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

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 LeRoy Quick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a very
intact and highly individual example of the late Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana, keynoted by partial stone construction.
The recommended categorization is "Landmark" because it has unique architectural significance as an example of the
post -World War II Tudor Revival style with a partial stone construction in Floral Park and Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal
Code, Section 30-2.2).

The LeRoy Quick House is architecturally significant as a highly intact and distinctive example of the late Tudor Revival style.
This house was constructed in 1950 by builder Howard Renshaw and valued at $23,000 according to the original building
permit. Notable for the masonry construction that expresses the Tudor Revival design, it is just one of two homes in the Floral
Park neighborhood that is constructed with fieldstone at its primary facade and one of a limited number of stone buildings in
Santa Ana. The first owner of the subject property was LeRoy Quick, who developed the property and owned and occupied it
until at least 1979. Archival research did not uncover additional information regarding Mr. Quick or later occupants of the
home.

'P3a. Description (continued):
The prominent stone chimney at the south elevation features the characteristic Tudor Revival height and extends to the
exterior foundation; walls to either side are also of stone construction. A covered patio extends outward from the rear (west)
facade. Other notable features include wooden vents at gable ends, awnings, and wood shutters. The property is landscaped
with a mature tree, a lawn, manicured low shrubs, and a curved, brick -paved walkway that leads from the driveway to the
main entrance, also brick -paved. A driveway parallels the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two -car
garage, which is setback behind a wood double gate. The stucco -covered garage is capped by a hipped roof clad in
composition shingles. The garage's north facade features two pedestrian doors situated below shingle -clad shed roof hoods.
Its windows match those on the main residence, with a single steel -framed casement window on the north facade and two
steel -frame multi -paned casement and fixed windows on the rear (west) elevation. A low wall'made of the same fieldstone as
the residence is just north of the garage in the backyard. Minor alterations to the property include a small area of glass block
wall on a side elevation.
•B10. Significance (continued):
The LeRoy Quick 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, 1961). 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 ll, 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 confinued 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 LeRoy Quick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a very
intact and highly individual example of the late Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana, keynoted by partial stone construction. The
recommended categorization is "Landmark" because it has unique architectural significance as an example of the post -World
War 11 Tudor Revival style with partial stone construction in Floral Pads and Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section
30-2.2). In addition to the partial stone construction, the house also showcases the asymmetrical massing, vertical emphasis
of roof and chimney, and storybook quality of fenestration that typify the Tudor Revival. Character -defining features of the
house include its steeply pitched, cross -gabled and hipped roof; minimal overhanging eaves; a prominent front -gabled entry
bay, fieldstone walls which extend along the entire primary (east) facade of the building to either side of the chimney on the
south elevation; stucco, lapboard, and vertical siding; a prominent stone chimney, fenestration that includes, multi -paned and
diamond -paned, casement and picture windows with steel frames; a recessed primary entrance; vents at gable ends, shed
roofs over secondary entries wood shutters; and a fieldstone wall in the backyard.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
