ADDRESS 2311 North Benton Way CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1960 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mid-Century Modern Editor of Arts and Architecture magazine, John Entenza, and his influential sponsorship of the Case Study Program , greatly influenced the development of Mid-Century Modern architectural style. The Case Study Program, which included a series of residential designs (not all of which were constructed) was published between 1945-1966. The program emphasized modern design techniques and affordable construction methods that were easily replicated as a means to influence affordable housing production. Key design elements of the Case Study Program include stripped ornamentation, exposed structural components including wide beams as part of a post-and-beam structural system; flat or nearly flat roofs integrating generous overhangs; concrete flooring, and open floor plans. A strong emphasis on indoor-outdoor living was conveyed through the heavy utilization of glazed walls and interior and exterior courtyards. Mid-Century Modern style is an umbrella term that incapsulates a broad range of post-World War II modernist themes that were applied to a variety of property types including single-and-multi family residences, commercial buildings and centers, as well as large-scale educational, institutional, and indsustrial uses. The Mid-Century Modern style’s period of significance is 1945-1975. Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style include use of wood or steel post and beam exposed construction, bountiful glazing, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. In form and massing, the style is expressed through simple geometric volumes and horizontal massing, usually asymmetrical. The style includes little to no ornamentaiton. Roof shapes are often flat or have low-pitch gables, both with wide overhanging eaves. Additionally, highly-pitched A-frame roofs are a reflection of the style. Fenestration is typically flush-mounted metal framed windows that span floor-to-ceiling. Siding can include stucco, concrete block, brick, and wood. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Mid-Century Modern style residential building. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located on a modestly sized parcel in Floral Park, the Turk House is a one-story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features an L-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with the garage in the projecting, front (west) leg of the “L” and a partially enclosed courtyard and living space towards the rear. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, cross-gabled roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 2). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block. The primary (west) façade contains two wings: the front-facing gabled space of the attached garage and the side- gabled volume that houses the primary living space. A concrete block brise soleil and whitewashed brick privacy wall and geometrically patterned wrought iron gate conceals most of the side-gable wing (Figure 3). The main entrance, which is located behind the privacy wall, is composed of a wrought iron door with obscured glass and single side lite and is raised above a shallow concrete step. The door’s abstract geometric pattern echoes that of the wrought iron gate (Figure 4). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.) *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1960 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Turk House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style house in Santa Ana, owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell (junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is attributed to the construction of this property. According to City building records, it was built in 1960 for approximately $21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories. From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By 1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.

Description (continued): Window fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes two obscured-glass trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof, and two sets of narrow, wood-frame, tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements, both set within the interior courtyard on either side of the main entrance (Figure 5). Remaining window fenestration throughout the building includes aluminum-frame fixed, casement, and jalousie windows along the south and north side façades. A single wood-frame, multi-lite pedestrian door is located on the south (side) façade and a wood-frame window with jalousie glass louvers over a paired obscured glass window is located on the north (side) façade, along with two aluminum-clad sliding windows. Rear fenestration includes an aluminum-frame sliding kitchen window that projects outwards from the façade, along with two expansive sets of aluminum-frame sliding doors and a fixed window (Figure 6). Additional architectural features include a central brick chimney, a whitewashed brick planter at the primary façade below the front-facing gable, concrete block and concrete brise soleil pool equipment screen in the rear yard, a narrow whitewashed brick wall that encloses the north side yard, and long beams extending past the gable’s end on both north and south (side) facades (Figure 7). The property is landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation. *B10. Significance (continued): The Turk 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. 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 (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $21,000 to build in 1960. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid- Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style exhibited by the house include its low-pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous fascia that warps around the building’s roofline; stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block exteriors; privacy wall incorporating a brise soleil and wrought iron gate at the primary façade; main entrance made of wrought iron and obscured glass designed in a geometric pattern that echoes the entrance gate; two obscured-glass trapizoidal transoms below the front gable roof; narrow, wood-frame triparte windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements; aluminum-frame fixed, casement, sliding, and jalousie glass louver windows; obscured glass windows; alumium- frame sliding door with a fixed window; attached garage; central brick chimney; whitewashed brick planter; swimming pool; concrete block and brise soleil pool equipment screen in rear yard; and tropical landscaping. *B12.

MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2311 North Benton Way Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 1 - Exhibit C Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows: 1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose. 2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible. 3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged. 4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected. 5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity. 6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures. 7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken. 8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project. 9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2311 North Benton Way Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 2 - 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. Planning and Building Agency Item # 1 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Historic Resources Commission Staff Report March 2, 2023 Topic: HRCA No. 2023-2, HRC 2023-1, HPPA No. 2023-1 – Turk House RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-2 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2023-1 (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 Brian and Krystle L. Newquist, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Brian and Krystle L. Newquist are requesting approval to designate an existing Mid- Century Modern style residence located at 2311 North Benton Way to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of local designation as “Key” status because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style in Santa Ana. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the east side of North Benton Way in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,781-square-foot, Mid-Century Modern style residence and attached garage on a 7,560-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, Exhibit 2 2 -1Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023 HRCA No. 2023-2, HRC 2023-1, HPPA No. 2023-1 – Turk House March 2, 2023 Page 2 3 2 4 0 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 63 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The Turk House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a highly intact Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana, owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell (junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is attributed to the construction of this property. According to City building records, it was built in 1960 for approximately $21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories. From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By 1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants. Located on a modestly sized parcel in Floral Park, the Turk House is a one-story, single- family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool. The building features an L-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with the garage in the projecting, front (west) leg of the “L” and a partially enclosed courtyard and living space towards the rear. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, cross-gabled roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline. The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block. The primary (west) façade contains two wings: the front-facing gabled space of the attached garage and the side-gabled volume that houses the primary living space. A concrete block brise soleil and whitewashed brick privacy wall and geometrically patterned wrought iron gate conceals most of the side- gable wing. The main entrance, which is located behind the privacy wall, is composed of a wrought iron door with obscured glass and single side lite and is raised above a shallow concrete step. The door’s abstract geometric pattern echoes that of the wrought iron gate. Window fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes two obscured-glass 2-2Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023 HRCA No. 2023-2, HRC 2023-1, HPPA No. 2023-1 – Turk House March 2, 2023 Page 3 3 2 4 0 trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof, and two sets of narrow, wood-frame tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements, both set within the interior courtyard on either side of the main entrance. Remaining window fenestration throughout the building includes aluminum-frame fixed, casement, and jalousie windows along the south and north side façades. A single wood-frame, multi-lite pedestrian door is located on the south (side) façade and a wood-frame window with jalousie glass louvers over a paired obscured glass window is located on the north (side) façade, along with two aluminum-clad sliding windows. Rear fenestration includes an aluminum-frame sliding kitchen window that projects outwards from the façade, along with two expansive sets of aluminum-frame sliding doors and a fixed window. Additional architectural features include a central brick chimney, a whitewashed brick planter at the primary façade below the front-facing gable, concrete block and concrete brise soleil pool equipment screen in the rear yard, a narrow whitewashed brick wall that encloses the north side yard, and long beams extending past the gable’s end on both north and south (side) facades. The property is landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation. Character-defining features of the Turk House include, but may not be limited to: low- pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous fascia that warps around the building’s roofline; stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block exteriors; privacy wall incorporating a brise soleil and wrought iron gate at the primary façade; main entrance made of wrought iron and obscured glass designed in a geometric pattern that echoes the entrance gate; two obscured-glass trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof; narrow, wood-frame tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements; aluminum-frame fixed, casement, sliding, and jalousie glass louver windows; obscured glass windows; aluminum-frame sliding door with a fixed window; attached garage; central brick chimney; whitewashed brick planter; swimming pool; concrete block and brise soleil pool equipment screen in rear yard; and tropical landscaping. The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style. This category is reserved for structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the “Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of “Key” status due to the building’s Mid-Century Modern style and quality craftsmanship which features horizontal massing; low-pitch gable roof with wide overhanging eaves; grouped, aluminum-frame casement windows; stucco siding; and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living through the property’s expansive glazing and an interior courtyard composed of a brise soleil privacy fence; among other original features. Mills Act Agreement 2-3Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023 HRCA No. 2023-2, HRC 2023-1, HPPA No. 2023-1 – Turk House March 2, 2023 Page 4 3 2 4 0 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. Overall, future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include landscape maintenance so the front gable is fully visible from the public right-of-way, exterior painting, exterior stucco repair, new plumbing/electrical , pool replastering, window pane rehabilitation/replacement, improved landscaping in the front and rear yards, and general on-going maintenance. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property. As part of the mills act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation. Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. 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. 2-4Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023 HRCA No. 2023-2, HRC 2023-1, HPPA No. 2023-1 – Turk House March 2, 2023 Page 5 3 2 4 0 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. 2023-10 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 $939.29 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ADDRESS 2311 North Benton Way CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1960 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mid-Century Modern Editor of Arts and Architecture magazine, John Entenza, and his influential sponsorship of the Case Study Program, greatly influenced the development of Mid-Century Modern architectural style. The Case Study Program, which included a series of residential designs (not all of which were constructed) was published between 1945-1966. The program emphasized modern design techniques and affordable construction methods that were easily replicated as a means to influence affordable housing production. Key design elements of the Case Study Program include stripped ornamentation, exposed structural components including wide beams as part of a post-and-beam structural system; flat or nearly flat roofs integrating generous overhangs; concrete flooring, and open floor plans. A strong emphasis on indoor-outdoor living was conveyed through the heavy utilization of glazed walls and interior and exterior courtyards. Mid-Century Modern style is an umbrella term that incapsulates a broad range of post-World War II modernist themes that were applied to a variety of property types including single-and-multi family residences, commercial buildings and centers, as well as large-scale educational, institutional, and indsustrial uses. The Mid-Century Modern style’s period of significance is 1945-1975. Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style include use of wood or steel post and beam exposed construction, bountiful glazing, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. In form and massing, the style is expressed through simple geometric volumes and horizontal massing, usually asymmetrical. The style includes little to no ornamentaiton. Roof shapes are often flat or have low-pitch gables, both with wide overhanging eaves. Additionally, highly-pitched A-frame roofs are a reflection of the style. Fenestration is typically flush-mounted metal framed windows that span floor-to-ceiling. Siding can include stucco, concrete block, brick, and wood. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Mid-Century Modern style residential building. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located on a modestly sized parcel in Floral Park, the Turk House is a one-story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features an L-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with the garage in the projecting, front (west) leg of the “L” and a partially enclosed courtyard and living space towards the rear. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, cross-gabled roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 2). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block. The primary (west) façade contains two wings: the front-facing gabled space of the attached garage and the side- gabled volume that houses the primary living space. A concrete block brise soleil and whitewashed brick privacy wall and geometrically patterned wrought iron gate conceals most of the side-gable wing (Figure 3). The main entrance, which is located behind the privacy wall, is composed of a wrought iron door with obscured glass and single side lite and is raised above a shallow concrete step. The door’s abstract geometric pattern echoes that of the wrought iron gate (Figure 4). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.) *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1960 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Turk House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style house in Santa Ana, owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell (junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is attributed to the construction of this property. According to City building records, it was built in 1960 for approximately $21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories. From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By 1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.

Description (continued): Window fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes two obscured-glass trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof, and two sets of narrow, wood-frame, tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements, both set within the interior courtyard on either side of the main entrance (Figure 5). Remaining window fenestration throughout the building includes aluminum-frame fixed, casement, and jalousie windows along the south and north side façades. A single wood-frame, multi-lite pedestrian door is located on the south (side) façade and a wood-frame window with jalousie glass louvers over a paired obscured glass window is located on the north (side) façade, along with two aluminum-clad sliding windows. Rear fenestration includes an aluminum-frame sliding kitchen window that projects outwards from the façade, along with two expansive sets of aluminum-frame sliding doors and a fixed window (Figure 6). Additional architectural features include a central brick chimney, a whitewashed brick planter at the primary façade below the front-facing gable, concrete block and concrete brise soleil pool equipment screen in the rear yard, a narrow whitewashed brick wall that encloses the north side yard, and long beams extending past the gable’s end on both north and south (side) facades (Figure 7). The property is landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation. *B10. Significance (continued): The Turk 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. 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 (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $21,000 to build in 1960. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid- Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style exhibited by the house include its low-pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous fascia that warps around the building’s roofline; stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block exteriors; privacy wall incorporating a brise soleil and wrought iron gate at the primary façade; main entrance made of wrought iron and obscured glass designed in a geometric pattern that echoes the entrance gate; two obscured-glass trapizoidal transoms below the front gable roof; narrow, wood-frame triparte windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements; aluminum-frame fixed, casement, sliding, and jalousie glass louver windows; obscured glass windows; alumium- frame sliding door with a fixed window; attached garage; central brick chimney; whitewashed brick planter; swimming pool; concrete block and brise soleil pool equipment screen in rear yard; and tropical landscaping. *B12.

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 2-26Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2311 North Benton Way Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 2 - size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment. 10.
