ADDRESS 947 West Buffalo Avenue CITY Santa Ana ZIP 1 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1957 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT WA NEIGHBORHOOD West Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West's vernacular housing traditions by combining the forth and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modemist'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 fiat 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 comer 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 Grover Collins House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as highly intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Ranch style (Santa'Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Also address integrity) The Grover Collins House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana, owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. According to City building records, it was built in 1957 for approximately $17,000. According to City directories, by 1960, the house was sold to Grover G Collins, who lived on the property until circa 1975 (when records discontinued listing the homeowner). City directory records indicate that Donald McNealy owned the home in 2000, and in 2008 if was owned by Dexter Whitfield. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) 011.

Fenestration along the rear fagade includes two large wood -frame multi -lice fixed windows flanked by single or double -hung wood windows, and an aluminum -frame sliding glass door window that is situated within a rear covered patio. An interior brick chimney rises above the roofline near the building's west fagade. A detached garage is located at the northwest comer of the parcel (Rgure 7). The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation, a brick -clad pathway located in the middle of the front yard that leads to the entrance, and a long driveway that leads towards the rear, detached garage. `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 Grover Collins 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 Grover Collins House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a speculatively built Ranch Style house by prolific developer Roy Russell from the mid-1950s. The recommended categorization is Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Grover Collins House include, but may not be limited to: horizontal massing; low-pitched complex hipped roof clad in wood shingles; broad, overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails; combination of exterior materials including stucco, brick, wood lap, and distinctive board and batten siding; front porch entry characterized by a low brick wall and single wood post; X-paneled and partially glazed front door, multi-lite windows with original wood shutters that have scalloped wood detailing; distinctive steel -frame, multi-lite casement window at the southwest comer with architectural brackets below; steel -frame, multi-lite casement windows and wood windows consisting of the single -hung variety and multi -!de fixed windows.
