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 sometimes 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 Joy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Contemporary Modern -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.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1947 Property Type: Single-family residence Applicable Criteria: C13 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Joy House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional -style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1947 as a house consisting of six rooms and a detached garage at a cost of $8,000.00. The original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though the property may have been constructed by Coast Construction Company, which is indicated as the original owner. The earliest known occupants are Carroll H. and Donna Aloen (nee Miller) Joy, who, city directory listings show, lived at the address by 1949 (Ancestry.com 2011). Prior to the Joy family's acquisition of the subject property, Carroll was a decorated pilot during World War 11 and, in civilian life, owned a service station, before entering a career as an insurance agent (Santa Ana Register July 8, 1944; Santa Ana Register November 20, 1947; The Register August 7, 1955 ). In 1953, the Joys constructed an addition to the rear (north) of the residence. Donna served as president of the Spurgeon Parent Teacher Association in Santa Ana in 1959 (The Register March 7, 1959). In June 1966, Donna passed away (The Register June 6, 1966). Within three years of Donna's passing, the property was owned by the family of Charles R Bryan. City building permits show the Bryan family constructed an addition to the detached garage in 1972. The property remained in the possession of the Bryan family until at least as recently as 2016, when city building permit records show Dolly Bryan was the owner. The current owners, Laura Trudeau and Nicholas Timmons acquired the property in 2024. (See Continuation Sheet 3). B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *1312.

Description (continued): The secondary north facade, which fronts West Borchard Avenue, consists mainly of a rear addition to the residence (Figure 5). Clad entirely in stucco, the exterior on this fagade is punctuated by a series of 2-over-2 double -hung wood -sash windows, in addition to a small glass block light (Figure 6). Two windows are situated in a recess near the junction of the addition with the historic portion of the house (Figure 7). The south and west facades face the property's backyard, where they form a court. The facades facing the backyard feature stucco siding and wood sash windows in 2-over-2 hung and inwardly opening hopper configurations. Entrances are located near the juncture of the west and south facades, where two glazed wood doors face west and south, respectively (Figure 8). In addition, a non -original sliding glass door covers most of the west side of the rear addition (Figure 9). Situated at the far northern end of the parcel, the detached garage complements the historic appearance of the property (Figure 10). It is rectangular in plan, sheathed in stucco, and capped with gable -on -hip rood with exposed rafters and asphalt shingles. The non -original metal roll -up garage door faces a short driveway to the north, accessing W. Borchard Avenue. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, shrubs, palms, and various flowering plants. *1310. Significance (continued): The Joy House is located in Wilshire Square, a neighborhood located south of the city center and bounded by West McFadden Avenue on the north, West Edinger Avenue on the south, South Main Street on the east, and South Flower Street on the west. This area remained agricultural in use into the early twentieth century, the landscape dotted with walnut and orange groves. The 1912 plat map of Santa Ana showed South Main Street and Fairview Avenue (now McFadden Avenue) as the only streets in the area, with the majority of the property held by a few landowners: N. Palmer, H. K. Hanson, O'Brien, and Lewis. Development of Wilshire Square began circa 1923, when newspaper advertisements for newly subdivided lots costing between $635.00 and $1,875.00 boasted "five foot sidewalks, curbs, electricity, gas, sewer, city water and ornamental trees." By 1923, all of Flower, Garnsey, Van Ness, Ross, and Borchard and portions of the remaining streets had been laid out. Lathrop Junior High School, designed by architect Frederick Eley in 1921 (demolished circa 1970), was constructed on the southwest corner of Fairview and Main and became an anchor of the neighborhood. In 1925, over 65 homes had been built in Wilshire Square, according to a count of addresses listed in the city directories. A 1927 map indicated that the area was zoned for single-family residences, except the east side of Sycamore, which was set aside for "courts and apartments," apparently as a buffer for the "neighborhood business" zone on South Main Street. By 1930, maps of the City showed that, with the exception of a gap between Borchard and Edinger Avenues on Birch, Broadway, and Sycamore, all the streets in Wilshire Square were in place. Mapped by the Sanborn Company between 1931 and 1940, the neighborhood was substantially developed prior to the beginning of World War ll. Built in three phases, Wilshire Square primarily showcases the revival architectural styles popular during the first phase, circa 1923 to 1931, when 326 homes were built: variations of the Tudor Revival, the Spanish Colonial Revival, and the Colonial Revival. A handful of Craftsman bungalows completed the picture. A second phase, from 1935 to 1942, marked the recovery from the Great Depression and the war preparation years, and resulted in another 171 homes. The post World War 11 building boom added 91 homes, many in the newly popular California Ranch style. Enhanced by the canopies of mature trees that line many of the streets, Wilshire Square developed as a middle class neighborhood of white and blue collar workers. Homes were both owner and speculator built, and, regardless of style, are unified by their one-story height, scale, common setbacks, and the placement of detached garages in the rear of each property. Retaining these qualities today (2003), the neighborhood was recognized for excellence in urban design by the Orange County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1997. The Joy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional -style home in Santa Ana. Located in Wilshire Square, the house was constructed in 1947. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character -defining features of the house's original 1947 Minimal Traditional -style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main (south) facade composition; horizontal plank and stucco siding; gable -on -hip roof form; open eaves with exposed rounded rafters; historic glazed wood front door,- recessed front porch; two glass block windows along north facade; and 2-over-2 wood -sash hung windows.

Planning and Building Agency City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Historic Resources Commission Staff Report January 29, 2026 Topic: HRCA No. 2025-14, HRC No. 2025-11, HPPA No. 2025-12 — The Joy House (1402 S. Birch Street) RECOMMENDED ACTIONS 1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2025- 14 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2025-11; and 2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Laura Trudeau and Nicholas Timmons, for the property located at 1402 S. Birch Street, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Laura Trudeau and Nicholas Timmons are requesting approval to designate an existing Minimal Traditional -style residence located at 1412 S. Birch 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. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional -style house. It is worthy of "Contributive" categorization as it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Minimal Traditional style, including its gable -on -hip roof, exposed rounded rafters, and two -over -two wood -sash windows, among other features. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on a corner lot with Birch Street to the east and Borchard Avenue to the north, in the Wilshire Square neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 1,598-square-foot, Minimal Traditional -style residence and attached garage on an approximately 6,100-square-foot residential lot (Exhibits 3 and 4). HRCA No. 2025-12, HRC No. 2025-08, HPPA No. 2025-07— The Joy House (1402 S. Birch Street) January 29, 2026 Page 2 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, 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 SAMC (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 SAMC, as the structure is 78 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The Joy House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional - style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1947 as a house consisting of six rooms and a detached garage at a cost of $8,000.00. The original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though the property may have been constructed by Coast Construction Company, which is indicated as the original owner. The earliest known occupants are Carroll H. and Donna Aloen (nee Miller) Joy, who, city directory listings show, lived at the address by 1949 (Ancestry.com 2011). Prior to the Joy family's acquisition of the subject property, Carroll was a decorated pilot during World War II and, in civilian life, owned a service station, before entering a career as an insurance agent (Santa Ana Register July 8, 1944; Santa Ana Register November 20, 1947; The Register August 7, 1955 ). In 1953, the Joys constructed an addition to the rear (north) of the residence. Donna served as president of the Spurgeon Parent Teacher Association in Santa Ana in 1959 (The Register March 7, 1959). In June 1966, Donna passed away (The Register June 6, 1966). Within three years of Donna's passing, the property was owned by the family of Charles R. Bryan. City building permits show the Bryan family constructed an addition to the detached garage in 1972. The property remained in the possession of the Bryan family until at least as recently as 2016, when city building permit records show Dolly Bryan was the owner. The current owners, Laura Trudeau and Nicholas Timmons, acquired the property in 2024. Located on a corner parcel in the Wilshire Square neighborhood, the Joy House consists of a one-story, single-family residence and detached garage constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. The parcel is bounded on the west by Birch Street and on the north by HRCA No. 2025-12, HRC No. 2025-08, HPPA No. 2025-07— The Joy House (1402 S. Birch Street) January 29, 2026 Page 3 Borchard Avenue. The residence is L-planned, with exterior walls sheathed in horizontal plank siding and stucco and a principally gable —on -hip roof clad in asphalt shingles. The open, moderately wide roof overhangs include exposed rafters with rounded ends. Facing S. Birch Street to the west, the asymmetrical main facade is characterized by its recessed front porch, which includes a north -facing glazed wood front door and paired 2-over-2 wood -sash double -hung windows situated under the main slope of the roof. Most windows throughout the house are of a similar design. The secondary north facade, which fronts W. Borchard Avenue, consists mainly of a rear addition to the residence. Clad entirely in stucco, the exterior on this facade is punctuated by a series of 2-over-2 double -hung wood -sash windows, in addition to a small glass block light. Two windows are situated in a recess near the junction of the addition with the historic portion of the house. The south and west facades face the property's backyard, where they form a court. The facades facing the backyard feature stucco siding and wood sash windows in 2-over-2 hung and inwardly opening hopper configurations. Entrances are located near the juncture of the west and south facades, where two glazed wood doors face west and south, respectively. In addition, a non -original sliding glass door covers most of the west side of the rear addition. Situated at the far northern end of the parcel, the detached garage complements the historic appearance of the property (Figure 9). It is rectangular in plan, sheathed in stucco, and capped with gable -on -hip rood with exposed rafters and asphalt shingles. The non - original metal roll -up garage door faces a short driveway to the north, accessing Borchard Avenue. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, shrubs, palms, and various flowering plants. Character -defining features of the Minimal Traditional style exhibited by the house include, but are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main facade composition; horizontal plank and stucco siding; gable -on -hip roof form; open eaves with exposed rounded rafters; historic glazed wood front door; recessed front porch; and 2-over-2 wood -sash hung windows. The Joy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional - style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is Contributive because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood and is a good example of period 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 HRCA No. 2025-12, HRC No. 2025-08, HPPA No. 2025-07— The Joy House (1402 S. Birch Street) January 29, 2026 Page 4 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 and Planning Division staff during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: 1) assess plank siding for cracking and other damage and replace or repair in -kind with Planning Division staff approval; 2) assess condition of windows and replace in -kind, as necessary and with Planning Division staff approval; 3) trim vegetation on street -facing sides of the property to maintain a clear view of the property from the sidewalk; 4) reroof in -kind, with Planning Division staff approval; assess condition of exposed rafters and repair, as necessary with Planning Division staff approval; 5) assess paint and stucco throughout the residence and repair or replace, as necessary and with Planning Division staff approval; and 6) assess condition of hardscaping, including walkways, steps, porch, and other areas, and repair or replace with Planning Division staff approval. 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.

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 sometimes 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 Joy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Contemporary Modern -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.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1947 Property Type: Single-family residence Applicable Criteria: C13 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Joy House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional -style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1947 as a house consisting of six rooms and a detached garage at a cost of $8,000.00. The original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though the property may have been constructed by Coast Construction Company, which is indicated as the original owner. The earliest known occupants are Carroll H. and Donna Aloen (nee Miller) Joy, who, city directory listings show, lived at the address by 1949 (Ancestry.com 2011). Prior to the Joy family's acquisition of the subject property, Carroll was a decorated pilot during World War 11 and, in civilian life, owned a service station, before entering a career as an insurance agent (Santa Ana Register July 8, 1944; Santa Ana Register November 20, 1947; The Register August 7, 1955). In 1953, the Joys constructed an addition to the rear (north) of the residence. Donna served as president of the Spurgeon Parent Teacher Association in Santa Ana in 1959 (The Register March 7, 1959). In June 1966, Donna passed away (The Register June 6, 1966). Within three years of Donna's passing, the property was owned by the family of Charles R Bryan. City building permits show the Bryan family constructed an addition to the detached garage in 1972. The property remained in the possession of the Bryan family until at least as recently as 2016, when city building permit records show Dolly Bryan was the owner. The current owners, Laura Trudeau and Nicholas Timmons acquired the property in 2024. (See Continuation Sheet 3). B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *1312.

Description (continued): The secondary north fagade, which fronts West Borchard Avenue, consists mainly of a rear addition to the residence (Figure 5). Clad entirely in stucco, the exterior on this facade is punctuated by a series of 2-over-2 double -hung wood -sash windows, in addition to a small glass block light (Figure 6). Two windows are situated in a recess near the junction of the addition with the historic portion of the house (Figure 7). The south and west facades face the property's backyard, where they form a court. The facades facing the backyard feature stucco siding and wood sash windows in 2-over-2 hung and inwardly opening hopper configurations. Entrances are located near the juncture of the west and south facades, where two glazed wood doors face west and south, respectively (Figure 8). In addition, a non -original sliding glass door covers most of the west side of the rear addition (Figure 9). Situated at the far northern end of the parcel, the detached garage complements the historic appearance of the property (Figure 10). It is rectangular in plan, sheathed in stucco, and capped with gable -on -hip rood with exposed rafters and asphalt shingles. The non -original metal roll -up garage door faces a short driveway to the north, accessing W. Borchard Avenue. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, shrubs, palms, and various flowering plants. *1310. Significance (continued): The Joy House is located in Wilshire Square, a neighborhood located south of the city center and bounded by West McFadden Avenue on the north, West Edinger Avenue on the south, South Main Street on the east, and South Flower Street on the west. This area remained agricultural in use into the early twentieth century, the landscape dotted with walnut and orange groves. The 1912 plat map of Santa Ana showed South Main Street and Fairview Avenue (now McFadden Avenue) as the only streets in the area, with the majority of the property held by a few landowners: N. Palmer, H. K. Hanson, O'Brien, and Lewis. Development of Wilshire Square began circa 1923, when newspaper advertisements for newly subdivided lots costing between $635.00 and $1,875.00 boasted "five foot sidewalks, curbs, electricity, gas, sewer, city water and ornamental trees." By 1923, all of Flower, Garnsey, Van Ness, Ross, and Borchard and portions of the remaining streets had been laid out. Lathrop Junior High School, designed by architect Frederick Eley in 1921 (demolished circa 1970), was constructed on the southwest corner of Fairview and Main and became an anchor of the neighborhood. In 1925, over 65 homes had been built in Wilshire Square, according to a count of addresses listed in the city directories. A 1927 map indicated that the area was zoned for single-family residences, except the east side of Sycamore, which was set aside for "courts and apartments," apparently as a buffer for the "neighborhood business" zone on South Main Street. By 1930, maps of the City showed that, with the exception of a gap between Borchard and Edinger Avenues on Birch, Broadway, and Sycamore, all the streets in Wilshire Square were in place. Mapped by the Sanborn Company between 1931 and 1940, the neighborhood was substantially developed prior to the beginning of World War ll. Built in three phases, Wilshire Square primarily showcases the revival architectural styles popular during the first phase, circa 1923 to 1931, when 326 homes were built: variations of the Tudor Revival, the Spanish Colonial Revival, and the Colonial Revival. A handful of Craftsman bungalows completed the picture. A second phase, from 1935 to 1942, marked the recovery from the Great Depression and the war preparation years, and resulted in another 171 homes. The post World War 11 building boom added 91 homes, many in the newly popular California Ranch style. Enhanced by the canopies of mature trees that line many of the streets, Wilshire Square developed as a middle class neighborhood of white and blue collar workers. Homes were both owner and speculator built, and, regardless of style, are unified by their one-story height, scale, common setbacks, and the placement of detached garages in the rear of each property. Retaining these qualities today (2003), the neighborhood was recognized for excellence in urban design by the Orange County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1997. The Joy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Minimal Traditional -style home in Santa Ana. Located in Wilshire Square, the house was constructed in 1947. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character -defining features of the house's original 1947 Minimal Traditional -style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main (south) facade composition; horizontal plank and stucco siding; gable -on -hip roof form; open eaves with exposed rounded rafters; historic glazed wood front door; recessed front porch; two glass block windows along north facade; and 2-over-2 wood -sash hung windows.

C. Within 30 days from receipt of City's notice of nonrenewal, the Owner may file a written protest of City's decision of nonrenewal. The City may, at any time prior to the annual renewal date of the Agreement, withdraw its notice to the Owner of nonrenewal. d.

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 Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half (12 1/2) 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. Enforcement of Agreement. a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner, the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the -4- MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 2424 North Oakmont Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate. b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided for in this Agreement or in City's regulations governing historic properties are available to City to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder. 7. Binding effect of Agreement. a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 2424 North Oakmont Avenue, Assessor Parcel Number, 003-092-40, and more particularly described in Exhibit A, in the City of Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement. b.

Beginning in the second half of the 1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War II, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism of the previous half -century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds; pseudo-quoined corners; multi -paned casement or double -hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or octagonal accent windows; and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. A hipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period —wood, brick, stone, and stucco —although stucco came to be used more frequently than before. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Halsell-Bricken House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Coloial Revival -style home in Santa Ana and under Criterion 4, due to associations with the property's original owner, Oliver L.Halsell, who is significant as a central figure in the founding of Santa Anas Fairhaven Memorial Park. The recommended categorization is "Landmark" because it hass a distinctive architectural style and quality and is is associated with a significant person in the city (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Halsell-Bricken House is a highly intact example of a one -to -two-story, Colonial Revival -style, single-family residence with two detached ancillary buildings and a Hollywood driveway (Figure 1). The residence is characterized by a rough L-plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and principally stucco exterior cladding, augmented with wood lap siding on the second story of the primary (east) fagade. Architectural detailing is concentrated on the primary fagade, as typified by the recessed main entrance. At that location, a Classically inspired molded surround features fluted pilasters appearing to support a broken pediment with prominent dentils and a finial (Figure 2). Within the recess the walls are embellished with a simple rectangular molding, while operable sidelights flank the wood -panel front door and a wrought iron lamp is suspended from the ceiling. Other details include Classically inspired molding on the bay window to the left of the entrance (Figure 3), a small balconet on the wood -clad second story (Figure 4), and a fluted belt course. Windows on the primary fagade are varied; in addition to the aforementioned bay window, the main exterior includes a multi -light porthole window, segmental arch multi -light window with ornamental shutters, and multi -light double hung wood sash and casement windows (Figure 5). The rear and side elevations are comparatively restrained in appearance (Figure 6). These areas are characterized by stucco cladding and multi -light double -hung wood -sash windows. At the rear court, a trio of non -original glazed double doors opens from the west fagade of the single -story mass (Figure 7). The adjacent patio is enclosed with a four -foot -high stuccoed wall with wood -plank gates at three locations. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1937 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 Halsell-Bricken House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Colonial Revival -style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated May 25, 1937, and indicates the property was developed as a residence and garage for owner Oliver L. Halsell, at a value of $7,000. The original architect and contractor are unknown. Halsell played a central role in the development of Santa Ana's Fairhaven Memorial Park, which at the time of its opening in 1911, was notable locally for its park -like planning (Tours Through History 2024). In the 1920s and 1930s, Halsell served an officer of the Santora Company, a Santa Ana -based land development firm responsible for constructing numerous commercial properties and establishing many residential subdivisions in Santa Ana and Orange County. In his duties with Santora, Halsell served as "tract manager" of the Oakmont Park tract, in which the Halsell-Bricken House is located. Originally platted for residential development in 1923, the tract was touted at the time of its initial development as one of a few areas of "high class residence construction" in the city (Santa Ana Daily Register November 8, 1923). Halsell remained at the subject property until his death in 1954. Upon his passing, Halsell's estate was transferred to the Halsell Foundation, which he established "for the cultural and religious benefit of the people of Orange County" (The Register October 26, 1954). The Halsell Foundation remains in operation to this day. (Continued on page 3 of 6.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *1312. References: Ancestry.com.

Description (continued): There are two buildings at the rear of the property, the original detached garage and a shop building constructed circa 1991. The detached garage was constructed in a style similar to the residence (Figure 8). It has a rectangular plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and stucco siding. A non -original metal roll -up garage door is located on the main (east) fagade, opening toward a concrete -paved Hollywood driveway leading to Oakmont Avenue (Figure 9). There are three additional entrances, which feature two glazed wood -panel doors and one glazed solid wood door. A double -hung wood -sash window is located on the west fagade. The shop building has a rectangular plan, flat roof, and stucco siding (Figure 10). It is accessed via a metal roll -up garage door (south fagade) and a glazed wood standard door (east elevation). Two horizontally sliding aluminum -sash windows are located on the east elevation. A flat -roof shelter extends from the shop's east elevation, covering nearly all the concrete - paved area between the shop building and detached garage. The front yard is landscaped with a broad lawn and various shrubs and mature trees, while the back yard features lawns, ornamental plants, and a citrus tree. *1310. Significance (continued): City directories and newspaper articles show that by 1960, F.H. Schroeder lived at this address, followed by David Schroeder (The Tustin News January 23, 1969). Gordon and Maureen Bricken acquired and moved onto the property by 1973, living there into the twenty-first century. Gordon had a two -decade career in local politics, serving on the City's Planning Commission from 1964 to 1974, the City Council in the 1970s and 1980s, and as mayor from 1981 to 1983 (Los Angeles Times June 28, 2023). During his tenure as mayor, his leadership was linked to such projects as the Orange County World Trade Center, Santa Ana Train Station, and more generally, the "revitalization"of the Civic Center area (Los Angeles Times June 28, 2013). City planning records show, the property's current owners and residents Tilly Gurman and Lance Uradomo took ownership of the property in 2023. The Halsell-Bricken House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and ca rpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War 11. The Halsell-Bricken House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criteria 1 and 4. Under Criterion 1, the property is eligible as a good and intact example of a Colonial Revival -style house in Santa Ana. Located in Park Santiago, the house cost $7, 000 to build in 1937. The recommended categorization is "landmark" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as a Colonial Revival -style residence (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2.1). DPR 523L State of California —The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 4 of 7 Resource Name: Halsell-Bricken House *Recorded by James Williams "Date January 29, 2026 El Continuation ❑ Update *1310. Significance (continued): The Halsell-Bricken House also qualifies for listing under Criterion 4, due to its associations with its original owner, Oliver L. Halsell. Halsell is credited as a central figure in the 1911 founding of Fairhaven Memorial Park, whose park -like landscape design reflected a new and influential approach in the development of cemeteries in the United States in the early twentieth century. The property remains in use for burials, its longevity a testament to Halsell's forward -looking mindset. Although Halsell enjoyed a highly successful career in real estate development, no information uncovered in research for this evaluation found that his contributions within the Santora Company stand out as individually significant or outweigh those of other officers of the company; as such his accomplishments with the Santora Company do contribute to the property's significance under Criterion 4. The recommended categorization for the property under this criterion is also "Landmark" because the property is associated with a significant person in the city (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2.1). Regarding the potential historical significance of Gordon Bricken, although his career in public service is connected to such major projects as the Orange County World Trade Center and the Santa Ana Train Station, there is not sufficient secondary source material pertaining to his career to ascertain the details of his participation in these projects or the importance of the projects themselves. While future research may find that the Halsell-Bricken House is also significant for its associations with Bricken, no definitive conclusions can be made at the time of this evaluation. The character -defining features of the Halsell-Bricken House are those of the original construction of the residence and which convey the property's Colonial Revival -style design. They include, but may not be limited to: L-plan; one -to -two-story massing; asymmetrical primary (west) fagade; moderately -pitched hipped roof; original wood -sash windows of multiple configurations (double -hung, casement, fixed, and porthole); stucco and wood -plank wall cladding; entrance featuring Classically inspired molded surround featuring fluted pilasters, broken pediment with prominent dentils, and finial; wood - panel front door with operable sidelights; and wrought iron porch lamp, Classically inspired molding on the bay windows and other primary -elevation locations; second -story balconet; and a fluted belt course; deep setback with a large front lawn; and Hollywood driveway. *1312.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lance Uradomo and Tilly Gurman (property owners and applicants) are requesting approval to designate an existing Colonial Revival -style residence located at 2424 N. Oakmont 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 Colonial Revival -style house and under Criterion 4, due to its associations with real estate developer Oliver L. Halsell, who was notable for playing a central role in the establishment of Fairhaven Memorial Park. The property is worthy of "Key" categorization because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as a Colonial Revival -style residence and is associated with a significant person in Santa Ana's history. The property's character -defining features relate to the original construction of the residence and include, but are not necessarily limited to, its two-story massing, hipped roof, horizontal wood -plank and stucco siding, existing original windows, molded Classically inspired details at the front entrance and elsewhere on the primary (east) elevation. HRCA No. 2024-11, HRC No. 2024-09, HPPA No. 2024-13 — Halsell House (2424 N. Oakmont Avenue) January 29, 2026 Page 2 DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on the west side of the 2400 block of N. Oakmont Avenue in the Park Santiago neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 2,600-square-foot residence, in addition to a detached garage and detached shop building, on an 18,700- 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, 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 88 years old, is a sound example of period architecture, and is associated with a significant individual in Santa Ana history. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The Halsell House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Colonial Revival - style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated May 25, 1937, and indicates the property was developed as a residence and garage for owner Oliver L. Halsell, at a value of $7,000. The original architect and contractor are unknown. Halsell played a central role in the development of Santa Ana's Fairhaven Memorial Park, which at the time of its opening in 1911, was notable locally for its park -like planning. In the 1920s and 1930s, Halsell served an officer of the Santora Company, a Santa Ana - based land development firm responsible for constructing numerous commercial properties and establishing many residential subdivisions in Santa Ana and Orange County. Among his duties with Santora, Halsell served as "tract manager" of the Oakmont Park tract, in which the Halsell House is located. Originally platted for residential development in 1923, the tract was touted at the time of its initial development as one of HRCA No. 2024-11, HRC No. 2024-09, HPPA No. 2024-13 — Halsell House (2424 N. Oakmont Avenue) January 29, 2026 Page 3 a few areas of "high class residence construction" in the city (Santa Ana Daily Register November 8, 1923). Halsell remained at the subject property until his death in 1954. Upon his passing, Halsell's estate was transferred to the Halsell Foundation, which he established "for the cultural and religious benefit of the people of Orange County" (The Register October 26, 1954). The Halsell Foundation remains in operation to this day. City directories and newspaper articles show that by 1960, F.H. Schroeder lived at this address, followed by David Schroeder. Gordon and Maureen Bricken acquired and moved into the property by 1973, living there into the 21 st century. Gordon had a two - decade career in local politics, serving on the City's Planning Commission from 1964 to 1974, on the City Council in the 1970s and 1980s, and as mayor from 1981 to 1983. During his tenure as mayor, his leadership was linked to such projects as the Orange County World Trade Center, Santa Ana Train Station, and more generally, the "revitalization" of the Civic Center area (Los Angeles Times June 28, 2013). City planning records show the property's current owners and residents Tilly Gurman Lance and Uradomo took ownership of the property in 2023. The Halsell House is a highly intact example of a one -to -two-story, Colonial Revival -style, single-family residence with two detached ancillary buildings. The residence is characterized by a rough L-plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and principally stucco exterior cladding, augmented with wood lap siding on the second story of the primary (east) fagade. Architectural detailing is concentrated on the primary fagade, as typified by the recessed main entrance. At that location, a Classically inspired molded surround features fluted pilasters appearing to support a broken pediment with prominent dentils and a finial. Within the recess the walls are embellished with a simple rectangular molding, while operable sidelights flank the wood -panel front door and a wrought iron lamp is suspended from the ceiling. Other details include Classically inspired molding on the bay window to the left of the entrance, a small balconet on the wood -clad second story, and a fluted belt course. Windows on the primary fagade are varied; in addition to the aforementioned bay window, the main exterior includes a multi -light porthole window, segmental arch multi -light window with ornamental shutters, and multi -light double -hung wood sash and casement windows. The rear and side elevations are comparatively restrained in appearance. These areas are characterized by stucco cladding and multi -light double -hung wood -sash windows. At the rear court, a trio of non -original glazed double doors opens from the west fagade of the single -story mass. The adjacent patio is enclosed with a four -foot -high stuccoed wall with wood -plank gates at three locations. There are two buildings at the rear of the property, the original detached garage and a shop building constructed circa 1991. The detached garage was constructed in a style similar to the residence (Figure 8). It has a rectangular plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and stucco siding. A non -original metal roll -up garage door is located on the main (east) fagade, opening toward a concrete -paved driveway leading to HRCA No. 2024-11, HRC No. 2024-09, HPPA No. 2024-13 — Halsell House (2424 N. Oakmont Avenue) January 29, 2026 Page 4 Oakmont Avenue. There are three additional entrances, which feature two glazed wood - panel doors and one glazed solid wood door. A double -hung wood -sash window is located on the west fagade. The shop building has a rectangular plan, flat roof, and stucco siding (Figure 9). It is accessed via a metal roll -up garage door (south facade) and a glazed wood standard door (east elevation). Two horizontally sliding aluminum -sash windows are located on the east elevation. A flat -roof shelter extends from the shop's east elevation, covering nearly all the concrete -paved area between the shop building and detached garage. The front yard is landscaped with a broad lawn and various shrubs and mature trees, while the back -yard features lawns, ornamental plants, and a citrus tree. The Halsell House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criteria 1 and 4. Under Criterion 1, the property is eligible as an intact example of a Colonial Revival -style house in Santa Ana. Located in Park Santiago, the house cost $7,000 to build in 1937 and retains most of its original features. The recommended categorization is "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as a Colonial Revival -style residence (SAMC Section 30-2.2.2). The Halsell House also qualifies for listing under Criterion 4, due to its associations with its original owner, Oliver L. Halsell. Halsell is credited as a central figure in the 1911 founding of Fairhaven Memorial Park, whose park -like landscape design reflected a new and influential approach in the development of cemeteries in the United States in the early twentieth century. The property remains in use for burials, its longevity a testament to Halsell's forward -looking mindset. Although Halsell enjoyed a highly successful career in real estate development, no information uncovered in research for this evaluation found that his contributions within the Santora Company stand out as individually significant or outweigh those of other officers of the company; as such his accomplishments with the Santora Company do contribute to the property's significance under Criterion 4. The recommended categorization for the property under this criterion is also "Key" because the property is associated with a significant person in the city (SAMC Section 30-2.2.2). The character -defining features of the Halsell House are those of the original construction of the residence and which convey the property's Colonial Revival -style design. They include, but may not be limited to: L-plan; one -to -two-story massing; asymmetrical primary (west) fapade; moderately -pitched hipped roof; original wood -sash windows of multiple configurations (double -hung, casement, fixed, and porthole); stucco and wood - plank wall cladding; entrance featuring Classically inspired molded surround featuring fluted pilasters, broken pediment with prominent dentils, and finial; wood -panel front door with operable sidelights; and wrought iron porch lamp, Classically inspired molding on the bay windows and other primary -elevation locations; second -story balconet; and a fluted belt course; deep setback with a large front lawn. HRCA No. 2024-11, HRC No. 2024-09, HPPA No. 2024-13 — Halsell House (2424 N. Oakmont Avenue) January 29, 2026 Page 5 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: 1) trim and maintain landscaping as necessary to maintain a view of the primary (east) fagade from the public right-of-way, including the large trees adjacent to the east elevation; 2) repair or replace damaged rain gutter on the east fagade of the detached garage; 3) replace non -original metal roll -up garage door with a garage door of stylistically appropriate material, subject to Planning Division staff approval; 4) assess condition of windows and window trim throughout the property and repair or replace in -kind, as necessary with Planning Division staff approval; 5) assess condition of wall cladding throughout the property and repair or replace in -kind as necessary with Planning Division staff approval; and 6) assess condition of roofs of residence and ancillary buildings and re -roof in -kind as necessary with Planning Division staff approval. 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. HRCA No. 2024-11, HRC No. 2024-09, HPPA No. 2024-13 — Halsell House (2424 N. Oakmont Avenue) January 29, 2026 Page 6 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.

Beginning in the second half of the 1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War II, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism of the previous half -century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds; pseudo-quoined corners; multi -paned casement or double -hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or octagonal accent windows; and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. A hipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period —wood, brick, stone, and stucco —although stucco came to be used more frequently than before. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Halsell-Bricken House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Coloial Revival -style home in Santa Ana and under Criterion 4, due to associations with the property's original owner, Oliver L.Halsell, who is significant as a central figure in the founding of Santa Anas Fairhaven Memorial Park. The recommended categorization is "Landmark" because it hass a distinctive architectural style and quality and is is associated with a significant person in the city (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The Halsell-Bricken House is a highly intact example of a one -to -two-story, Colonial Revival -style, single-family residence with two detached ancillary buildings and a Hollywood driveway (Figure 1). The residence is characterized by a rough L-plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and principally stucco exterior cladding, augmented with wood lap siding on the second story of the primary (east) facade. Architectural detailing is concentrated on the primary facade, as typified by the recessed main entrance. At that location, a Classically inspired molded surround features fluted pilasters appearing to support a broken pediment with prominent dentils and a finial (Figure 2). Within the recess the walls are embellished with a simple rectangular molding, while operable sidelights flank the wood -panel front door and a wrought iron lamp is suspended from the ceiling. Other details include Classically inspired molding on the bay window to the left of the entrance (Figure 3), a small balconet on the wood -clad second story (Figure 4), and a fluted belt course. Windows on the primary facade are varied; in addition to the aforementioned bay window, the main exterior includes a multi -light porthole window, segmental arch multi -light window with ornamental shutters, and multi -light double hung wood sash and casement windows (Figure 5). The rear and side elevations are comparatively restrained in appearance (Figure 6). These areas are characterized by stucco cladding and multi -light double -hung wood -sash windows. At the rear court, a trio of non -original glazed double doors opens from the west facade of the single -story mass (Figure 7). The adjacent patio is enclosed with a four -foot -high stuccoed wall with wood -plank gates at three locations. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1937 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 Halsell-Bricken House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Colonial Revival -style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated May 25, 1937, and indicates the property was developed as a residence and garage for owner Oliver L. Halsell, at a value of $7, 000. The original architect and contractor are unknown. Halsell played a central role in the development of Santa Ana's Fairhaven Memorial Park, which at the time of its opening in 1911, was notable locally for its park -like planning (Tours Through History 2024). In the 1920s and 1930s, Halsell served an officer of the Santora Company, a Santa Ana -based land development firm responsible for constructing numerous commercial properties and establishing many residential subdivisions in Santa Ana and Orange County. In his duties with Santora, Halsell served as "tract manager" of the Oakmont Park tract, in which the Halsell-Bricken House is located. Originally platted for residential development in 1923, the tract was touted at the time of its initial development as one of a few areas of "high class residence construction" in the city (Santa Ana Daily Register November 8, 1923). Halsell remained at the subject property until his death in 1954. Upon his passing, Halsell's estate was transferred to the Halsell Foundation, which he established "for the cultural and religious benefit of the people of Orange County" (The Register October 26, 1954). The Halsell Foundation remains in operation to this day. (Continued on page 3 of 6.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *1312. References: Ancestry.com.

Description (continued): There are two buildings at the rear of the property, the original detached garage and a shop building constructed circa 1991. The detached garage was constructed in a style similar to the residence (Figure 8). It has a rectangular plan, hipped roof with asphalt shingles and slight eaves, and stucco siding. A non -original metal roll -up garage door is located on the main (east) fagade, opening toward a concrete -paved Hollywood driveway leading to Oakmont Avenue (Figure 9). There are three additional entrances, which feature two glazed wood -panel doors and one glazed solid wood door. A double -hung wood -sash window is located on the west fagade. The shop building has a rectangular plan, flat roof, and stucco siding (Figure 10). It is accessed via a metal roll -up garage door (south fagade) and a glazed wood standard door (east elevation). Two horizontally sliding aluminum -sash windows are located on the east elevation. A flat -roof shelter extends from the shop's east elevation, covering nearly all the concrete - paved area between the shop building and detached garage. The front yard is landscaped with a broad lawn and various shrubs and mature trees, while the back yard features lawns, ornamental plants, and a citrus tree. *1310. Significance (continued): City directories and newspaper articles show that by 1960, F.H. Schroeder lived at this address, followed by David Schroeder (The Tustin News January 23, 1969). Gordon and Maureen Bricken acquired and moved onto the property by 1973, living there into the twenty-first century. Gordon had a two -decade career in local politics, serving on the City's Planning Commission from 1964 to 1974, the City Council in the 1970s and 1980s, and as mayor from 1981 to 1983 (Los Angeles Times June 28, 2023). During his tenure as mayor, his leadership was linked to such projects as the Orange County World Trade Center, Santa Ana Train Station, and more generally, the "revitalization"of the Civic Center area (Los Angeles Times June 28, 2013). City planning records show, the property's current owners and residents Tilly Gurman and Lance Uradomo took ownership of the property in 2023. The Halsell-Bricken House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and ca rpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War Il. The Halsell-Bricken House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criteria 1 and 4. Under Criterion 1, the property is eligible as a good and intact example of a Colonial Revival -style house in Santa Ana. Located in Park Santiago, the house cost $7, 000 to build in 1937. The recommended categorization is "landmark" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as a Colonial Revival -style residence (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2.1).

Significance (continued): The Halsell-Bricken House also qualifies for listing under Criterion 4, due to its associations with its original owner, Oliver L. Halsell. Halsell is credited as a central figure in the 1911 founding of Fairhaven Memorial Park, whose park -like landscape design reflected a new and influential approach in the development of cemeteries in the United States in the early twentieth century. The property remains in use for burials, its longevity a testament to Halsell's forward -looking mindset. Although Halsell enjoyed a highly successful career in real estate development, no information uncovered in research for this evaluation found that his contributions within the Santora Company stand out as individually significant or outweigh those of other officers of the company; as such his accomplishments with the Santora Company do contribute to the property's significance under Criterion 4. The recommended categorization for the property under this criterion is also "Landmark" because the property is associated with a significant person in the city (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2.1). Regarding the potential historical significance of Gordon Bricken, although his career in public service is connected to such major projects as the Orange County World Trade Center and the Santa Ana Train Station, there is not sufficient secondary source material pertaining to his career to ascertain the details of his participation in these projects or the importance of the projects themselves. While future research may find that the Halsell-Bricken House is also significant for its associations with Bricken, no definitive conclusions can be made at the time of this evaluation. The character -defining features of the Halsell-Bricken House are those of the original construction of the residence and which convey the property's Colonial Revival -style design. They include, but may not be limited to: L-plan; one -to -two-story massing; asymmetrical primary (west) fagade; moderately -pitched hipped roof; original wood -sash windows of multiple configurations (double -hung, casement, fixed, and porthole); stucco and wood -plank wall cladding; entrance featuring Classically inspired molded surround featuring fluted pilasters, broken pediment with prominent dentils, and finial; wood - panel front door with operable sidelights; and wrought iron porch lamp, Classically inspired molding on the bay windows and other primary -elevation locations; second -story balconet; and a fluted belt course; deep setback with a large front lawn; and Hollywood driveway. *1312.
