ADDRESS 1113 West Riviera Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 1 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West Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated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 1930s 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 Buchheim House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch -style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it is a good example of the style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Buchheim House is a highly intact example of a one-story, Ranch -style, single-family residence with a detached garage (Figure 1). Constructed on a generally rectangular plan, the residence is capped with a cross -hipped roof with wood shake shingles and moderate to broad eaves. Cladding on the front -facing south facade is principally board -and -batten but also includes fieldstone -veneer wainscoting and within the full height of the recessed porch (Figure 2). Use of such fieldstone cladding is repeated in the exposed internal chimney, an integrated planter on the south facade, and a short blade wall extending toward the driveway (Figure 3). Secondary -facade cladding alternates between stucco and board -and -batten. The front recessed front entrance includes a door with molded paneling and a fanlight, flanked by similar partially glazed panels, all of which appear non -original per visual observation (Figure 4). Windows are wood casements throughout, and have been replaced in -kind at the rear of the house (Figure 5). Also at the rear of the residence, a wood -framed sliding glass door opens north toward a landscaped backyard featuring a below -ground swimming pool (Figure 6). The residence is adjoined to the detached garage by a covered walkway with a gable -roof structure. The walkway is separated from the adjacent backyard by a breeze -block partition.

The original building permit is dated May 26, 1956, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner Robert F. Buchhelm for $25,000. The contractor was Hugh M. Neighbour, Jr. Although available sources do not confirm the property's designer, it is possible Neighbour, a builder since 1946, designed the property as he was known to have included the design of custom houses as part of his building practice between the late 1940s and early 1960s (Santa Ana Register August 21, 1946, December 11, 1948, The Register July 4, 1954, August 30, 1959, December 16, 1962). A review of City of Santa Ana property ownership data shows that Buchheim family, including Robert and Marion K. Buchheim, owned the property until 2009, when it was acquired by Charles and Molly Martin, the property's current owners. 1311. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Buchheim 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 Buchheim House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of Ranch -style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house cost $35,000 to build in 1956. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it Is a good example of the Ranch style and contributes to the architectural character of the neighborhood (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character -defining features of the Buchheim House include, but may not be limited to: generally rectangular plan; asymmetrical primary fagade at the south; moderate -pitch hipped roof with wood shake shingles; broad roof overhang; board -and -batten, stucco, and fieldstone veneer exterior cladding; fieldstone -veneer -clad chimney, integrated planter, and blade wall; wood casement windows; recessed front (south) entrance with fieldstone veneer and board -and -batten cladding; detached garage; covered walkway linking residence and garage and featuring a gable roof shatter with exposed trusswork; front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs, and backyard with landscaping, breeze -block partition, and swimming pool. *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. 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.
