DISCUSSION
On March 5, 2026, the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) recommended that the
City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Mills Act agreements listed in
Table 1, above, with the identified property owners for historic structures in the City,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. This
action allows for the approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA/Mills
Act Contract) which provide a property tax reduction whereby property owners agree to
reinvest the tax savings towards the maintenance of the historic property. Additionally,
the agreements prevent inappropriate alterations to the protected historic structures.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed projects are
exempt from further review. Categorical Exemptions, Environmental Review Nos. 2026-
13 and 2026-12, will be filed for these projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreements will reduce the Property Tax revenue
account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $2,229 annually, as noted below,
for a period of not less than ten years.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted
❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common
in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although
small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was
associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The E.A. Noe House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Tudor Revival-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. (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Located on a mid-block parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood, the E.A. Noe House consists of a one-story, single-family
residence and detached garage constructed in a Tudor Revival style (Figure 1). The parcel is bounded on the west by North
Greenleaf Street and on the north, south, and east by private property. The one-story residence has an irregular plan and a
concrete foundation. The roof is cross-gabled and clad in concrete tiles and generally has broad, closed eaves with exposed
beams. Exterior walls are sheathed primarily in brick, with stucco applied to the gables and rear elevation. Facing North
Greenleaf Street to the west, the asymmetrical main fagade is characterized by a wing-and-gable form and a recessed porch
sheltered by an extension of the roof and an uncovered concrete patio enclosed by a brick-clad pony wall. The main entrance
has a solid wood door with a single pane of glass at the center. Windows on the main elevation include a large wood frame
tripartite window with a central fixed pane window flanked by two six-over-one double hung, wood sash windows with divided
light transoms and a second window within the front gable with a wood frame fixed pane and six panes of glass (Figure 2).
Additionally, the west fagade features two sets of wood frame French doors, which open to the concrete patio (Figure 3).

(Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,period,and geographic scope. Also address integrity)
The E.A. Noe House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1925 with a residence and a detached garage at a cost of
$5,000.00. The original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though a 1925 newspaper article identified
Noe as the general contractor of the property (The Register 1925). The article described the property as a `residence and
garage, brick veneer, shingle and comp. roof" (The Register 1925). Newspapers identify Noe working as a contractor in
Santa Ana since circa 1914 constructing mostly single- and multi-family residences in various styles popular at the time
including Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Tudor Revival(The Register 1914). He constructed the adjacent properties to the
subject property on Greenleaf Street including 2109 and 2121 Greenleaf Street and was listed in a 1919 The Register
newspaper article as a "Builder of Fine Bungalows, Residences, and Garages, 2109 Greenleaf St."(The Register 1919 and
1925).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Secondary facades generally feature brick walls punctuated by one-over-one double hung, wood sash windows and a steel
frame bay window with small casement windows on the north and south sides (Figure 4). The property has an east-trending
extension with a flat roof and stucco exterior. The extension has wood sash fixed pane and casement windows, one of which
is covered by an awning. The south elevation features a second entrance with a wood paneled door and window accessible
by concrete steps and a small concrete patio enclosed by concrete pony walls;the entrance sits under an awning(Figure 5).
The east elevation features two small, fixed pane windows, a small bay window with a hipped roof clad in wood shake singles
with a central wood frame fixed pane window with six lites flanked by casement windows with three lites, and a set of wood
French doors accessed by brick steps and covered by an open lattice patio cover added in 1990(Figure 6 and 7).
At the rear, western end of the property is a detached garage constructed in 1988. Leading to the garage is a former
Hollywood driveway not completely paved with concrete. The two-story garage is rectangular in plan on a concrete
foundation and capped with a steeply pitched front gabled roof clad in composition shingles with enclosed eaves (Figure 8).
The exterior is clad in stucco and brick. On the west, primary fagade are two large openings with metal roll-up garage doors,
an entrance with a glazed wood door, and two vinyl sash windows at the second floor. The north elevation has a second
entrance with a paneled door and vinyl sash window. Landscaping at the property includes front and back lawns, mature
trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
*1310. Significance(continued):
Noe lived on the property until 1926 when Joseph B. and Virginia H. Head purchased the property(The Register 1926a and
1926b). Shortly after purchasing the property, Virginia passed away, but Joseph and their two children, David and Frances,
and his second wife, Lula, and their daughter Mary Jean, lived at the property until circa 1962. Born in Kansas, Joseph
moved to Orange County in 1905 and eventually owned Arrowhead Laundry at 61 and Porter Streets for 15 years (The
Register 1962). David fought in World War 11 in the 11 t'Airborne Division as a paratrooper, and Joseph's second wife Lula
taught at Logan School for 20 years before retiring in 1946(The Register 1945 and 1946). During Joseph's ownership of the
property, he altered the property twice: in 1933 he applied for a permit to rebuild the chimney and in 1941 to re-roof the
residence (City of Santa Ana 1933 and 1941, The Register 1933). In 1983, M.A. McAlpin owned the property, but no
additional information was identified on McAlpin (Los Angeles Times 1983). The current owners, Travis Beck Allen-Walter
and Charles Reuben Allen-Walter, acquired the property from Fili Moala and Jordan Moala, husband and wife, in 2024.
The E.A. Noe House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, walnut trees and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922. `Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.And that month, he began
building custom homes in Santa Ana"(Orange County Register 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision
between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and
expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register 1981). Revival architecture in a wide
variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor,
French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such
notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the E/ Toro Marine Base during World War Il, and the
1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In 1937, Roy Rodney Russell,joined his father's firm and by 1945 it was renamed as
Roy Russell and Son. In the early post-World War /l years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller,
single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low,
horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today, Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier
neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The E.A. Noe House is a contributor to the Floral Park Historic District. Additionally, the E.A. Noe House qualifies for listing in
the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style home in Santa
Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1925. 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 1925 Tudor Revival-style construction
include, but are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main (west) facade composition;brick and stucco siding; steeply

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.

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 101 years old and is a sound example of period architecture.
No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The E.A. Noe House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-
style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was
constructed in 1925 with a residence and a detached garage at a cost of $5,000. The
original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though a 1925
newspaper article identified Noe as the general contractor of the property (The Register
1925). The article described the property as a "residence and garage, brick veneer,
shingle and comp. roof' (The Register 1925). Newspapers identify Noe working as a
contractor in Santa Ana since circa 1914 constructing mostly single- and multi-family
residences in various styles popular at the time including Craftsman, Spanish Revival,
and Tudor Revival (The Register 1914). He constructed the adjacent properties to the
subject property on Greenleaf Street including 2109 and 2121 N. Greenleaf Street and
was listed in a 1919 The Register newspaper article as a "Builder of Fine Bungalows,
Residences, and Garages, 2109 Greenleaf St." (The Register 1919 and 1925).
Noe lived on the property until 1926 when Joseph B. and Virginia H. Head purchased the
property that same year (The Register 1926a and 1926b). Shortly after purchasing the
property, Virginia passed away, but Joseph and their two children, David and Frances,
and his second wife, Lula, and their daughter Mary Jean, lived at the property until circa
1962. Born in Kansas, Joseph moved to Orange County in 1905 and eventually owned
Arrowhead Laundry at 6th and Porter Streets for 15 years (The Register 1962). David
fought in World War II in the 11th Airborne Division as a paratrooper, and Joseph's second
wife Lula taught at Logan School for 20 years before retiring in 1946 (The Register 1945
and 1946). During Joseph's ownership of the property, he altered the property twice: in

1933 he applied for a permit to rebuild the chimney and in 1941 to re-roof the residence
(City of Santa Ana 1933 and 1941, The Register 1933). In 1983, M.A. McAlpin owned the
property, but no additional information was identified on McAlpin (Los Angeles Times
1983). The current owners, Travis Beck Allen-Walter and Charles Reuben Allen-Walter,
acquired the property from Fili Moala and Jordan Moala, husband and wife, in 2024. In
2023, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing
property to the Floral Park National Register Historic District.
Located on a mid-block parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood, the E.A. Noe House
consists of a one-story, single-family residence and detached garage constructed in a
Tudor Revival style. The parcel is bounded on the west by North Greenleaf Street and on
the north, south, and east by private property. The one-story residence has an irregular
plan and a concrete foundation. The roof is cross-gabled and clad in concrete tiles and
generally has broad, closed eaves with exposed beams.
Exterior walls sheathed in brick throughout and stucco within the gables and rear
elevation. Facing North Greenleaf Street to the west, the asymmetrical main fagade is
characterized by a wing-and-gable form and a recessed porch sheltered by an extension
of the roof and an uncovered concrete patio enclosed by a brick-clad pony wall. The main
entrance has a solid wood door with a single pane of glass at the center. Windows on the
main elevation include a large wood frame tripartite window with a central fixed pane
flanked by two six-over-one double hung sash windows with divided light transoms and a
second window within the front gable with a wood frame fixed pane and six panes of
glass. Additionally, the west fagade features two sets of wood frame French doors which
open to the concrete patio.
Secondary facades generally feature brick walls punctuated by one-over-one wood frame
double hung sash windows and a steel frame bay window with small casement windows
on the north and south sides. The property has an east-trending extension with a flat roof
and stucco exterior. The extension has wood sash fixed pane and casement windows,
one of which is covered by an awning. The south elevation features a second entrance
with a wood paneled door and sash window accessible by concrete steps and a small
concrete patio enclosed by concrete pone walls; the entrance sits under an awning. The
east elevation features two small, fixed pane windows, a small bay window with a hipped
roof clad in wood shake shingles with a central wood frame fixed pane window with six
lites flanked by casement windows with three lites, and a set of wood frame French doors
accessed by brick steps and covered by an open lattice patio cover added in 1990.
At the rear, western end of the property is a detached garage constructed in 1988. The
two-story garage is rectangular in plan on a concrete foundation and capped with a
steeply pitched front gabled roof clad in composition shingles with enclosed eaves. The
exterior is clad in stucco and brick. On the west, primary fagade are two large openings
with metal roll-up garage doors, an entrance with a glazed wood frame door, and two

vinyl sash windows at the second floor. The north elevation has a second entrance with
a paneled door and vinyl sash window. Landscaping at the property includes front and
back lawns, mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
Character-defining features of the Tudor Revival style exhibited by the house include, but
are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main (west)facade composition; brick and
stucco siding; steeply pitched cross-gabled roof form; closed eaves with exposed beams;
historic glazed wood front door; recessed front porch and uncovered front patio; tripartite
window on the west facade; and one-over-one wood-sash hung windows throughout. The
E.A. Noe House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-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
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).
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 and Planning
Division staff during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following:
1) assess paint and stucco siding for cracking and other damage; replace or repair in-

kind with staff approval; 2) update driveway gate columns to match house stucco and
Tudor Revival style with staff approval; 3) inspect and repair chimney; 4) assess condition
of windows and French doors; replace in-kind, as necessary with staff approval; 5) trim
vegetation on street-facing sides of the property to maintain a clear view of the property
from the sidewalk; 6) assess condition of hardscaping, including walkways, steps,
porches, and other areas, and repair or replace with staff approval; and 7) inspect roof
and replace in-kind if needed, with staff approval; assess condition of exposed beams
and repair as necessary, with 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.

notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all
property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no
correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of the
public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines,
the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA
Guidelines (Class 31 — Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions
are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of
Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2026-13, will be filed for this project.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3
Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted
❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common
in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although
small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was
associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The E.A. Noe House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Tudor Revival-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. (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Located on a mid-block parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood, the E.A. Noe House consists of a one-story, single-family
residence and detached garage constructed in a Tudor Revival style (Figure 1). The parcel is bounded on the west by North
Greenleaf Street and on the north, south, and east by private property. The one-story residence has an irregular plan and a
concrete foundation. The roof is cross-gabled and clad in concrete tiles and generally has broad, closed eaves with exposed
beams. Exterior walls are sheathed primarily in brick, with stucco applied to the gables and rear elevation. Facing North
Greenleaf Street to the west, the asymmetrical main fagade is characterized by a wing-and-gable form and a recessed porch
sheltered by an extension of the roof and an uncovered concrete patio enclosed by a brick-clad pony wall. The main entrance
has a solid wood door with a single pane of glass at the center. Windows on the main elevation include a large wood frame
tripartite window with a central fixed pane window flanked by two six-over-one double hung, wood sash windows with divided
light transoms and a second window within the front gable with a wood frame fixed pane and six panes of glass (Figure 2).
Additionally, the west fagade features two sets of wood frame French doors, which open to the concrete patio (Figure 3).

The E.A. Noe House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1925 with a residence and a detached garage at a cost of
$5,000.00. The original building permit does not identify an architect or contractor, though a 1925 newspaper article identified
Noe as the general contractor of the property (The Repister 1925). The article described the property as a `residence and
garage, brick veneer, shingle and comp. roof" (The Register 1925). Newspapers identify Noe working as a contractor in
Santa Ana since circa 1914 constructing mostly single- and multi-family residences in various styles popular at the time
including Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Tudor Revival(The Re-gister 1914). He constructed the adjacent properties to the
subject property on Greenleaf Street including 2109 and 2121 Greenleaf Street and was listed in a 1919 The Repister
newspaper article as a "Builder of Fine Bungalows, Residences, and Garages, 2109 Greenleaf St."(The Repister 1919 and
1925).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Secondary facades generally feature brick walls punctuated by one-over-one double hung, wood sash windows and a steel
frame bay window with small casement windows on the north and south sides (Figure 4). The property has an east-trending
extension with a flat roof and stucco exterior. The extension has wood sash fixed pane and casement windows, one of which
is covered by an awning. The south elevation features a second entrance with a wood paneled door and window accessible
by concrete steps and a small concrete patio enclosed by concrete pony walls;the entrance sits under an awning (Figure 5).
The east elevation features two small, fixed pane windows, a small bay window with a hipped roof clad in wood shake singles
with a central wood frame fixed pane window with six lites flanked by casement windows with three lites, and a set of wood
French doors accessed by brick steps and covered by an open lattice patio cover added in 1990(Figure 6 and 7).
At the rear, western end of the property is a detached garage constructed in 1988. Leading to the garage is a former
Hollywood driveway not completely paved with concrete. The two-story garage is rectangular in plan on a concrete
foundation and capped with a steeply pitched front gabled roof clad in composition shingles with enclosed eaves (Figure 8).
The exterior is clad in stucco and brick. On the west, primary facade are two large openings with metal roll-up garage doors,
an entrance with a glazed wood door, and two vinyl sash windows at the second floor. The north elevation has a second
entrance with a paneled door and vinyl sash window. Landscaping at the property includes front and back lawns, mature
trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
*1310. Significance(continued):
Noe lived on the property until 1926 when Joseph B. and Virginia H. Head purchased the property(The Register 1926a and
1926b). Shortly after purchasing the property, Virginia passed away, but Joseph and their two children, David and Frances,
and his second wife, Lula, and their daughter Mary Jean, lived at the property until circa 1962. Born in Kansas, Joseph
moved to Orange County in 1905 and eventually owned Arrowhead Laundry at 61 and Porter Streets for 15 years (The
Register 1962). David fought in World War It in the 11 t'Airborne Division as a paratrooper, and Joseph's second wife Lula
taught at Logan School for 20 years before retiring in 1946 (The Register 1945 and 1946). During Joseph's ownership of the
property, he altered the property twice: in 1933 he applied for a permit to rebuild the chimney and in 1941 to re-roof the
residence (City of Santa Ana 1933 and 1941, The Register 1933). In 1983, M.A. McAlpin owned the property, but no
additional information was identified on McAlpin (Los Angeles Times 1983). The current owners, Travis Beck Allen-Walter
and Charles Reuben Allen-Walter, acquired the property from Fili Moala and Jordan Moala, husband and wife, in 2024.
The E.A. Noe House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, walnut trees and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922. `Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.And that month, he began
building custom homes in Santa Ana"(Orange County Register 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision
between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and
expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register 1981). Revival architecture in a wide
variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor,
French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such
notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War Il, and the
1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In 1937, Roy Rodney Russell,joined his father's firm and by 1945 it was renamed as
Roy Russell and Son. In the early post-World War /I years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller,
single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low,
horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today, Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier
neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The E.A. Noe House is a contributor to the Floral Park Historic District. Additionally, the E.A. Noe House qualifies for listing in
the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style home in Santa
Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1925. 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 1925 Tudor Revival-style construction
include, but are not necessarily limited to, its asymmetrical main (west) facade composition;brick and stucco siding; steeply

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with

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.

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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West's
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's
concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration. While the style includes several
variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a
sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-
shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed
through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often
sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and
wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the
ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames,
decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch
supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it is a
good example of the style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood. (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design,materials,condition,alterations,size,setting,and boundaries)
Located on a mid-block parcel in the West Floral Park neighborhood, the M.1. Thomson House consists of a one-story, single-
family residence and attached garage constructed in the Ranch style (Figure 1). The parcel is bounded on the east by
Westwood Avenue and on the north, south, and west by private property. The one story residence has an irregular plan and a
concrete foundation. Its complex roof is principally gable-on-hip, crossed with gabled and gable-on-hip roof sections. The roof
is clad in wood shakes and generally has broad, closed eaves. Exterior walls sheathed in lap wood, stucco, and, to a limited
degree, brick veneer. Facing Westwood Avenue to the east, the asymmetrical main facade is characterized by a wing-and-
gable form and a broad recessed porch sheltered by an extension of the roof(Figure 2). Brick-lined straight steps lead to the
wood-panel front door, which is flanked by three-pane side lights situated above wood-panel wainscoting. The floor of the
porch is surfaced with brick, while the porch ceiling features wood-plank cladding. Low brick planters extend left and right
from the entrance; the planter on the right is incorporated into the brick external chimney(Figure 3). Windows on the main
elevation are generally wood-sash multi-pane units in fixed and hung configurations, including a hexagonal bay window
looking over the porch(Figures 4 and 5). Located at the south end of the main exterior, the gabled wing houses the attached
two-car garage, accessed by a non-original roll-up garage door. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.)

The M.l. Thomson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1963 as a residence and attached garage at a cost of$40,000.00.
Mary 1. Thomson purchased the subject parcel from developer Emmet C. Rogers circa 1963, and contractor Frank M. Rogers
completed the residence in September 1963. Deed documents show that following Thomson's ownership of the property, it
was acquired by a series of owners including David Reich (date of acquisition undetermined), Dina Jackson Roseler(1987),
John Devine (1987), and Steven N. and Patricia D. Atkinson (1988; Anonymous 1963, 1987a, 1987b, 2025, Rogers 1963,
Ward 1988). In 2025, the property came under the legal control of Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty as trustees for
Patricia Atkinson. Research, including a review of documents on Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com did not identify
information of consequence of the property's current or former owners(See Continuation Sheet 3).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Secondary facades generally feature stucco walls punctuated by wood sash windows in multiple configurations, including
multi-pane hung wood units (Figure 6) similar to those on the primary fagade, and a few fixed or awning type windows
located on the south fagade (Figure 7). At the rear (west) fagade the main roof is crossed with gable-on-hip extensions
(Figure 8), forming a shallow court. Just off the court, the recessed rear patio (Figure 9) is covered by an extension of the
roof. Secondary entrances are located adjacent to the patio and feature original and non-original solid, glazed, and louvered
doors.
Landscaping includes front and back lawns, mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
*1310. 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 M.I. Thomson 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 M.1. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1963. 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 Ranch-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, its wing-and-gable main (south) fagade
composition; wood shake roof cladding, horizontal lap wood, brick, and stucco siding; principally gable-on-hip roof form;
closed eaves; wood-sash windows in multiple configurations; recessed front and back porches; and brick planters and
integrated brick external chimney.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.

Topic: HRCA No. 2025-18, HRC No. 2026-1, HPPA No. 2026-1 — The M.I. Thomson
House (2214 N. Westwood Avenue)
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2025-
18 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2026-1; and
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to
execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty,
as Trustees of the Patricia Atkinson Revocable Living Trust, for the property located
at 2214 N. Westwood Avenue, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the
City Manager and City Attorney.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty, as Trustees of the Patricia Atkinson Revocable
Living Trust, are requesting approval to designate an existing Minimal Traditional-style
residence located at 2214 N. Westwood Avenue to the Santa Ana Register of Historical
Properties ("Register"), 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 Ranch-style house. It is worthy of
"Contributive" categorization as it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective
of the Ranch style, including its gable-on-hip roof, original wood-sash windows, and lap
wood siding, among other features.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located mid-block on Westwood Avenue, between Santa Clara
Avenue to the north and Twenty-first Street to the south, in the West Floral Park
neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 2,674-square-foot, Ranch-style residence
on an approximately 10,890 -square-foot residential lot (Exhibits 3 and 4).

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 63 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No
known code violations exist on record for this property.
The M.I. Thomson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-
style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was
constructed in 1963 as a residence and attached garage at a cost of $40,000. Mary I.
Thomson purchased the subject parcel from developer Emmet C. Rogers circa 1963, and
contractor Frank M. Rogers completed the residence in September 1963. Deed
documents show that following Thomson's ownership of the property, it was acquired by
a series of owners including David Reich (date of acquisition undetermined), Dina
Jackson Roseler (1987), John Devine (1987), and Steven N. and Patricia D. Atkinson. In
2025, the property came under the legal control of Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty
as trustees for Patricia Atkinson. Research, including a review of documents on
Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com did not identify information of consequence of the
property's current or former owners.
Located on a mid-block parcel in the West Floral Park neighborhood, the M.I. Thomson
House consists of a one-story, single-family residence and attached garage constructed
in the Ranch style. The parcel is bounded on the east by Westwood Avenue and on the
north, south, and west by private property. The one story residence has an irregular plan
and a concrete foundation. Its complex roof is principally gable-on-hip, crossed with
gabled and gable-on-hip roof sections. The roof is clad in wood shakes and generally has
broad, closed eaves. Exterior walls sheathed in lap wood, stucco, and, to a limited degree,
brick veneer. Facing Westwood Avenue to the east, the asymmetrical main fagade is
characterized by a wing-and-gable form and a broad recessed porch sheltered by an
extension of the roof brick-lined straight steps lead to the wood-panel front door, which is

flanked by three-pane side lights situated above wood-panel wainscoting. The floor of the
porch is surfaced with brick, while the porch ceiling features wood-plank cladding. Low
brick planters extend left and right from the entrance; the planter on the right is
incorporated into the brick external chimney. Windows on the main elevation are generally
wood-sash multi-pane units in fixed and hung configurations, including a hexagonal bay
window looking over the porch. Located at the south end of the main exterior, the gabled
wing houses the attached two-car garage, accessed by a non-original roll-up garage door.
Secondary facades generally feature stucco walls punctuated by wood sash windows in
multiple configurations, including multi-pane hung wood units similar to those on the
primary facade, and a few fixed or awning type windows located on the south fagade. At
the rear (west) facade the main roof is crossed with gable-on-hip extensions, forming a
shallow court. Just off the court, the recessed rear patio is covered by an extension of the
roof. Secondary entrances are located adjacent to the patio and feature original and non-
original solid, glazed, and louvered doors. Landscaping includes front and back lawns,
mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
Character-defining features of the house's original Ranch-style construction include, but
are not limited to, its wing-and-gable main (south) fagade composition; wood shake roof
cladding, horizontal lap wood, brick, and stucco siding; principally gable-on-hip roof form;
closed eaves; wood-sash windows in multiple configurations; recessed front and back
porches; and brick planters and integrated brick external chimney. The M.I. Thomson
House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under
Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended
categorization is "Contributive" because it 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).
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 and Planning
Division staff during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following:
1) assess all siding (lap wood, stucco, and brick) for cracking and other damage; replace
or repair in-kind with Planning Division staff approval; (2) assess condition of windows;
replace in-kind, as necessary with Planning Division staff approval; 3) assess condition
of roofing (wood shakes) and fascia and repair or replace in-kind, as necessary with
Planning Division staff approval; 4) assess hardscaping, including driveway, walkways,
and porch/patio steps and flooring, throughout the residence and repair or replace in-kind,
as necessary and with Planning Division staff approval; and 5) assess condition of
foundation and repair 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.

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

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 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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West's
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's
concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration. While the style includes several
variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a
sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L-
shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed
through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design, the Ranch House is often
sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and
wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the
ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames,
decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch
supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it is a
good example of the style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood. (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Located on a mid-block parcel in the West Floral Park neighborhood, the M.1. Thomson House consists of a one-story, single-
family residence and attached garage constructed in the Ranch style (Figure 1). The parcel is bounded on the east by
Westwood Avenue and on the north, south, and west by private property. The one story residence has an irregular plan and a
concrete foundation. Its complex roof is principally gable-on-hip, crossed with gabled and gable-on-hip roof sections. The roof
is clad in wood shakes and generally has broad, closed eaves. Exterior walls sheathed in lap wood, stucco, and, to a limited
degree, brick veneer. Facing Westwood Avenue to the east, the asymmetrical main facade is characterized by a wing-and-
gable form and a broad recessed porch sheltered by an extension of the roof(Figure 2). Brick-lined straight steps lead to the
wood-panel front door, which is flanked by three-pane side lights situated above wood-panel wainscoting. The floor of the
porch is surfaced with brick, while the porch ceiling features wood-plank cladding. Low brick planters extend left and right
from the entrance; the planter on the right is incorporated into the brick external chimney(Figure 3). Windows on the main
elevation are generally wood-sash multi-pane units in fixed and hung configurations, including a hexagonal bay window
looking over the porch(Figures 4 and 5). Located at the south end of the main exterior, the gabled wing houses the attached
two-car garage, accessed by a non-original roll-up garage door. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.)

The M.l. Thomson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original
building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1963 as a residence and attached garage at a cost of$40,000.00.
Mary 1. Thomson purchased the subject parcel from developer Emmet C. Rogers circa 1963, and contractor Frank M. Rogers
completed the residence in September 1963. Deed documents show that following Thomson's ownership of the property, it
was acquired by a series of owners including David Reich (date of acquisition undetermined), Dina Jackson Roseler(1987),
John Devine (1987), and Steven N. and Patricia D. Atkinson (1988; Anonymous 1963, 1987a, 1987b, 2025, Rogers 1963,
Ward 1988). In 2025, the property came under the legal control of Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty as trustees for
Patricia Atkinson. Research, including a review of documents on Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com did not identify
information of consequence of the property's current or former owners(See Continuation Sheet 3).

*P3a. Description (continued):
Secondary facades generally feature stucco walls punctuated by wood sash windows in multiple configurations, including
multi-pane hung wood units (Figure 6) similar to those on the primary fagade, and a few fixed or awning type windows
located on the south fagade (Figure 7). At the rear (west) fagade the main roof is crossed with gable-on-hip extensions
(Figure 8), forming a shallow court. Just off the court, the recessed rear patio (Figure 9) is covered by an extension of the
roof. Secondary entrances are located adjacent to the patio and feature original and non-original solid, glazed, and louvered
doors.
Landscaping includes front and back lawns, mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.
*1310. 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 M.I. Thomson 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 M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1963. 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 Ranch-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, its wing-and-gable main (south) fagade
composition; wood shake roof cladding, horizontal lap wood, brick, and stucco siding; principally gable-on-hip roof form;
closed eaves; wood-sash windows in multiple configurations; recessed front and back porches; and brick planters and
integrated brick external chimney.

Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, 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.
