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 Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, the Russell-Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side-gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. Simplicity and near symmetry identify the Colonial Revival inspiration for this single-family residence, which features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with modest overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The façade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A pattern. The focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the “C” bay, detailed with a Classical surround and containing a non-original wood door with built-in screen. The end (“A”) bays feature single, multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters, while the ”B” bay features a multi-paned tripartite window composed of two casement windows flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and tripartite, multi-paned, double-hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one-story, gable- roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building permits document removal of the original shake roof. While the residence has been altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to detract from the integrity of the residence. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and neatly trimmed hedges and features a walkway paved in flagstone leading to the front entry. *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1956 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 Russell-Irving House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the side-gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and builder Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965). Along with developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), Roy Russell was credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-1990's. However, during the 1990's Paul and Therese Irving bought the property and resided there until 2004, when the property was sold to Adrienne Salyer. The property was sold soon after to Steven and Louise Mishler who resided there for 13 years. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

Significance (continued): Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Russell-Irving 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 Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Russell-Irving House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; four-bay façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main entry surround. *B12.

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 935 West Twentieth Street 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 July 1, 2021 Topic: HRCA No. 2021-11, HRC 2021-11, HPPA No. 2021-10 – The Russell-Irving House RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021- 11 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-11 (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 Frank Filipponio and Kristen Marcucci, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Frank Filipponio and Kristen Marcucci are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 935 West Twentieth 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 north side of West Twentieth Street in the West Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,782-square-foot, Minimal Traditional residence and detached garage on a 7,700-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, Historic Resources Commission 1 –1 7/1/2021 Exhibit 2 HRCA No. 2021-11, HRC 2021-11, HPPA No. 2021-10 – The Russell-Irving House July 1, 2021 Page 2 1 8 0 2 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 property is 65 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Russell-Irving House has distinctive architectural features of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and builder Roy Roscoe Russell. Along with developer and builder Allison Honer, Roy Russell was credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. The Russell-Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side- gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. Simplicity and near symmetry identify the Colonial Revival inspiration for this single- family residence, which features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with modest overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The façade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A pattern. The focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the “C” bay, detailed with a Classical surround and containing a non-original wood door with built-in screen. The end (“A”) bays feature single, multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters, while the ”B” bay features a multi-paned tripartite window composed of two casement windows flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and tripartite, multi-paned, double-hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one- story, gable-roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building permits document removal of the original shake roof. While the residence has been altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to detract from the integrity of the residence. Character-defining features of the Russell- Irving House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; four-bay façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main entry surround. Historic Resources Commission 1 –2 7/1/2021 HRCA No. 2021-11, HRC 2021-11, HPPA No. 2021-10 – The Russell-Irving House July 1, 2021 Page 3 1 8 0 2 The Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side- gabled roof variant 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 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.

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 Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, the Russell-Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side-gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. Simplicity and near symmetry identify the Colonial Revival inspiration for this single-family residence, which features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with modest overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The façade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A pattern. The focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the “C” bay, detailed with a Classical surround and containing a non-original wood door with built-in screen. The end (“A”) bays feature single, multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters, while the ”B” bay features a multi-paned tripartite window composed of two casement windows flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and tripartite, multi-paned, double-hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one-story, gable- roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building permits document removal of the original shake roof. While the residence has been altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to detract from the integrity of the residence. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and neatly trimmed hedges and features a walkway paved in flagstone leading to the front entry. *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1956 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 Russell-Irving House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the side-gable variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and builder Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965). Along with developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), Roy Russell was credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-1990's. However, during the 1990's Paul and Therese Irving bought the property and resided there until 2004, when the property was sold to Adrienne Salyer. The property was sold soon after to Steven and Louise Mishler who resided there for 13 years. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

Significance (continued): Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Russell-Irving 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 Russell-Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the side-gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side-gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Russell-Irving House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; four-bay façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main entry surround. *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 Historic Resources Commission 1 –21 7/1/2021 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 935 West Twentieth Street 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.

The Ranch House originated in the 1930’s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the W est’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 Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Also address integrity) The Martha Ann Brooks House is architecturally significant as as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. This house was originally constructed in 1951, by J. H. Russell and Son for Wesley Farney. Soonafter it was constructed it was sold to Martha Ann Brooks and her first husband William Cheney. Martha Ann Brooks and William Cheney divorced in the mid-1960s, and Martha Ann later married Walter L. Brooks in 1969. Walter L. Brooks served on the Santa Ana City Council in the 1960s. Martha Ann was a civic leader in Santa Ana, raising money for the public library, arts and culture, and hospitals. She was a prominent member of the Republican party, being invited to the White House on several occasions, and was a constant learner and creative person, mastering painting, pottery, fashion design and millinery. She lived to be 101 and 7 months old and was interviewed by the City of Santa Ana History Room in 2018 for her 100th Birthday. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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 Martha Ann Brooks 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Martha Ann Brooks House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: horizontal, one-story massing; low- pitched and side-gabled roofs covered in clay barrel tiles and displaying carved brackets in the overhanging eaves; partial- width open porches tucked beneath the gable roof; metal-framed, multi-paned windows and front entry; and exterior walls of brick or stucco that suggest adobe. *B12.

Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Benjamin and Nicolette Ellen- Valdez Ramirez subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Benjamin and Nicolette Ellen-Valdez Ramirez are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2307 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. 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 2,358-square-foot, Ranch House residence and detached garage on a 9,800-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, Historic Resources Commission 2 –1 7/1/2021 Exhibit 4 HRCA No. 2021-06, HRC 2021-06, HPPA No. 2021-06 – The Martha Ann Brooks House July 1, 2021 Page 2 1 8 0 4 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 property is 70 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Martha Ann Brooks House has distinctive architectural features of the hacienda variant of the Ranch architectural style. This house was originally constructed in 1951 for $20,000 by J. H. Russell and Son. Soon after it was constructed it was sold to Martha Ann Brooks and her first husband William Cheney. Martha Ann Brooks and William Cheney divorced in the mid-1960s, and Martha Ann later married Walter L. Brooks who served on the Santa Ana City Council in the 1960s. Martha Ann was a civic leader in Santa Ana, raising money for the public library, arts and culture, and hospitals. Inspired by the nineteenth century adobe homes of the California pioneers, the Martha Ann Brooks House is an intact and unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The one-story single-family residence sits on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback, and features a detached three-car garage.

The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. 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.

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 Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The house and detached garage exhibit a horizontal, one-story massing with low-pitched and side-gabled roofs clad in clay barrel tiles displaying carved brackets in the overhanging eaves. Both structures’ exterior walls are clad in brick and stucco suggesting adobe. wood clapboard sides the gable ends. A partial-width open porch tucked beneath the gable roof is characterized by stout, brick piers, banded at top by decorative tiles, that define three bays. Centrally located within the porch, the front entry consists of a single half-glazed, wood front door with a single side light. The living room north of the entry is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, consisting of a large central pane flanked by a pair of casement windows.

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 Martha Ann Brooks 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Martha Ann Brooks House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an unusual example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style. The property is also notable as the residence of Martha Ann Brooks, a long-time Santa Ana resident, and her husband, Walter L. Brooks, a former city council member. The recommended categorization is “Key” because the property has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the hacienda variant of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Martha Ann Brooks House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: horizontal, one-story massing; low- pitched and side-gabled roofs covered in clay barrel tiles and displaying carved brackets in the overhanging eaves; partial- width open porches tucked beneath the gable roof; metal-framed, multi-paned windows and front entry; and exterior walls of brick or stucco that suggest adobe. *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 Historic Resources Commission 2 –21 7/1/2021 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2307 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.

The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 5. Cancellation. a.The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or 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 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2311 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 - 4 - Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the 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 original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster. c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288. 6.

This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one- story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1948 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 Ida C. Wiesseman House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style Minimal Traditional architectural style. It was built in 1948 by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The home was built for Mrs. Ida C. Wiesseman, (1872-1961) who became a widow in 1948. Before residing at this property, she resided at 2411 North Park Blvd. with her husband Frank W. Wiesseman (1863-1930). Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman moved with their two youngest children from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at 114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years, 1910 and 1961, Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana. The two were active in the First Methodist Church, and Mrs. Wiesseman was an active member of The Ebell Club. The family was notable in business and social circles in Santa Ana. Mr. Wiesseman passed away in 1930 at the age of 68, and Mrs. Wesseman in 1961 in her late 80s. Their daughter Helen, born in 1913 in Santa Ana, would reside in the home most of her life until 1969. She would pass away in San Diego in 2004. In 1969, the home was sold to Jack and Laura Daley, about whom little is known. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Ida C. Wiesseman House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival, including its combination of red brick and wood lap siding; wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows; open front porch whose canopy is supported by a single slender post, and details such as frieze board and window shutters. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Ida C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing; roof configuration and treatment; porch; brick chimney; fenestration (wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows); and architectural detailing (wood shutters, frieze board). *B12.

Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Lauren and Jenny Hartshorne, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lauren and Jenny Hartshorne are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2311 North Heliotrope Drive 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 North Heliotrope Drive in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,306-square-foot, Minimal Traditional residence and detached garage on a 7,800-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, Historic Resources Commission 3 –1 7/1/2021 Exhibit 6 HRCA No. 2021-13, HRC 2021-13, HPPA No. 2021-12 – The Ida C. Wiesseman House July 1, 2021 Page 2 1 8 0 6 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 property is 73 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Ida C. Wiesseman House, has distinctive architectural features of the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style, and exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival style. It was built in 1948 for $12,000 by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The home was built for Mrs. Ida C. Wiesseman, who became a widow in 1948. Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman moved with their two youngest children from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at 114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years 1910 and 1961, Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana. The Ida C. Wiesseman House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features a moderately pitched, front- and side-gabled roof configuration with shallow eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of red brick and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a single slender post with a diamond pattern cross bracing between the post and house. The entry contains a wide, six-panel, wood door flanked by two narrow, half-height sidelights. The front (west) elevation features wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows framed by wood shutters, located to north and south of the entry porch. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of four-over-four wood-framed, double-hung sash windows. A prominent exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story, gabled, detached garage clad in wood lap siding and featuring four-over-four wood- framed, double-hung sash windows is located in the rear of the property. Character- defining features of the Ida C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing; roof configuration and treatment; porch; brick chimney; fenestration (wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows); and architectural detailing (wood shutters, frieze board).

The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture. 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 Historic Resources Commission 3 –3 7/1/2021 HRCA No. 2021-13, HRC 2021-13, HPPA No. 2021-12 – The Ida C.

This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one- story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Ida C. Wiesseman House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features a moderately-pitched, front- and side-gabled roof configuration with shallow eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of red brick and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a single slender post with a diamond pattern cross bracing between the post and house. The entry contains a wide, six-panel, wood door flanked by two narrow, half-height sidelights. The front (west) elevation features wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows framed by wood shutters, located to north and south of the entry porch. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of four-over-four wood-framed, double-hung sash windows. A prominent exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story, gabled, detached garage clad in wood lap siding and featuring four-over-four wood-framed, double- hung sash windows is located in the rear of the property. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and a mature tree and features a walkway paved in herringbone brick leading to the front entry. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Ida C. Wiesseman House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style Minimal Traditional architectural style. It was built in 1948 by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The home was built for Mrs. Ida C. Wiesseman, (1872-1961) who became a widow in 1948. Before residing at this property, she resided at 2411 North Park Blvd. with her husband Frank W. Wiesseman (1863-1930). Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman moved with their two youngest children from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman’s Variety Store at 114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years, 1910 and 1961, Wiesseman’s Variety Store was an original stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana. The two were active in the First Methodist Church, and Mrs. Wiesseman was an active member of The Ebell Club. The family was notable in business and social circles in Santa Ana. Mr. Wiesseman passed away in 1930 at the age of 68, and Mrs. Wesseman in 1961 in her late 80s. Their daughter Helen, born in 1913 in Santa Ana, would reside in the home most of her life until 1969. She would pass away in San Diego in 2004. In 1969, the home was sold to Jack and Laura Daley, about whom little is known. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Ida C. Wiesseman House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 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 (2021) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Ida C. Wiesseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Minimal Traditional style as it developed from the FHA’s Principles for Planning Small Houses (1940), specifically, that “all non-essential features can profitably be eliminated.” An example of the gable-and-wing variant of the style, the house exhibits details consistent with the Colonial Revival, including its combination of red brick and wood lap siding; wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows; open front porch whose canopy is supported by a single slender post, and details such as frieze board and window shutters. The house is also of interest because it was built by the Allison Honer Co., a key firm in the development of Floral Park. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Ida C. Wiesseman House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (red brick and wood lap siding); massing; roof configuration and treatment; porch; brick chimney; fenestration (wood-framed and multi-paned double-hung sash windows); and architectural detailing (wood shutters, frieze board). *B12.

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.

ADDRESS 2424 North Bonnie Brae CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1950 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive 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: 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 W est’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 Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear elevation and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front façade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched, side-gabled roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front elevation and a projecting front-gabled wing at the west end of the facade. The roof design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and horizontal siding, board-and-batten siding, and brick. Centered on the façade, the partial-width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof extension. At the west end of the porch, the entry contains a single, half-glazed, front door with a cross bottom panel and a single side light. East of the entry, the living room is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, with a large central pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal-framed, multi-light, double casement windows framed by wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed, multi-light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of the original rear porch, window changeouts, and enclosure of a nook at east side of house. 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 single brick walkway leading towards the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1950 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 Clarence Bond House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. This house was originally constructed in 1950, by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond (1900-1980) and wife Hazel M. Bond (1901-1985), the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home during its period of significance. Mr. Bond was in business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment bonds. The business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the depression due to the marketing of bonds for public infrastructure improvement throughout the County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the home for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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 Clarence Bond 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 (2021), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Clarence Bond House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration; overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. *B12.

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 # 4 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Historic Resources Commission Staff Report July 1, 2021 Topic: HRCA No. 2021-04, HRC 2021-04, HPPA No. 2021-04 – The Clarence Bond House RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021- 04 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-04 (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 Alfred Frank Weitzman, Maura Zwerling Weitzman, David A. Weitzman, and Brooke Weitzman, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Alfred Frank Weitzman, Maura Zwerling Weitzman, David A. Weitzman, and Brooke Weitzman are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2424 North 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 south side of North Bonnie Brae in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 2,785-square-foot, Ranch style residence and attached garage on a 15,775-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, Historic Resources Commission 4 –1 7/1/2021 Exhibit 8 HRCA No. 2021-04, HRC 2021-04, HPPA No. 2021-04 – The Clarence Bond House July 1, 2021 Page 2 1 8 0 8 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 property is 71 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Ida C. Wiesseman House, is in intact and characteristic example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. It was built in 1950 for $30,000 by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond and his wife Hazel M. Bond, the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home. Mr. Bond was in business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment bonds. The business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the depression due to the marketing of bonds for public infrastructure improvement throughout Orange County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the home for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s. The Clarence Bond House is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear elevation and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front façade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched, side-gabled roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front elevation and a projecting front-gabled wing at the west end of the facade. The roof design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and horizontal siding, board-and-batten siding, and brick. Centered on the façade, the partial-width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof extension. At the west end of the porch, , the entry contains a single, half-glazed, front door with a cross bottom panel and a single side light. East of the entry, the living room is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, with a large central pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal-framed, multi-light, double casement windows framed by wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed, multi-light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of Historic Resources Commission 4 –2 7/1/2021 HRCA No. 2021-04, HRC 2021-04, HPPA No. 2021-04 – The Clarence Bond House July 1, 2021 Page 3 1 8 0 8 the original rear porch, window changeouts, and enclosure of a nook at east side of house. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. Character-defining features of the Clarence Bond House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration; overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details.

The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good 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.

ADDRESS 2424 North Bonnie Brae CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1950 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive 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: 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 Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. An attached two-car garage is located behind (south of) the south end of the rear elevation and is connected by a breezeway. The house and garage delineate a reversed "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio enclosure. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long roof ridge running parallel to the front façade (north elevation). It features a moderately pitched, side-gabled roof design with an extension over a partial width porch along the front elevation and a projecting front-gabled wing at the west end of the facade. The roof design exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along the all elevations. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco, broad vertical and horizontal siding, board-and-batten siding, and brick. Centered on the façade, the partial-width porch is divided into three bays by slender posts that support the roof extension. At the west end of the porch, , the entry contains a single, half-glazed, front door with a cross bottom panel and a single side light. East of the entry, the living room is illuminated by a large metal-framed, multi-light picture window, with a large central pane flanked by two casement windows. Two metal-framed, multi-light, double casement windows framed by wood shutters occupy the end bays of the facade. Along the east, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series metal-framed, multi-light casement windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. Alterations to the house include the removal of original wood shake roof, enclosure of the original rear porch, window changeouts, and enclosure of a nook at east side of house. 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 single brick walkway leading towards the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes)HP2.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1950 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 Clarence Bond House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. This house was originally constructed in 1950, by John N. Galbraith for George Clarence Bond (1900-1980) and wife Hazel M. Bond (1901-1985), the first, longest and most notable owners and occupants of this home during its period of significance. Mr. Bond was in business with his father G.W. Bond in the business of selling investment bonds. The business began in Santa Ana in 1925 and was a success before and during the depression due to the marketing of bonds for public infrastructure improvement throughout the County. Clarence and Hazel Bond would own and occupy the home for over 25 years until their individual deaths in the early 1980s. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

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 Clarence Bond 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 (2021), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Clarence Bond House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as characteristic and intact example of a post-World War II Ranch style house in Santa Ana. Its most notable feature is the metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration. Other typical features include overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the post-World War II character and history of Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Clarence Bond House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: metal-framed, multi-light façade fenestration; overall horizontality; combination of exterior building materials including broad horizontal siding, board and batten, brick, and stucco; and Colonial Revival details. *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 Historic Resources Commission 4 –23 7/1/2021 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2424 North Bonnie Brae 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.

ADDRESS 2206 North Freeman Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1956 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A 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 W est’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. Characteristic features of the house include its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the combination of wide wood lap siding with board and batten; and picturesque fenestration, notably two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows on the façade. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located behind (west of) the rear elevation of the residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched cross-dutch gabled roof with an extension at the rear of the house. The roof design exhibits wide open eaves with visible rafters behind the fascia. The exterior of the façade (east elevation) is clad in a combination of horizontal, wide wood lap siding and vertical board and batten, accented by brick planters lining the base. Stucco sheathes the side and rear elevations of the house. The façade consists of a projecting south wing and recessed north wing. Located off-center at the junction of the two wings and sheltered under the main roof, the deep entry porch is characterized by wood lap siding to the left (south) and a simple wood post attached to a triangular braced roof overhang to the right (north). The entry features a wood door with a large window pane of a striated glass set over a panel embellished with an “X” design. North of the entry, a large wood-framed, multipaned picture window flanked by double-hung four-over-four sashes, a total of seven columns of four rectangular panes, occupies most of this section of the facade. Two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows are centered on the façade south of the entry. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including four-over-four and horizontal pane sashes. An interior brick chimney located at the center of the house rises above the cross-dutch gable roof. With the sole exception of a modern roofing material, the house appears to be unaltered on the façade. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and single concrete walkway leading towards the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

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 Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Eisen-Glasser House include, but may not be limited to: its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the combination of materials and finishes (wide wood lap siding with board and batten); wide open eaves with visible rafters behind fascia; and picturesque fenestration, notably the large, multi-paned living room window and two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows. *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.

Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2021- 12 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2021-12 (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 Jacob and Vanessa Collins subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Jacob and Vanessa Collins are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2206 North Freeman 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 west side of North Freeman Street in the West Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,594-square-foot, Ranch House residence and detached garage on an 8,163-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, Historic Resources Commission 5 –1 7/1/2021 Exhibit 10 HRCA No. 2021-12, HRC 2021-12, HPPA No. 2021-11 – The Eisen-Glasser House July 1, 2021 Page 2 1 7 0 8 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 property is 65 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Eisen-Glasser House has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch architectural style. This house was originally constructed in 1956 for $14,000 by the owner/builder, Jack A. Eisen. In April 1959, the property was jointly owned by the Eisen’s and Bernard and Bluma Glasser. The Glasser family were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Mr. Glasser owned and resided on the property until 2016. The Eisen-Glasser House is an intact and good example of Ranch style architecture. The one-story single-family residence sits on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and a detached two-car garage at the rear of the property. The residence exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched cross- dutch-gabled roof with an extension at the rear of the house. The roof design exhibits wide open eaves with visible rafters behind the fascia. The exterior of the façade (east elevation) is clad in a combination of horizontal, wide wood lap siding and vertical board and batten, accented by brick planters lining the base. Stucco sheathes the side and rear elevations of the house. The façade consists of a projecting south wing and recessed north wing. Located off-center at the junction of the two wings and sheltered under the main roof, the deep entry porch is characterized by wood lap siding to the left (south) and a simple wood post attached to a triangular braced roof overhang to the right (north). The entry features a wood door with a large window pane of a striated glass set over a panel embellished with an “X” design. North of the entry, consists of a large wood-framed multipaned picture window flanked by double hung four-over-four sashes, a total of seven columns of four rectangular panes, occupies most of this section of the facade. Two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows are centered on the facade south of the entry. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including four-over-four and horizontal pane sashes. An interior brick chimney located at the center of the house rises above the cross-dutch gable roof. The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Historic Resources Commission 5 –2 7/1/2021 HRCA No. 2021-12, HRC 2021-12, HPPA No. 2021-11 – The Eisen-Glasser House July 1, 2021 Page 3 1 7 0 8 Ranch House style. The property is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because the property contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good 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 Historic Resources Commission 5 –3 7/1/2021 HRCA No. 2021-12, HRC 2021-12, HPPA No. 2021-11 – The Eisen-Glasser House July 1, 2021 Page 4 1 7 0 8 are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2021-59 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 $834.51 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ADDRESS 2206 North Freeman Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1956 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A 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 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. Characteristic features of the house include its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the combination of wide wood lap siding with board and batten; and picturesque fenestration, notably two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows on the façade. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, this is a one-story, single-family residence on a modestly sized parcel, sited with a typical setback and constructed in a Ranch House style. A detached garage is located behind (west of) the rear elevation of the residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched cross-dutch gabled roof with an extension at the rear of the house. The roof design exhibits wide open eaves with visible rafters behind the fascia. The exterior of the façade (east elevation) is clad in a combination of horizontal, wide wood lap siding and vertical board and batten, accented by brick planters lining the base. Stucco sheathes the side and rear elevations of the house. The façade consists of a projecting south wing and recessed north wing. Located off-center at the junction of the two wings and sheltered under the main roof, the deep entry porch is characterized by wood lap siding to the left (south) and a simple wood post attached to a triangular braced roof overhang to the right (north). The entry features a wood door with a large window pane of a striated glass set over a panel embellished with an “X” design. North of the entry, a large wood-framed, multipaned picture window flanked by double-hung four-over-four sashes, a total of seven columns of four rectangular panes, occupies most of this section of the facade. Two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows are centered on the façade south of the entry. Along the north, south, and east elevations, the building incorporates a series of wood windows, including four-over-four and horizontal pane sashes. An interior brick chimney located at the center of the house rises above the cross-dutch gable roof. With the sole exception of a modern roofing material, the house appears to be unaltered on the façade. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and single concrete walkway leading towards the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes)HP2.

Also address integrity) The Eisen-Glasser House is architecturally significant as an intact and characteristic example of the Ranch House style. This house was originally constructed in 1956 by the owner, Jack A. Eisen. Mr. and Mrs. Eisen resided in the property until 1959 when it was granted to Bernard and Bluma Glasser. The Glasser family were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Mr. Glasser would own and reside in the property until 2016. In 2020, Jacob and Vanessa Collins acquired the property.

Significance (continued): Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Eisen-Glasser 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 Eisen-Glasser House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style. It is also notable for its association with the Glasser family, who were prominent members of the Jewish community in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the character and history of West Floral Park and is a good example of Ranch style architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Eisen-Glasser House include, but may not be limited to: its horizontality, keynoted by a low-pitched gabled and hipped roof; rusticity, epitomized by the combination of materials and finishes (wide wood lap siding with board and batten); wide open eaves with visible rafters behind fascia; and picturesque fenestration, notably the large, multi-paned living room window and two pairs of wood-framed, diamond-paned, double-hung sash windows. *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 size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.
