Topic: Certified Local Government 2023-2024 Annual Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and File the Certified Local Government 2023-2024 Annual Report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Certified Local Government historic preservation programs are required to submit an
annual report to the State Office of Historic Preservation and the National Park Service
to summarize the achievement and activities of the local agency prior to the annual March
28, 2025 deadline.
DISCUSSION
Background
The National Historic Preservation Act provides for the establishment of Certified Local
Government Programs (CLG) to encourage the direct participation of local governments
in the identification, evaluation, registration, and preservation of historic properties
within their jurisdictions. In addition, the program promotes the integration of local
preservation interests into local planning and decision-making processes. The program
is a partnership among local governments, the State of California Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP), and the National Park Service (NPS), which is responsible for
administering the National Historic Preservation Program.
With City Council endorsement in 2001, the City of Santa Ana applied for and was
accepted into the CLG program. Each year, CLG communities are required to submit
an annual report to assist OHP in tracking the local preservation program's ongoing
activities. The Santa Ana CLG Annual Report (Exhibit 1) will be submitted to California
OHP prior to the March 28, 2025 deadline. The report summarizes the achievement and
activities of Santa Ana’s Historic Preservation Program during the October 1, 2023
through September 30, 2024 timeframe. These achievements include 9 historic listings,
16 Mills Act Agreements, five certificates of appropriateness, and continued efforts to
implement the Historic Preservation Element implementation actions, which were

Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
March 6, 2025
Topic: HRCA No. 2025-01, HRC No. 2025-01, HPPA No. 2025-01 – Brophy House
(2301 N Westwood Avenue)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2025-01
and Historic Register Categorization No. 2025-01 (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 Kevin Nguyen, subject to non-
substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kevin Nguyen is requesting approval to designate an existing Mid-Century Modern-style
residence located at 2301 North Westwood Avenue to the Santa Ana Register of
Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City
of Santa Ana. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Mid-Century Modern-style house.
It is worthy of “Key” categorization as it has a distinctive architectural style and quality
reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style, including its wide overhanging eaves, louvered
privacy wall, floor-to-ceiling glazing, among other features.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on a corner lot with Santa Clara Avenue to the south and
Westwood Avenue to the west, in the West Floral Park neighborhood in Santa Ana. The
site contains a 2,104-square-foot, Mid-Century Modern-style residence and attached
detached garage on a 12,825-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).

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,
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 selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana
Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa
Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 68 years old and is a sound example of period
architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Brophy House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Mid-Century
Modern-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated September 10,
1957 and indicates it was built as a single-family six-room residence and garage by
contractor A.K. Herrick, at a cost of $23,000. The original architect is unknown. The
earliest known occupant is Joseph P. Brophy, who is listed on the original building permit.
City directories note Mr. Brophy as the building's owner through 1962. The years 1963-
1987 do not include the subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not
available for research. Newspaper articles indicate that prior to owning 2301 N Westwood
Avenue, Mr. Brophy moved to Santa Ana in 1939 and owned a café located at 220 E. 4th
Street for at least ten years. Mr. Brophy, without any public office experience, ran for state
assembly in 1954 and lost to Assemblyman Earle Stanley (Santa Ana Register February
18, 1954 and Santa Ana Register June 9, 1954). No pertinent information was uncovered
regarding Mr. Brophy during his time occupying 2301 N Westwood Avenue. The next
known owner, Bernie Barnette, owned the subject property from circa 1989 to 2008, per
available city directories. Mr. Barnette worked for MacLean sales department in the 1950s
as well as worked as a used car manager (Santa Ana Register May 1, 1955). No other
information was uncovered. The property remained in the Barnette family until 2024,
when current owner Kevin Nguyen purchased the property from Bradley Barnette.
Located on a corner parcel in West Floral Park, the Brophy House is a one-story, single-
family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool. The
building features a U-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with two primary facades: the
main living area in the west wing facing Westwood Avenue, and a louvered privacy wall
with a rear yard entrance and an attached garage in the south wing facing Santa Clara
Avenue. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed

through a low-pitched, complex hipped roof with deep overhanging eaves and continuous
fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline. The center point where the west and
south wings meet form a prominent southwest building corner with a slightly higher
pitched gable roof than the majority of the building. The exterior of the house is clad
primarily in a combination of stucco and stonewall, with minimal concrete block towards
the rear. The main entrance, which is located behind security doors, is composed of
double solid pedestrian doors with two doorknobs each adorned by round bronze
ornamentation. The entrance is raised above two shallow stone-clad steps and is situated
under a wide overhanging eave with a single cylinder support beam that forms the front
porch.
Window fenestration throughout the property includes a mix of materials, primarily
comprised of aluminum and wood-frame windows. On the primary (west) façade,
fenestration includes a pair of narrow casement windows to the north and floor-to-ceiling
fixed wood windows at the south corner near the main entrance. Below the southwest
gable roof are two wood-frame trapezoidal transoms. Window fenestration on the primary
(south) façade includes a single wood-framed stained-glass window, one tripartite
aluminum-frame casement window, one double glass block window, and a jalousie
window. Remaining rear-facing window fenestration throughout the interior courtyard
includes several sets of floor-to-ceiling aluminum slider and fixed windows, large floor-to-
ceiling fixed wood windows that span the façade and building corner, and a single vinyl
replacement slider window. The north (side) façade contains two sets of aluminum-frame
casement windows and one group of aluminum-frame transom casement and fixed
windows. Additional architectural features include the use of stonewall material that is
applied on the central stonewall chimney, shallow front porch steps, and front yard
planters; wood shutters which flank the aluminum casement windows at the primary
(west) façade; prominent window sill located on the wood-frame windows and single
jalousie window; three long beams extending past the gable’s end at the southwest gable;
and rear swimming pool. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, low shrubs, palm
trees and tropical-themed plants, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation.
Character-defining features of the Brophy House include, but may not be limited to: its U-
shaped plan; two primary (west and south) facades; asymmetrical design; horizontal
emphasis expressed through low-pitched, complex hipped roof with deep overhanging
eaves; continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline; southwest gable roof
with trapezoidal transoms; original windows and doors consisting of aluminum and wood
frames; one jalousie window; prominent window sill on wood-frame windows and one
jalousie window; stucco and stonewall cladding throughout; main entrance within front
porch composed of double doors with bronze doorknob ornamentation; stonewall
chimney; stone-clad front porch steps and planter boxes; louvered privacy wall with a rear
yard entrance; attached garage; and front lawn with tropical landscaping. The Brophy
House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under
Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana.

Located in West Floral Park, the house cost $23,000 to build in 1957. The recommended
categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective
of the Mid-Century Modern 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
•A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures
•Discouraging 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 subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached
Work Plan.
Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial
ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: removing the non-compatible
rear vinyl window, changing the exterior lighting for historically-appropriate lighting,
maintaining trimmed condition of landscaping and trees at the front of the property, and
repainting the exterior with a compatible color palette. Staff suggests adding the following
items to the Work Plan: removing the double security doors from the main entrance, and
removing and replacing the double glass block window (south façade) with a historically
compatible window. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and
will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement
for this property.
As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that
a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will
include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including,
but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features,
landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, it is
recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to
enable the Mills Act.

account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,499.19 annually, for a period of
not less than ten years.

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

Located on a corner parcel in West Floral Park, the Brophy House is a one-story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style
residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features a U-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy
with two primary facades: the main living area in the west wing facing Westwood Avenue, and a louvered privacy wall with a
rear yard entrance and an attached garage in the south wing facing Santa Clara Avenue (Figure 2). Asymmetrical in design,
the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, complex hipped roof with deep overhanging
eaves and continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 3). The center point where the west and south
wings meet form a prominent southwest building corner with a slightly higher pitched gable roof than the majority of the
building (Figure 4). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco and stonewall, with minimal
concrete block towards the rear. The main entrance, which is located behind security doors, is composed of double solid
pedestrian doors with two doorknobs each adorned by round bronze ornamentation. The entrance is raised above two
shallow stone-clad steps and is situated under a wide overhanging eave with a single cylinder support beam that forms the
front porch (Figure 5).

The Brophy House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Mid-Century Modern-style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit is dated September 10, 1957 and indicates it was built as a single-family six-room residence and
garage by contractor A.K. Herrick, at a cost of $23,000. The original architect is unknown. The earliest known occupant is
Joseph P. Brophy, who is listed on the original building permit. City directories note Mr. Brophy as the building's owner
through 1962. The years 1963-1987 do not include the subject address in the directory or the directory itself was not available
for research. Newspaper articles indicate that prior to owning 2301 N Westwood Avenue, Mr. Brophy moved to Santa Ana in
1939 and owned a café located at 220 E. 4th Street for at least ten years. Mr. Brophy, without any public office experience,
ran for state assembly in 1954 and lost to Assemblyman Earle Stanley (Santa Ana Register February 18, 1954 and Santa
Ana Register June 9, 1954). No pertinent information was uncovered regarding Mr. Brophy during his time occupying 2301 N
Westwood Avenue. The next known owner, Bernie Barnette, owned the subject property from circa 1989 to 2008, per
available city directories. Mr. Barnette worked for MacLean sales department in the 1950s as well as worked as a used car
manager (Santa Ana Register May 1, 1955). No other information was uncovered. The property remained in the Barnette
family until 2024, when current owner Kevin Nguyen purchased the property from Bradley Barnette (See Continuation Sheet
3).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Window fenestration throughout the property includes a mix of materials, primarily comprised of aluminum and wood-frame
windows. On the primary (west) façade, fenestration includes a pair of narrow casement windows to the north and floor-to-
ceiling fixed wood windows at the south corner near the main entrance. Below the southwest gable roof are two wood-frame
trapezoidal transoms (Figure 6). Window fenestration on the primary (south) façade includes a single wood-framed stained-
glass window, one tripartite aluminum-frame casement window, one double glass block window, and a jalousie window.
Remaining rear-facing window fenestration throughout the interior courtyard includes several sets of floor-to-ceiling aluminum
slider and fixed windows, large floor-to-ceiling fixed wood windows that span the façade and building corner, and a single
vinyl replacement slider window (Figure 7). The north (side) façade contains two sets of aluminum-frame casement windows
and one group of aluminum-frame transom casement and fixed windows. Additional architectural features include the use of
stonewall material that is applied on the central stonewall chimney, shallow front porch steps, and front yard planters; wood
shutters which flank the aluminum casement windows at the primary (west) façade; prominent window sill located on the
wood-frame windows and single jalousie window; three long beams extending past the gable’s end at the southwest gable;
and rear swimming pool (Figure 8). The property is landscaped with a front lawn, low shrubs, palm trees and tropical-themed
plants, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation.
*B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as
Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of
Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection
as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods
developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with
cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Brophy 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 Brophy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house cost $23,000 to build in
1957. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the
Mid-Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Mid-Century
Modern style exhibited by the house include its U-shaped plan; two primary (west and south) facades; asymmetrical design;
horizontal emphasis expressed through low-pitched, complex hipped roof with deep overhanging eaves; continuous fascia
that wraps around the building’s roofline; southwest gable roof with trapezoidal transoms; original windows and doors
consisting of aluminum and wood frames; one jalousie window; prominent window sill on wood-frame windows and one
jalousie window; stucco and stonewall cladding throughout; main entrance within front porch composed of double doors with
bronze doorknob ornamentation; stonewall chimney; stone-clad front porch steps and planter boxes; louvered privacy wall
with a rear yard entrance; attached garage; and front lawn with tropical landscaping.

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, and such design is compatible with

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