact example of a Ranch style tract house in
Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to
the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative 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
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.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-46 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,027.95 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

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

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 Mason-Heike House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
relatively intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive”
because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of Ranch
style architecture. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, the Mason-Heike House is a one-story single-family residence on a large parcel, sited with a deep
setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located towards the south end of the rear elevation of
the residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a moderately-
pitched, cross-gabled roof with a prominent front-facing gable. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of exterior
materials including stucco, brick, wood overlap, and distinctive board and batten siding. The entry porch is characterized by a
partial width front porch whose roof is supported by slender, paired posts. The entry also features an X-paneled and partially
glazed front door adjacent to a prominent, single-hung, multi-light window. Occupying most of the façade east of the entry is a
series of wood, multi-light windows, centered within a wood overlap projection that wraps around the east elevation. Wood
multi-light windows also appear on the west and south elevations. A centralized, interior brick chimney rises above the roofline.
Alterations to the house include the removal of two windows along the east elevation. 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 Mason-Heike House is architecturally significant as a simple but relatively intact example of a Ranch style tract house in
Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1955 by Chad Turner Construction Co. for approximately $17,000.
The house was first sold in 1956 to Robert E. and Marjorie Mason who lived on the property until 1963. Robert Mason owned
R.E. Mason Realty at 1017 N. Main Street (alternatively 1206 N. Main Street). Robert and Marjorie Mason sold the property to
Homer W. and Ruth Ellen Packard who resided on the property until 1967. Homer and Ruth first resided at 2014 Woodland
Place in Santa Ana before purchasing 1010 W. Santa Clara Avenue. Ralph E. and Gwendolyn Susan Webster purchased the
property in 1967 and resided on the property until 1975. According to City directories, the property was sold to Ronald H. and
Patricia Heike in 1975 who resided at the property until 2020. Ron was a fish salesman and a member of Citizens for a Better
Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Society of Neighbors.

*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.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Mason-Heike 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 Mason-Heike House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as relatively
intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it
contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of Ranch style architecture.
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Mason-Heike House include, but may not be
limited to: horizontal massing and composition; combination of exterior materials including stucco, brick, wood overlap, and
distinctive board and batten siding; X-paneled and partially glazed front door; and multi-light 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

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-8, HRC 2022-7, HPPA No. 2022-10 – H.C. Flint House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-8
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-7 (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 Janna Middel, subject to non-

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Janna Middel is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 1811
Greenleaf 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 east side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 1,225-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style
residence and detached garage on a 3,550-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 structure is 81 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The H.C. Flint House is significant as an intact example of the Minimal Traditional style
in Santa Ana. According to City permit records, it was built in 1941 by H.C. Flint for
$3,200. H.C. Flint resided on the property until 1950 before selling the home to R.L.
Templeton Jr., who briefly occupied the property. Little information is available regarding
occupancy of the residence from 1951-1965. Sometime during the mid-1960s Lee Dill
bought the property and resided there until mid-1970, when the property was sold to
Stephen L. Nickey, who lived there until the current property owner purchased the
property.
The H.C. Flint House is a single-story residence designed in the Minimal Traditional
style. The building has a mostly rectangular footprint and is clad horizontal wood siding.
The house features a low-pitched, hip-roof covered in composition shingles, with a
projecting wing along the primary (west) elevation. Focal points of this façade are a
prominent bay window and the entry, facing north from a projecting wing at the south
end of the façade. It consists of a non-original, wood slab, front door and flanking
sidelights and is topped by a shallow metal awning similar to the roof of the bay window.
Primary façade windows include double-hung, casement, and fixed wood-framed, multi-
light windows with wood trim detail. The rear (south) elevation contains additional
double-hung, wood-framed, multi-light windows while several double-hung wood-framed
windows are located throughout the north and east elevations. A secondary pedestrian
door is placed along the north elevation, which consists of a simple, half-light design,
and a prominent exterior brick chimney is located along the south elevation. Alterations
to the house include a small bathroom addition towards the rear (east) elevation. A
short driveway leads from Greenleaf towards a detached garage clad in horizontal
siding with hipped roof design. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house
appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with low vegetation
and shrubs. Character-defining features of the H.C. Flint House include, but may not be
limited to: its deliberate minimization of period architectural detailing; massing and
composition, consisting of a hip-roofed body and projecting wing; horizontal siding;
wood frame windows; and bay window.
The H.C. Flint House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to

the overall character and history” of Floral Park and is a 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.
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-43 will be filed for this project.

not less than ten years.

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

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

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

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 H.C. Flint House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal
Traditional architecture (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The H.C. Flint House is a single-story residence designed in the Minimal Traditional style. The building has a mostly
rectangular footprint and is clad horizontal wood siding. The house features a low-pitched, hip-roof covered in composition
shingles, with a projecting wing along the primary (west) elevation. Focal points of this façade are a prominent bay window
and the entry, facing north from a projecting wing at the south end of the façade. It consists of a non-original, wood slab, front
door and flanking sidelights and is topped by a shallow metal awning similar to the roof of the bay window. Primary façade
windows include double-hung, casement, and fixed wood-framed, multi-light windows with wood trim detail. The rear (south)
elevation contains additional double-hung, wood-framed, multi-light windows while several double-hung wood-framed
windows are located throughout the north and east elevations. A secondary pedestrian door is placed along the north
elevation, which consists of a simple, half-light design, and a prominent exterior brick chimney is located along the south
elevation. Alterations to the house include a small bathroom addition towards the rear (east) elevation. A short driveway leads
from Greenleaf towards a detached garage clad in horizontal siding with hipped roof design. Other than the relatively minor
noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and
shrubs.

The H.C. Flint House is significant as an intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. According to City permit
records, it was built in 1941 by H.C. Flint for $3,200. H.C. Flint resided on the property until 1950 before selling the home to
R.L. Templeton Jr., who briefly occupied the property. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence
from 1951-1965. Sometime during the mid-1960s Lee Dill bought the property and resided there until mid-1970, when the
property was sold to Stephen L. Nickey, who lived there until the current property owner purchased the property.

*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 H.C. Flint 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The H.C. Flint House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal
Traditional architecture (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the H.C. Flint House include, but
may not be limited to: its deliberate minimization of period architectural detailing; massing and composition, consisting of a
hip-roofed body and projecting wing; horizontal siding; wood frame windows; and bay window.

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

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park
neighborhood. The site contains a 2,527-square-foot, Monterrey Revival style residence
and detached garage on a 7,600-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 structure is 86 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House is architecturally significant as an intact and
characteristic example of the Monterey Revival architectural style in Santa Ana. The
property was built in 1936 by Jasper Farney, partner in the prominent Santa Ana
construction and development company of Honer, Herzig, and Farney. The home was
built for Dr. Mabel A. Geddes and her husband William Geddes, who resided on the
property with their three sons, David, John, and Francis. Dr. Mabel A. Geddes was a
supervisor of health for Orange County schools, Board member of the Young Women’s
Christian Association (YWCA) of Santa Ana, and a Chairperson of Orange County
Nutrition Committee. David Geddes went on to become a doctor and was a leading
Orange County psychiatrist for 50 years, and responsible for founding the Rush Center
for psychiatric care at St. Joseph Medical Center in Orange. Dr. Mabel A. Geddes and
her family resided on the property until mid- to late-1970s. According to City directories,
the property was occupied by Robert Bruce and Alice Sinclair. City directories show that
they resided on the property until 2010 before the property was transferred or bought by
Kimberly Sinclair. Kimberly Sinclair remained at the property until the current owner’s
purchased the property.
The Dr. Mable A. Geddes House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in a
Monterey Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a hipped roof body
with a hipped roof wing projecting in the north third of the (east) façade. Shallow eaves
characterize the second floor along the front (east) and side (south) elevations; exposed
rafter tails are mostly hidden by non-original gutters. The roof is covered in
contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of
brick and stucco exterior siding. The south two-thirds of the (east) façade features a
prominent partial width balcony cantilevered beneath the shelter of the main roof on
extended beams, with wood posts and wrought iron railing enclosing the balcony.
Exposed rafters punctuate the balcony roof. The front entry is defined by an open
veranda below the balcony with a set of multi-light casement windows and a flat-headed
entry door topped by three-light transom. The hipped roof wing projection along the east
façade has a decorative scalloped trim molding separating the first and second floor,
and multi-light casement windows flanked by wood shutters on the first and second
floor. The partial width balcony features a set of French doors and two fixed windows,

each flanked by a single wood shutter. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the
building incorporates a series of double-hung wood windows and multi-light casement
windows. The west (rear) elevation features a second story balcony while an exterior
brick chimney is attached to the side (north) elevation and rises above the roof ridgeline.
The property is landscaped with a mature tree, a lawn, and low vegetation at the front
setback. The driveway leads to a one-story, stucco-clad, one-car garage, built at the
same time as the residence. The house appears intact and has been maintained in
good condition. Character defining features of the Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House that
should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, massing and composition,
consisting of a hipped roof body with a hipped roof wing projecting in the north third of
the (east) facade; partial width balcony cantilevered beneath the shelter of the main roof
on extended beams from the south two-thirds of the façade; wood posts and wrought
iron railing enclosing the balcony; open veranda below the balcony; combination of brick
and stucco exterior siding; flat-headed entry topped by three-light transom; and
casement windows and French doors.
The Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Monterey Revival style in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to
the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of
Monterey Revival 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 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-44 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,559.25 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Monterey Revival
The Monterey is a free interpretation of the Anglo-influenced Spanish Colonial houses of northern California. These
blended Spanish adobe construction with pitched-roof, massed-plan English shapes brought to California from New
England. However, the key identifying feature of the Monterey – was derived from house forms built in the southeastern
United States, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas. The 1834 Larking House in Monterey, California, is generally identified
as the first of this distinctive form of early pitched-roof Spanish Colonial houses. Thomas Oliver Larkin, the owner-
designer of it, had traveled in South Carolina and Bermuda, where similar houses were found. California architect Roland
E. Coate, Sr., played a crucial role in reviving the style. Between 1929 and 1932 he wrote about the early Monterey
homes, designed at least two homes in the Monterey, and won a prestigious Better Homes in American Awards for an
elegant Santa Barbara example. His efforts helped bring the style to the attention of both professionals and the public.
Some early examples from 1925 to 1940 have Spanish detailing, while those from the 1940s and 1950s generally include
only English Colonial details. A third, less common, variation was sometimes called Creole French; these had decorative
iron balconies inspired by the upper-level balconies found in the Vieux Carré in New Orleans. Though scattered examples
of Monterey houses occur throughout the country in suburbs built during the second quarter of the 20th Century, they are
perhaps most common in California and Texas. (McAlester, pp. 539-540).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
an example of the Monterey Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of Monterey
Revival architecture (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Floral Park, this is a two-story single-family residence constructed in a Monterey Revival style. Asymmetrical in
design, the house exhibits a hipped roof body with a hipped roof wing projecting in the north third of the (east) façade.
Shallow eaves characterize the second floor along the front (east) and side (south) elevations; exposed rafter tails are mostly
hidden by non-original gutters. The roof is covered in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in
a combination of brick and stucco exterior siding. The south two-thirds of the (east) façade features a prominent partial width
balcony cantilevered beneath the shelter of the main roof on extended beams, with wood posts and wrought iron railing
enclosing the balcony. Exposed rafters punctuate the balcony roof. The front entry is defined by an open veranda below the
balcony with a set of multi-light casement windows and a flat-headed entry door topped by three-light transom. The hipped
roof wing projection along the east façade has a decorative scalloped trim molding separating the first and second floor, and
multi-light casement windows flanked by wood shutters on the first and second floor. The partial width balcony features a set
of french doors and two fixed windows, each flanked by a single wood shutter. Along the north, south, and west elevations,
the building incorporates a series of double-hung wood windows and multi-light casement windows. The west (rear) elevation
features a second story balcony while an exterior brick chimney is attached to the side (north) elevation and rises above the
roof ridgeline. The property is landscaped with a mature tree, a lawn, and low vegetation at the front setback. The driveway
leads to a one-story, stucco-clad, one-car garage, built at the same time as the residence. The house appears intact and is in
good condition.

Santa Ana construction and development company of Honer, Herzig, and Farney. The home was built for Dr. Mabel A.
Geddes and her husband William Geddes, who resided on the property with their three sons, David, John, and Francis. Dr.
Mabel A. Geddes was a supervisor of health for Orange County schools, Board member of the Young Women’s Christian
Association (YWCA) of Santa Ana, and a Chairperson of Orange County Nutrition Committee. David Geddes went on to
become a doctor and was a leading Orange County psychiatrist for 50 years, and responsible for founding the Rush Center
for psychiatric care at St. Joseph Medical Center in Orange. Dr. Mabel A. Geddes and her family resided on the property until
mid- to late-1970s. According to City directories, the property was occupied by Robert Bruce and Alice Sinclair. City
directories show that they resided on the property until 2010 before the property was transferred or bought by Kimberly
Sinclair. Kimberly Sinclair remained at the property until the current owner’s purchased the property.

*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 Dr. Mabel A. Geddes 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 (2022) Floral Park maintains
its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
an example of the Monterey Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive”
because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of Monterey
Revival architecture. Character defining features of the Dr. Mabel A. Geddes House that should be preserved include, but
may not be limited to, massing and composition, consisting of a hipped roof body with a hipped roof wing projecting in the
north third of the (east) facade; partial width balcony cantilevered beneath the shelter of the main roof on extended beams
from the south two-thirds of the façade; wood posts and wrought iron railing enclosing the balcony; open veranda below the
balcony; combination of brick and stucco exterior siding; flat-headed entry topped by three-light transom; and casement
windows and french doors.

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.

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-13, HRC 2022-6, HPPA No. 2022-3 – Gibbs-Wasley House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-
13 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-6 (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 Catherine
Mayberry, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Benjamin and Catherine Mayberry are requesting approval to designate an existing
residence located at 2405 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 northwest corner Benton Way and Bonnie Brae,
in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 3,784-square-foot, Tudor Revival
style residence and detached garage on a 15,700-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 structure is 94 years old and is a good example
of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Gibbs-Wasley House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the
Tudor Revival architectural style in Santa Ana. It was built in 1928 for $15,000.
According to City directories, the first owners were William Isbell Gibbs and his wife
Jessamyne Gibbs. They lived in the home for 16 years from 1929 to 1945. Mr. Gibbs
was a partner at Gibbs and Scott Auto Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in
downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were enthusiastic participants in the Santa Ana social
scene in the 1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local
women’s organizations. The home was sold in 1947 to rancher Glenne E. Mathis and
his wife Charlotte, who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954, the home was sold to
Dr. William L. Wasley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post-
graduate degrees and was a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In
1962 the home was occupied by local realtor George Frazier and his wife Vernelle
Frazier.
The Gibbs-Wasley House is a two-story single-family residential building constructed in
the Tudor Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched
complex gable roof covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior of the building
is clad a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls. Notable detailing includes
multiple roof pitches with 12:12 pitched roofs on dominant gables, multiple overlapping
gables, and varied eave heights. In addition, the home features a mixture of shed and
dormer gables; a double gable at west side façade; exposed, rounded and notched
rafter tails and bargeboards in the shallow eaves; and arched gable vents. The primary
front elevation is defined by a dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable and a
prominent, barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-paneled,
front door with plaster quoins in arched entry recess. The brick wainscot along the entire
south façade, and along a portion of the east façade are not original, nor is the brick
cladding of the entry porch or the front pathway. Although not original, the brick waiscot
is compatible with the Tudor Revival style. The home features multiple tall, attached
brick chimneys rising above the roofline. Multi-light casement windows clustered in
pairs, triples, and larger groups can be found along the first and second floor of the
primary (south) elevation while fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of
double-hung windows with plaster sills. Substantially intact, the house is currently being

expanded. The additions are appropriately located on the north (rear) and northwest
elevations and in the basement of the house and on the west elevation of the garage.
New construction, including a swimming pool and pool pavilion, will be placed in the
northwest interior section of the property and will not be visible. The property is simply
landscaped with a mature trees, lawn, low vegetation and brick-paved entry, stairs, and
pathways. The driveway is located along the east elevation and leads to the detached,
two-car garage, also clad in stucco. Character-defining features of the house include,
but are not limited to: asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply pitched,
complex gable roof; a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls; and multiple tall,
brick attached chimneys.
The Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a distinctive
architectural style and quality as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana.
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-45 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,042.18 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in Floral Park, the Gibbs-Wasley House is a two-story single-family residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival
style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched complex gable roof covered in composition shingle roofing.
The exterior of the building is clad a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls. Notable detailing includes multiple roof
pitches with 12:12 pitched roofs on dominant gables, multiple overlapping gables, and varied eave heights. In addition, the
home features a mixture of shed and dormer gables; a double gable at west side façade; exposed, rounded and notched rafter
tails and bargeboards in the shallow eaves; and arched gable vents. The primary front elevation is defined by a dramatic
bellcast to one rake of the front gable and a prominent, barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-
paneled, front door with plaster quoins in arched entry recess. The brick wainscot along the entire south façade, and along a
portion of the east façade are not original, nor is the brick cladding of the entry porch or the front pathway. Although not original,
the brick waiscot is compatible with the Tudor Revival style. The home features multiple tall, attached brick chimneys rising
above the roofline. Multi-light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups can be found along the first and
second floor of the primary (south) elevation while fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of double-hung windows
with plaster sills. Substantially intact, the house is currently being expanded. The additions are appropriately located on the
north (rear) and northwest elevations and in the basement of the house and on the west elevation of the garage. New
construction, including a swimming pool and pool pavilion, will be placed in the northwest interior section of the property and
will not be visible. The property is simply landscaped with a mature trees, lawn, low vegetation and brick-paved entry, stairs,
and pathways. The driveway is located along the east elevation and leads to the detached, two-car garage, also clad in stucco.

The Gibbs-Wasley House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival architectural style in
Santa Ana. It was built in 1928 for $15,000. According to City directories, the first owners were William Isbell Gibbs and his wife
Jessamyne Gibbs. They lived in the home for 16 years from 1929 to 1945. Mr. Gibbs was a partner at Gibbs and Scott Auto
Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were enthusiastic participants in the Santa Ana
social scene in the 1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local women’s organizations. The
home was sold in 1947 to rancher Glenne E. Mathis and his wife Charlotte, who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954 the
home was sold to Dr. William L. Wasley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post-graduate degrees and was
a research chemist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He had joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Western Regional
Research Laboratory in 1957, researching fiber and polymer chemistry. In 1962 the home was occupied by local realtor George
Frazier and his wife Vernelle Frazier. After 1962 the home was occupied by several owners, in recent years it was owned by
Marcia Cruchley who sadly passed away, and the home is now in the care of new owners.

*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 Gibbs-Wasley 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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, homes in the neighborhood were mostly
developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today
(2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and
prominent citizens.
The Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a distinctive
architectural style and quality as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2). Character-defining features of the house include, but are not limited to: asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply
pitched, complex gable roof; a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls; and multiple tall, brick attached chimneys. Notable
detailing includes the dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable; exposed, rounded and notched rafter tails and
bargeboards in the shallow eaves; a barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-paneled, front door; brick
dado reaching to first floor sill level; gabled dormers; multi-light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups;
and brick-paved entry, stairs, and pathways.

Repair in the rear of 726 S. Main Street in Downtown Santa Ana. The Gibbs were prolific in the Santa Ana social scene in the
1930s and entertained in the home often. Mrs. Gibbs was involved in local women’s organizations. The home was sold in 1947
to rancher Glenne E. Mathis and his wife Charlotte who lived in the home for a short time. In 1954 the home was sold to Dr.
William L. Wasley and his wife Ruth. William had several advanced and post-graduate degrees and was a research chemist
for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 1957, Bill joined the US Department of Agriculture, Western Regional Research
Laboratory. His research included fiber and polymer chemistry. In 1962 the home was occupied by George and Vernelle Frazier,
George was a local realtor. After 1962 the home was occupied by several owners, in recent years it was owned by Marcia
Cruchley who sadly passed away and the home is now in the care of new owners.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Gibbs-Wasley 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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, homes in the neighborhood were mostly
developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today
(2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and
prominent citizens.
The Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Key” because it has a distinctive
architectural style and quality as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2). Character-defining features of the house include, but are not limited to:asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply
pitched, complex gable roof; a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls, and multiple tall, brick attached chimneys. Notable
detailing includes the dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable; exposed, rounded and notched rafter tails and
bargeboards in the shallow eaves; brick entry surround featuring common bond with every fourth course raised; a barrel vaulted
entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood-paneled, front door; brick dado reaching to first floor sill level; gabled
dormers; multi-light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups; and brick-paved entry, stairs, and
pathways.

Topic: HEMA No. 2022-04 – The Burkett House (2311 N. Santiago Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2022-04.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Michelle Helvig is requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA)
No. 2022-04 to allow exterior modifications consisting of reconfiguration of the east (rear)
elevation to include three new double-hung windows and two new French doors, interior
remodel, and the removal of a window from the south elevation, for the Burkett House
located at 2311 N. Santiago Street. The property was listed as “Contributive” in 2021.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of Santiago Street in the Park Santiago
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 site
contains a one and a half-story 2,240-square-foot, Tudor Revival style residence and
detached garage on a 6,500-square-foot residential lot. The property is known as the
Burkett House and is individually listed as No. 718 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2021 and was categorized as
“Contributive.”
The Burkett House is of interest as it is influenced by an unusual example of Tudor Revival
featuring clapboard siding. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a front-facing gable
with wing roof design of high pitch, with roof eaves of little to no overhang, clad in
composition shingle roofing. The prominent front-facing gable is located along the north
side and features a massive brick chimney with two chimney pots, extending past the
roofline. The entryway is characterized by a non-original full-light wood front door,
accessed via a brick front porch walkway. Fenestration consists of multi-paned casement

windows used on the primary elevation framed with shutters, while four-over-four double-
hung windows are used along the north, south, and east elevations. Along the primary
elevation, the second floor features a wide shed dormer with four multi-paned casement
windows, also framed by shutters. The driveway is located along the south elevation and
leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, also clad in clapboard siding.
Character-defining features of the house include the one and a half-story massing, high
pitched and side gabled roof; massive chimney; dormers; clapboard siding; roof eaves
with little to no overhang; and multi-paned, casement windows framed with shutters.
Project Description
The proposed exterior modifications will not include any new square footage but would
include the removal of three double-hung, multi-light windows and a fixed window, a
single entry door, and an existing pair of French doors along the rear (east) elevation.
The rear elevation will be reconfigured to include three new double-hung windows,
flanked by two new sets of French doors. In addition, an existing window will be removed
along the south elevation and be replaced with a repurposed window removed from the
rear elevation. Lastly, the applicant is proposing an 420-square-foot first floor kitchen and
laundry remodel to include the removal of one existing bedroom.
All new windows and French doors are proposed to be wood and dual glazed and woud
match the existing, including the wood trim. Moreover, the replacement siding will match
the existing wood siding. The proposed alterations 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.
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,
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 alterations are designed to
remove as little historic material as possible, and will be located towards the rear
of the structure. In addition, an existing wood window along the rear elevation will
be retained and repurposed along the south elevation. The proposed alterations
are not visible from the street and are designed to be compatible and feature
similar wood windows, trim, and wood siding. The proposed exterior alterations will
not alter the primary west (front) 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 alterations would not
include any new square footage. Instead, the alterations would include the
reconfiguration of the rear elevation. The alterations are designed to be compatible
with the existing single-family residence and the distinctive architectural features
of the Tudor Revival style. Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as
complementary, not 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 not propose to remove character-
defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation. The proposed
alterations are designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and will
be located towards the rear of the structure.

Moreover, an existing wood window along the rear elevation will be preserved and
repurposed along the south elevation. The proposed alterations will not be 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 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 exterior alterations will not destroy
historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property.
The proposed alterations are located at the rear in an area that is not easily visible
from the public right-of-way. Important spatial relationships characterizing the
Tudor Revival architectural style will not be disturbed, as the alterations are
positioned to the rear of the existing house, and will not alter the existing roofline
or massing. 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 alterations are
considered generally reversible as they do not remove essential aspects of the
building’s form and materials. The proposed alterations will be located at 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.
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
alterations would be compatible and consistent with the existing architectural elements that
reflect the original Tudor Revival style construction while being mindful not to disturb the
historic materials that characterize the property. By localizing the scope of work towards the
rear 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
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 meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and
should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and
finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in
the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small
scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Burkett House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact and
representative example of a Tudor Revival style home. The house is also of interest as it is a unusual example of Tudor
Revival featuring clapboard siding. The Burkett House has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the
overall character and history” of the Park Santiago neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing
the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Park Santiago, the Burkett House is a one and a half-story single-family residential building constructed in the Tudor
Revival style. The house is of interest as it is influenced by an unusual example of Tudor Revival featuring clapboard siding.
Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a front-facing gable with wing roof design of high pitch, with roof eaves of little to no
overhang, clad in composition shingle roofing. The prominent front-facing gable is located along the north side and features a
massive brick chimney with two chimney pots, extending past the roofline. The entryway is characterized by a non-original full-
light wood front door, accessed via a brick front porch walkway. Fenestration consists of multi-paned casement windows used
on the primary elevation framed with shutters, while four-over-four double-hung windows are used along the north, south, and
east elevations. Along the primary elevation, the second floor features a wide shed dormer with four multi-paned casement
windows, also framed by shutters. The property is simply landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and curved brick walkway
through the front setback. The driveway is located along the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car
garage, also clad in clapboard siding. Other than the noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition.

The Burkett House is architecturally significant as a unusual example of the Tudor Revival style. This house was originally
constructed in 1926, and was valued at approximately $7,000 according to the original building permit. Constructed by Santora
Land Company., the house remained under its original ownership for nearly three decades. The first recorded owners and
occupants were Frederick A. Burkett, who went by “F.A. Burkett”, and Mabel Lillian Burkett. Mr. Burkett was involved in oil and
was superintendent of various oil companies near Huntington Beach, CA. Mrs. Burkett was very active in Santa Ana women’s
organizations such as Ebell and hosted “section events” in the home. The home was featured in the Santa Ana Register on
Thursday June 2, 1927, “as an attractive home of Santa Ana.” The Burkett’s children, Fred Jr. Eleanor, Sarah Jane and JoAnn
were socially and academically active and attended Southern California universities. The Burkett’s filed homestead on the
property in 1958 and the home remained in the family for several years after the deaths of Fred Sr. and Mabel. Since then, the
Burkett House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowner purchased the home in 2021.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Burkett House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park
on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the
I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the
end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran
up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way
mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue,
the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on
Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr., 321
East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor
(E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942,
when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-family
homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the
neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War
II.
The Burkett House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact and
representative example of a Tudor Revival style home. The house displays characteristics of the Tudor Revival through its
high pitched multi gabled roof, shallow eaves, asymmetrical massing, multi-paned windows and prominent brick chimney. The
house is also of interest as it is a unusual example of Tudor Revival featuring clapboard siding. The Burkett House has been
categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Santiago Park neighborhood
and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the house include the one and a half-story massing, high pitched and side
gabled roof; massive chimney; dormers; clapboard siding; roof eaves with little to no overhang; and multi-paned, casement
windows framed with shutters.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving a Certificate of Appropriateness for Historic Exterior
Modification Application No. 2022-05.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Brian and Denise Byrd are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application
(HEMA) No. 2022-05 to allow exterior modifications consisting of a first floor addition of
approximately 225 sq. ft., first floor remodel, and a second floor addition of approximately
188 sq. ft., for the Miller House located at 1809 N. Heliotrope Drive. The property was listed
as “Contributive” in 2009.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the east side of Heliotrope Drive 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 site
contains a two-story 2,616-square-foot residence and detached garage on a 12,100-
square-foot residential lot, with transitional styling, combining aspects of the Moderne
style (Art Moderne variant) and the Colonial Revival (Regency Variant). The property is
known as the Miller House and is individually listed as No. 539 on the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2009 and was
categorized as “Contributive.”
The Miller House combines elements of the Art Moderne variant of the Moderne style and
the Regency Variant of the Colonial Revival style. The house is capped by a hipped roof
with a low pitch, which makes the hip nearly imperceptible from the sidewalk, and no
overhanging eaves. An asymmetrical but balanced design characterizes the residence,
which is rectangular in plan. The design composition emphasizes the horizontal, with a
band of molding marking the division between the first and second stories. Resting on the

molding, an iron balconet forming an abstract geometric pattern extends across the
façade. Centered above the balconet, applied iron scrollwork and a tripartite stained-glass
window with wood frames add decorative accent to the second story. Another horizontal
accent is provided by a stringcourse that forms a continuous header for the second-story
windows.
Above, an identical cornice terminates the roofline. Second-story windows consist of a
pair of six-over-six, wood-framed double-hung sashes and French doors opening onto
the balconet. First-story fenestration follows this pattern, with six-over-six, wood-framed
double-hung sashes, two of which are located on the south half of the façade, and four
grouped on the square bay on the north portion of the facade. Located in the central bay
of the three-bay façade, the principal entry consists of a wood paneled door that is
elevated on two steps and recessed beneath the balconet. Extending above the south
elevation, an attached, stucco-clad chimney rises above the roofline.
Project Description
The proposed exterior modifications along the first floor include the partial demolition of
a rear wall (adjacent to the existing kitchen) and the demolition of a “bump out”/extension,
approximatley 100 square feet in size. Along the second floor, the exterior work would
include partial demolition of a rear wall and bay window. The proposed demolition will
accommodate a first floor addition of approximately 225 square feet, first floor remodel,
and a second floor addition of approximately 188 square feet to accommodate a new
bathroom, closet, and new second story rear balcony.
The first floor addition would extend approximately nine feet towards the rear (east) of the
property and be approximately 24 feet wide. The addition/remodeled first floor would
include the kitchen and breakfast nook expansion, with a set of new French doors leading
towards rear yard and two multi-light double-hung windows, along the east (rear) and
south elevations. The second floor addition would also extend approximately nine feet
towards the rear but would include a second story deck approximately 38 square feet in
size, towards the northeast corner of the residence. The second story addition would also
include multi-light double-hung windows along the east (rear) and south elevations.
The proposed addition is designed with a built-up/flat roof with gutter and would not
exceed the existing height of the two-story residence. The addition would include new
exterior stucco and wood fascia board to match the style, color and texture of the existing
residence. All new windows and French doors are proposed to be wood and dual glazed
and would match the existing, including the wood trim. The proposed alterations 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.

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,
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 first and second story
addition has been designed to remove as little historic material as possible, and
will be located on a secondary non-character defining façade, toward the rear of
the structure, where it will not be generally visible from the public right-of-way. The
proposed exterior alterations will not alter the primary west (front) 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 first and second floor
addition will read as contemporary in comparison to the existing single-family
residence which incorporates distinctive architectural features of the Moderne style
and Colonial Revival style. The addition will have a matching roof to the existing
house and is designed to be compatible with the existing scale and massing of the
residence. Moreover, the addition would be distinguished by the slightly varied
fenestration, French doors and varied balcony railings on the rear second story

balcony. 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.
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 not propose to remove character-
defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation. The project
proposes to remove two walls, including existing fenestration, and a “bump
out”/extension along the east (rear) elevation, which are 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 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 first and second floor addition
will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that
characterize the property. The proposed addition is located at the rear in an area
that is not easily visible from the public right-of-way. Important spatial relationships
characterizing the Moderne and Colonial Revival architectural style will not be
disturbed, as the additions are positioned to the rear of the existing house, and will
not alter the existing roofline. These features allow the addition to appear
subordinate to, and not overwhelm the existing massing, while also preserving the
historic sense of the existing roofline. 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 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.
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
first and second floor addition would be compatible and consistent with the existing
architectural elements that reflect the original Moderne and Colonial Revival architectural
style construction while being mindful not to disturb the historic materials that characterize
the property. By localizing the scope of work towards the rear 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
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 meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and

A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.
D. The Miller House is individually listed as No. 539 on the Santa Ana Register
of Historical Properties and categorized as “Contributive” in 2009.
E. The Miller House was built in 1935 and is architecturally significant for its
transitional styling, combining aspects of the Moderne style (Art Moderne
variant) and the Colonial Revival (Regency V ariant). Character-defining
exterior features of the Miller House that should be preserved include, but
may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco and metal); roof
configuration and detailing; original windows where extant; chimney;
architectural details such as horizontal banding and moldings; stained-glass
windows and applied iron scrollwork; and the squared bay projections.
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 along the first floor include the partial
demolition of a rear wall (adjacent to the existing kitchen) and the demolition
of a “bump out”/extension, approximately 100 square feet in size. Along the
second floor, the exterior work would include partial demolition of a rear wall
and bay window. The proposed demolition will accommodate a firs t floor
addition of approximately 225 square feet, first floor remodel, and a second
floor addition of approximately 188 square feet to accommodate a new
bathroom, closet, and new second story rear balcony.
H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30 -6, the Historic
Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on July 7, 2022,
for the request for exterior modifications to the Miller House.
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 first and second story addition has
been designed to remove as little historic material as possible,
and will be located on a secondary non-character defining
façade, toward the rear of the structure, where it will not be
generally visible from the public right-of-way. The proposed
exterior alterations will not alter the primary west (front)
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 first and second floor addition will
read as contemporary in comparison to the existing single-
family residence which incorporates distinctive architectural
features of the Moderne style and Colonial Revival style. The
addition will have a matching roof to the existing house and is
designed to be compatible with the existing scale and
massing of the residence. Moreover, the addition would be
distinguished by the slightly varied fenestration, French doors
and varied balcony railings on the rear second story balcony.
Therefore, the architectural treatment will read as
contemporary, not conjectural.

iv. 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 proposes to remove two walls,
including existing fenestration, and a “bump out”/extension
along the east (rear) elevation, which are not readily visible
from the public right-of-way.
v. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new first and
second floor addition will not destroy historic materials,
features, or spatial relationships that characterize the
property. The proposed addition is located at the rear in an
area that is not easily visible from the public right-of-way.
Important spatial relationships characterizing the Moderne
and Colonial Revival architectural style will not be disturbed,
as the additions are positioned to the rear of the existing
house, and will not alter the existing roofline. These features
allow the addition to appear subordinate to, and not
overwhelm the existing massing, while also preserving the
historic sense of the existing roofline. The materials of the new
addition will also be compatible with the existing historic
materials, through the use of similar materials.
vi. 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 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.
vii. Standards 4 and 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. 2022-48 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. 2022-05, as conditioned in Exhibit B,
attached hereto and incorporated herein. 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

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Moderne/Art Moderne
The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamlined Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the
Art Deco style, the Streamlined Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World
War II in a simplified version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Deco designs, the Streamlined Moderne
emphasized the horizontal, through bands of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal lines, railings, flat
canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the roofline. Other characteristics include smooth wall surfaces,
usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block windows; rounded corners, porthole windows, and asymmetry.
Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a signature of the style. In common
with the Streamlined Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in emphasis, but tended to be more
clean-lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined counterparts. Art Moderne designs can be
recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal casement windows that often meet at the
corners of the building.
Colonial Revival (Regency Variant)
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876
Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing
upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and
designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-
gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often
included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and
entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not
uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian
windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors.
Popular in the 1930s, the Regency Variant of the Colonial Revival style draws on English rather than American
precedents. The Regency Variant often displays a simplified entry and door surround, framed within a metal entry porch
with a canopy roof. Simpler in its ornamental program than the Colonial Revival, the Regency Variant also incorporates
features such as octagonal windows and metal balconettes formed of simple geometric patterns. (McAlester, 320-326;
331-332).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
Historic Resources Commission 6 –19 7/7/2022
The Miller House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of both the Moderne style (Art Moderne variant) and the Colonial
Revival style (Regency Variant). Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to
the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the combination of the Art Moderne variant
of the Moderne style and the Colonial Revival style (Regency Variant) in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example
of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Sheathed in smooth stucco, this two-story residence combines elements of the Art Moderne variant of the Moderne style and
the Regency Variant of the Colonial Revival style. The residence is capped by a hipped roof with a low pitch (which makes
the hip nearly imperceptible from the sidewalk) and no overhanging eaves. An asymmetrical but balanced design
characterizes the residence, which is rectangular in plan. The design composition emphasizes the horizontal, with a band of
reeded molding marking the division between the first and second stories. Resting on the molding, an iron balconet forming
an abstract geometric pattern extends across the façade. Centered above the balconet, applied iron scroll work and a
tripartite stained-glass window with wood frames add decorative accent to the second story. Another horizontal accent is
provided by a string course that forms a continuous header for the second-story windows. Above, an identical cornice
terminates the roof line. Second-story windows consist of a pair of six-over-six, wood-framed double-hung sashes and
French doors opening onto the balconet. First-story fenestration follows this pattern, with six-over-six, wood-framed double-
hung sashes, two of which are located on the south half of the façade, and four grouped on the square bay on the north
portion of the facade. Located in the central bay of the three-bay façade, the principal entry consists of a wood paneled door,
elevated on two steps and recessed beneath the balconet. Extending above the south elevation, an attached, stucco-clad
chimney rises above the roof line. Alterations include the addition of an attached garage, capped with a trellis, on the north
portion of the façade, as well as a breakfast room on the south elevation. Otherwise highly intact, the residence is in
excellent repair and is enhanced through mature landscaping.

The Miller House is architecturally significant for its transitional styling, combining aspects of the Moderne style (Art Moderne
variant) and the Colonial Revival (Regency Variant). According to the original building permit, dated November 19, 1935, the
residence and garage were constructed for Herbert L. Miller and his wife Doris by noted Floral Park developer Alison C. Honer
at a cost of $8,500. A native of Texas, Miller moved to Santa Ana by way of San Francisco in circa 1921. By 1936, he had
founded Herbert L. Miller, Incorporated, Orange County’s distributor for Willard Batteries and Diamond Tires. Miller and his
wife, who by 1956 served as vice president of the company over which her husband presided, owned and occupied 1809
North Heliotrope Drive until at least 1965.

*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 Miller 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; Floral
Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 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 (2007), Floral Park maintains
its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Miller House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification
of the distinguishing characteristics of both the Moderne style (Art Moderne variant) and the Colonial Revival style (Regency
Variant). Typical features of the Art Moderne style illustrated by the house include its asymmetrical but balanced
composition; iron balconet with metal balustrade, arranged in a geometric pattern; decorative horizontal reeding uniting the
bays of the façade; smooth stucco finish; pairs of windows grouped at building corners; and emphasis on the horizontal.
These features are combined with Colonial Revival (Regency Revival) elements, including the building massing, use of an
iron balconet forming abstract geometric pattern; wood-framed, double-hung sash windows; and iron scroll work.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of
Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of the combination of the Art Moderne variant of the Moderne style and the Colonial
Revival style (Regency Variant) in the Floral Park neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” Character-
defining exterior features of the Miller House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and
finishes (stucco and metal); roof configuration and detailing; original windows where extant; chimney; and architectural details
such as horizontal banding and moldings; stained-glass windows and applied iron scrollwork; and the squared bay
projections.
