Federal No. M -MD17
I Project D0-5crSpt`sQn
The proposed project would entail the widening and r�constsucti�n
of Bristol Street, from Warner Avonue to Santiago Creek, in the City of
Santa Ana. A 720' right -of -way is proposed throughout the entire
project corridor, in Nith bath Orange County and City of
Santa Ana Master Plans. Six lanes of through traffic, within a
curb -to -curb roadway width of 100 feet, would be provided, with di,ol
teft -turn pockets, rr!?ht turn only lanes and bus turnouts at the major
intersections. Outside of the roadway, the right -of --way will be
improved with a sidewalk and landscaped park ayr, o�) bolh sides of the
street. The purpose of the proposed street widening is to improve the
flow of vehicular traffic, as well as the safety and quality of pedestrian
anti vehicuG ar c4rculatl thrr,ughout the project area.
Three widening alternatives are under conslderatlon. The, first
alternat'[ve would entaii widening evenly from the centerline. A second
alternative would widen Bristol Street only on the east side. A third
alternative would %viden the street u"t y on the west side. A fourth
possible alternative could consist of a r-ombination of even and one side
widening, as determined by the City of Santa Ana. Based on present
right- of -way dimensions in the project corridor, up to 50' of
right -of -way may be acquired to facilitate the selected widening
alternative in a given area.

B. Historical or Cultural Resources
Mr. Bissell reviewed the South half of the project area,
between Warner Avenue and First Avenue, during .July 1985.
Fol[owing the City of Santa Arta "s decision to expand the project
limits north to Memory Lane, he reviewed the north half dut-Ing
October 1986. Numerous sources of historical data were reviewed
to determine the presence of any known Significant historical or
cultural resources within the APE], in; accordance with National
Register criteria. These sources included:
The Federal Register of Historic Places at the orange County
Law library
The 1976 California Inventory of Historic Resources,
published by the California Department of Parks and
Recreation
Uca� area histories at the Sherman Library, Corona Del Wir
-R Older maps of the project area at the Map Library, Unlver5;ity
of California, Los Angeles
Building permit fifes at the Planning Department, City of
Santa Arta
-- Parcel Maps at the Orange County Assessor "s Office
-= Feeds and other records at the Offrce of the County Clerk,
County of Orange
Old lnsurance maps, general area histories, directories and
newspaper clippings on file at the Santa Ana Public Library
Heritage Orange County, Incorporated, Santa Aria, California
-- Orange County Ffistorical Commission
-4 Orange County Historical Society
None of the structures within the APEI are listed in the
National Register or the California Inventory of Historic Resources.
Most of the development in the APE[ occurred subsequent to 1950.
Numerous structures, however, were found to be over 50
}rears old, one aspect of National Register consideration. Of
these, only the Walker Residence, located at 1248 West Bishop, was
determined to possess sufficient architectural and historical
significance to merit Further review in accordance ►+pith National
Register criteria. No other structures less than 50 years old were
found which would be Qligible for listing in the National Register,
-8-
The Walker Residence appears to be eligible under National
Req ster cftiIerlz, based an architectural style and association with
a person of local h[storicaJ significance. The home is a fine
example of the Mediterranean /Mission influenced Classical Box style
and may be the largest such example in Santa Ana. The structure
has been well maintained and has been preserved, without
alteration, in its original condition. This home and the three
nondescript accessary buildings which also occupy the site, are
the only remnants of a ortcp- larger farm- estate owned by Mr.
Edward A. Walker, between 1922 and 1950. Mr. Walker was one of
a handful of successful poultry farmers in this area during the
early 19001s. Sometime prior to 1929 he purchased the name and
mitting equipment from the id Banner Mill, and reestablished the
business at this site, Mr. Walker continued to operate the mill,
supplying IocaJ poultry farmers until sometime in the late 1940's.
To ?yelp determine whether the Wiflker Residence is eligible for
listing in the National Register, a Request for Determination of
Eligibility was prepared and is found in Attachment A. The
preliminary recommendation is that the structure. 1s etigibke under
the National Register criteria, at the local level of significance.
The final determination will be made fallowing further review in
accordance with Section 106 requirements.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church located at 202 N.
Bristol Street is also noteworthy from a historical standpoint.
Originally established in Santa Ana in 1933 at a different Jocation,
it is reputed to be the first Black church officially established in
Orange County. This church continued to flourish following its
origination, and [n 19+7 the church purcha .5ed a chapel building
located at the Santa Aria Arta} Air Base end moored it tc the
present location at 207 N. Bristol Street. The structure itself has
been modified several times and exhibits none of the characteristics
established in the National Register criteria.
C. Archaeological Resources
In addlItion to a field review of the entire project corridor, to
observe the Thnited undeveloped surface areas, Mr. Bissell
conducted an extensive research of available archeological
Pterature for this area. References consulted included:
Site recording forms and reports of past excavations at the
Archaeological Survey, University, of CaIifornia at Los
Angeles
--- Site recording forms and reports of past excavation at the
Anthropology Museum, California State University, Fullerton
Ms. Susan Colby and A'1 r. John Parker, Survey
Archaeologists Mth thie UCLA Archaeological Survey, also
conducted research of the maps and records orl file at the Er+ tit�ite
of Archaeology, Southern California Archaeological Survey, UCLA.
Their findings are presented in Attachment B, herein.
-9-
The result
of this research was the determination that
the
subject project
area has never been examined for
archaeological
remains and that no archaeological sites have been recorded in
the
immediate vicinity of the project area. Due to
this lack
of
information, it
is recommended that construction
activities
be
mmitvred by i�
q) ailfied archaeologist, to properly
document
any
such resources
which may be uncovered during
construction
activities,
D. Paleontological Resources
41r, Raschke reviewed both published and unpublished
records on filo at the Museum of Natural History of Las Angels
County and the Natural History Foundation of Orange County.
This research determined that the project area is underlaid by
quaternary alluvium, a rock unit considered to have law
paleontological sensitivity, Fie the-refora cancluded that there is no
need for field review or paleontological monitoring during the
proposed widening of Bristol Street.
E. Usting of Identified Properties
In order to 6ntermrrre whether there nre any properties of
cultural or historical significance within the APEI , Building
Evaluation Forms were prepared for all structures found to be at
least 50 years of age, along with two others considered locally
significant (the A.M.E. Church discussed earlier and the Bristol
Drug Company store, located at 1302 W. Santa Aria Boulevard).
These forms were prepared by Mr. Bissell and ore presented in
Attacfiment C, herein. As stated earlier, only the Walker
Residence was determined to have sufficient significance to merit
further review in accordance with National Register criteria.
Ill History of Development of the Area
Bristol Street first appears as a functional route in an 1877 work
entitled "Map of the County of Los Angeles ". Bristol Street existed in
1877 only to the south of the current intersection with First Street.
There were three property owners within the area which would become
Brtstat Street north of Virst Street. Two of ALhe property owners were
J. Chaves, who owned the southern most parcel immediately north of
First Street, and J. Ross, who owned property north of the Chaves
parcel. The name of the third property owner is very difficult to
read, but could possibly be Maybury.
Mr. 8lsse11s s review of local history records revealed that the area
immediately east of Bristol Street, between what is now Edinger Avenue
and McFadden Avenue, was the site of a locally important race track
during the 1890s. The track was built principally for horse racing and
contained a 1,500 capacity grandstand as well as piped water in the
stable irea. For several gears, the Orange County Fair held stdxk
shows and races at the track.
-10
The popularity of the track declined rapidly, however, and the
track was sold in 1897. When the track Buildings were razed is
unknown, but the facility appears on insurance maps prepared by
Sanborn in 1906. These same maps indicate that the only construction
then ex(sting alwq BrtstiA Street, other than the race track, Was
concentrated in the first few blocks south of First Street. None of
these Buildings have survived to the present clay.
Growth along Bristol Street between First Street and Warner
Avenue was quite slow. In 1901, only four addresses were in use on
South Brssta4. Thee ressdenc-�s be�e)nged to Mr. F. J. Garrett, F. R.
Horstley, B. S. Kearns, and J. WHI[ts. The latter is the same lair.
W[Ilits who owned the famous race horse, Silk wood. A street was named
in honor of fir. Willits; it extends west from Bristol Street across from
Bishop Street. Bone of these buildings have survived to the present
day.
In addition, the 1901 United States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
Anaheim and Santa Ana sheets, reveal that Bristol Street was opened
between First Street and Memory Lark by that date. Some 1 i
structures were adjacent to Bristol Street at the time. Fine of these,
two on the west and three on the cast side of Bristol are between First
and Fifth Street-, It is that near Viflh Streit #sere is an
approximate 100 foot offset in Bristol Street, with the portion north of
Fifth Street being further to the east. 'three structures were located
at widely spaced intervals on the west side of Bristol Street between
Ninth Street and Washington Street, Seventeenth Street terminated
from the east at Bristol Street. One structure was located just north
of $eventeenth Qn the- east side of V�risb�k. The twin remaining
structures were located east of Bristol and just south of Santinge
Creek. None of these structures have survived to the present day.
By 1937, some 26 residences existed along Bristol Street in the
project area. All of the residences listed in Mr. Bissell's report as
potentially significant were to dace by 3537. A, 19:7 directory indicates
that F. A. Walker, owner/ constructor of the Walker Residence discussed
in Section 11 B, was at that time operating a feed mill, known. as
Banner Mills, at 605 South Bristol Street. The mill continued to
operate until at least 1947.
The 1942 maps of the project area indicate that the -8rea along
Bristol, between First and Seventeenth, was entirely built -up by that
date, except for a small parcel immediately southwest of the Bristol
Street/ Seventeenth Street intersection. This is the parcel which
eventually became Santa Aka Community College, Six buildings were
located along Bristol north of Seventeenth Street. None of the
buildings north of Seventeenth Street depicto -d are the 1942 maps have
survived to the present day, but rnany from this era exist [n the
southerly portion of the APE1.
-11-
Dur[ng the first post war decade, 1946 to 1956, the APP[
ut)der,ment mayor dq iz!lopment. The decades maw tht construction of
Mater Dei High School, two (2) churches and Seven (7) tract homes.
In addition, Santa Ana Community ollcgt- became operational during the
early part of this decade to meet the educational need-5 of the returning
servicemen. Originally, Santa Ana Community College utilized buildings
which had been purchased from the Santa Arta Army Air Rare and
moved to the college site. None of thesc- buildings survived to the
present day.
South of Seventeenth Street, many small commercial establish-
ments, such as gasoline stations, restaurants and general offices, were
erected. In addition, many of the existing residential structures were
converted to commercial office use.
The development north of Sevcnteenth Street was somewhat
different. This had been largely devotc-d to citrus groves with only a
Few scattered structures. All of these structures were rerhoved and th3
bulk of the area was devoted to tract duplex housing. Horner
Shopping Plaza to the ntorthwest of the intersection of 8risW and
Seventeenth was built, as was Santiago Elementary School east of
Bristol. The bridge spanning Santiago Creek was installed in 1947,

Description of Property
The subject property measures 164 feet by 154 feet, for a total area of
2,266 square feet. The primary 'mpriwe er+t is a large, two -story residence
consisting of plaster over wood frame construction, with a hipped, the roof
(see Exhibit E3 ). This home is a fine example of a Mediterranean /Mission
influenced - Classical Box style of architecture. Accessory -structures
include a garage east of the home, a summerhouse located southeast of the
home and a greenhouse located south of the home. Building permit records
are unclear as to the enact date of construction of the summerhouse, while
permit records indicate that the greenhouse was built in 1935_
The main residence is presently occupied by several Fathers of the
Nerburtime Order, who are instructors at the nearby Mater Oei High School.
From field observations, it appears that the summerhouse and greenhouse are
not presently used.
Integrity
This site is all that remains from a once larger poultry farm and a later
feed mill operation deveJoped by the original owner/builder, Mr. Edward A.
Walker. The main residence and the accessory structures are the only
remaining improvements.
The main residence has not been altered and has been well maintained to
this day. Based on local building permit records, the summerhouse may have
originally been constructed in 1923 as a poultry house, which was later
expanded with an incubator puildinq. If so, the present summerhouse
represents an extensive modification of those earlier facilities, and it now
exists as a one -room building, with kitchen and bath facilities. The
greenhouse appears to be ire its original condition, but it is deteriorated and
is no longer in use.
Significance
The primary residence is a well- maintained and unusually large example
of the Mediterranean/Mi5sion influenced Classical Box style. While this style
is not unique in Santa Ana or Southern California, the Walker Residence is
prQbabty the test e amp4e 1Df tllis stytiv� 5n Santa Ana, in terms of its size,
Integrity and condition.
From a h €5toricai standpoint, the Walker Residence is locally significant,
as one of the fow remnants Qf the agr €cultural economy that was predominant
in the history of Santa Aria. Mr. Edward A. Walker, the original owner of
this property was a successful poultry farmer in this area for Several years
during the early 1900's. Sometime prior to 1979 he purchased the Banner
Mills, a large local feed mill facility which had been for several
years and revived the feed mill operation at this site. Mr. Walker operates{
the feed mill, supplying local poultry farmers. until at least 1945, when
reference to it i5 dropped from City directories.
In T950, this property was purchased by the Catholic Church of Orange
County, in conjunction with the development of dater Del High School, the
first Catholic High School in Orange County.

Recommendation
The Edward A. Walker residence is eligible at the focal level to the
National Register of Historic Places in accordance with Criteria A, B, and C.
First, the property is associated with the development of the agricultural
industry in both Santa An-8 and orange County. Watkiix's establishment 01
his Model poultry Farm and his subsequent establishment of Banner Mills
spans an unusually long period extending from the late 19th Century (the
original Banner dills) to circa 1950, and it accordingly qualifies under
Criterion A. Second, the house was the residence of Edward A. Walker, a
prominent local businessman. The house was built at the beginning of
Walker's rapid expansion of his business interests in Santo Ana. Despite the
fact that W jlker never achieved regional significance, his local significance
qualifies the property under Criterion B. Finally, the residence is an
excellent and unaltered example of a variation of the Classical Box as carried
out in the Mediterranean/Mission style. It is a large example of its type,
and it retains several important associated Features including a garage,
"summerhouse", and a greenhouse. As such, it is the best docurnented
example of its type in the City of Santa Ana, and is potentially eligible
under Criterion C.

1. Common dame: Walker Residence.
2. Historic flame: Walker Residence.
3. Address: 1248 West Bishop Street, Santa Ana, California 92703.
4. Panel Number: Unknown.
5. Present Owner: Catho[ic Bishop of Orange, 7811 Fast Villa Real
Drive, Orange, California 92677. Ownership is private,
5. Present Use: The residence is presently utilized by several Fathers of
the Nobertine Order, instructors at Mater Dei Nigh
School,
Original Use: Private Residence
7a, Architectural Style: The plaster on wood game, gently sloping,
hipped the roof, suppressed heavy set chimney, Inroad veranda and
heavy columns all reveal the influence of the Mediterrarean/Mission
influenced - Classical Sax style, which was popular In Southern
California at the time it was built.
b, The Walker Residence is a two story, plaster over wood frame building
with a hipped, the roof. There are three outbuildings. One is a
garage located east of the house. A '"summerhouse" is located southeast
of the main house, This structure is a one room affair with bath and
kitchen facilities. The other outbuilding is to the south of the house.
It is a greenhouse which has a closed roam with fireplace at its west
end. So far as is known, the main residence has not had any major
alterations. The date of construction of the "summerhouse" is not
known, Dut in 1923 building permits were issued for a poultry house
and are incubator house. One of these structures may have been
converted to the "summerhouse ". If not, then the ' "summerhouse'" was
probably constructed concurrently with the main residence, since no
additicrnah building permits were issued. The greenhouse was built in
1935,
8. Construction Date: 1972 (Building permit issuance).
S. Architect; Unknown.
10. Builder: Unknown.
11. Frontages: Approximately 710 feet on Bristol Street. Approximately

17. The structure is on its original site.
18. Related Features: See 7b, above.
19. Significance: The Walker Residence is probably the largest, well
preserved example of the Medi terra neon/ Mission influenced - Classical
Box style in Santa Ana. It has not been altered since it was originally
constructed in 1922, Its significance i5 enhanced due to its association
with Mr. Edward A. Walker, the original owner, who was a prominent
local poultry farmer and feed mill operator in this area for many years.
This site is all that remains of Mr. Walker's original farm 8state, which
was much larger.
Based on its architectural integrity and the local historical significance
of the original owner, the Walker Residence has been preliminarily
determined to be eligible for listing under National Register criteria, at
the local level of significance. A Request for Determination of
Eligibility has therefore been prepared.

Original use: Probably a cummeroial establishment.
7a. Architectural style: Workman's Cottage.
7b. Briefly describe the present physical description of the
site or structure and describe any major alterations from
its original condition: This structure was probably
a commercial structure when first built and only later
converted to dwelling use. The north end of the structure
has a large second story door which may have been used as
access to storage. The building is on the same Parcel as
207 North Bristol, an old store front. It is felt that
these two buildings formed part of the same commercial
complex. On 9 December 1927 a permit was issued for the
installation of a "sprawing machine." since "sprawing"
could not be found in any dictionary it is felt that a
spraying machine of some sort is indicated. Building
permits are present back to 1921, but not for the original
building, which must therefore be older. The rear door of
the structure is framed with used brick. This may be a
modern alteration, but is not indicated in the building
permit files.

7NTRODUOTION: The purpose of this project is to describe the paleonto-
logical, archaeological and historical resources existing along Bristol
Street between First Street and Warner Avenue in the City of Santa Ana,
Orange County, California. The project was undertaken as part of an
environmental impact statement assessing proposed street improvements.
The area of the project is depicted on the Index Map appearing on page
2 of this report.
For the purpose of historic assessment the project was limited to
the first row of properties fronting Bristol Street in the segment be-
tween First Street and Warner Avenue (City of Banta Ana 19$4:8).
The archaeological and historical weria cwvpleted by
Ronald M. Bissell, an Orange County Certified Archaeologist. The paleon-
tological assessment was accomplished by Mr. Rodney E. Paschke, an Orange
County Certified Paleontologist. The survey was completed at various
dates between 5 July and 9 August 1985.
THE SURVEY:
CITY Of SANTA ANA. The first major resource examined during the
survey was the files of building permits maintained by the City of Santa
Ana, Planning and Development Services, 2D Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana,
California 92702, Michael C. Betts and Guy W. Admire, both City of Santa
Ana employees, were most helpful in arranging access to the records and
interpretation of some of the entries. The initial examination of the
building permit files occurred on 5 July 1985, with follow -up visits on
12 and 17 July 1935.
The building permit files established that four structures with po-
tential for historic preservation exist along Bristol Street in the proj-
ect area. These structures will be discussed in some detail in the next
section of this report.
The building permit file for one structure, a tract residence at
410 South Bristol contained the notation, "No demos. See Planning for
permits. Historical preservation." It was surmised that the notation

was mistakenly placed on this file instead of the file for the structure
at 400 South Bristol, a home erected in 1919 by a Mr. John Sebastian.
However, fie)d inspection revealed that the Sebastian house no longer
exists and that there is no such current address as either 400 or 410
South Bristol. The Sebastian house was razed before or as part of the
construction of Tract 1804, accoMplished in 1953.
Investigation with Heritage Orange County, Incarporated, 106 West
Fourth Street, Suite 505, Santa Ana, California 92701, established that
the historical preservation notice contained in the City of Santa Ana
files should have been included in the file pertaining to the property
at 1248 West Bishop Street. This property was erected in 1922 by E. A.
Walker and i5 one of the four properties identified in the original file
search as a possibiiitiy for historical preservation. This structure will
be discussed in some detail in the following section of this report.
Kathy Les of Heritage Orange County was most helpful in determining the
above information.
LIBRARY RESEARCH! On 9 July 1985 the collection at the .Santa Ana
Aistroy Room, Santa Ana Public Library was examined. The librarian of
the Santa Ana History Room, Anne Harder, was lost helpf0 in suggestln
sources to check and in locating them.
The work at the Santa Aria History Room did not provide any details
concerning any of the existing structures along Bristol Street, but a
great dial of information regarding the early history of the area was
gained. This information will be outlined in a later section of this
report.
The general collections of the Santa Ana Public Library and the
Orange County Law Library were utilized on 10 July 1985 to determine if
any property on gristol Street in the project area had previously been
no- minateu for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places or
the California Inventory of Historic f- sources. No such nominations have
been made (Federal Register 1979 -1985, California Department of Parks and
Recreation 1975).
The most profound discovery rude in these general library collections
concerned the first few Orange County Fairs, the livestock portions of
which were held at a racetrack which was located immediately east of
Bristol Street between McFadden Avenue and Edinger Avenue.
The collection at the Sherman Library, 2547 East Coast Highway,
Corona Del mar, California 92625 was examined on 18 July 1985. This
library is devoted to Southwestern history and is an excellent. collection.
Dr. William 0. Hendricks, the Director, provided much valuable guidance
during the search. The Sherman Library collection provided a great many
deatils regarding area history, but nothing of value in assessing the
importance of extant structures.
The final library resource to be utilized for this survey was the
Map Library, Univ;.-rtity of California, Los Angeles. This collection was
examined on 23 July 1985.
The earliest located map which depicts an existing Bristol Street
in the project area is an 1877 work by J. H. Wildy, a Deputy County
Surveyor, and A. J. Stahlberg, a Civil Engineer. The map is titled,
"Miap of the County of Los Angeles." This map indicates that three struc-
tures existed in 1877 along Bristol Street. Two of these were located on
the east Side of the street and south of the current Edinger Avenue. The
remaining structure was directly across Bristol from the first two build-
ings. None of these structures have survived to the present day. It is
worthwhile to note that a school existed in the area at this early date.
The Uiamon6 Grammar Scbu of was vacated north of Edinger a short distance
to the west of the Bristol Street intersection.
The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey map of 1901 reveals that
seven buildings and a racetrack then existed immediately adjacent to Bris-
tol Street. All except one of these buildings were located south of the
racetrack, which itself was located just north of Edinger and east of
Bristol. None of these buildings have survived to the present day.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers map of 1947 indicates that
12 buildings then existed along Bristol Street in the project area. How-
ever, the map apparently does not depict buildings below a certain size,
since several structures known to exist from the City of Santa Ana records
are got shiDwn . In fact. of the six structor es whicb predate 1947, only
the Walker Mouse (1248 West Bishop Street) can be identified on the Corps
of Engineers map. it is therefore probable that many othtr buildings were
in existence in 1947 along Bristol Street.

RATIONAL ARCHIVES: On 16 July 1985 the resources of the National
Archives, Chet C. Hollifield Federal Building, Laguna Niguel, Caliif4rnia
were examined. The census schedules for the years 1900, 1910 and 1920
were most helpful in establishing the developme "tal �istr�)y of the pro-
ject area. No direct information regarding structures was obtained, but
general locations could be surmised from addresses given in the census
data.
FIFLO SURVEY: Dn 22, 24 and 25 July 1985 the informatio5 which had
been determined through agency and library study was field checked. All
addresses along Bristol Street in the project area were verified, all of
the structures with potential for historical preservation were visited and
measurements and photographs made. In addition, all open areas along the
street and several areas of active construction eKcavatia n were examined
for any evidence of archaeological deposition. No such deposition was
found and it was noted that the subsurface in the project area appears to
be primarily recent alluvial deposits.
OTHER RESOURCES: During the course of this survey many a.dditinnaj
printed resources were utilized and matey people were contacted. Many of
the printed resources will be cited in the following history of the pro -
ject area. A partia3 listing of the persons contacted includes:
Jeanette McRae, Orange County Fair Association
Carol Dvmke, Orange County Current Planning Processing Center

IVENTIFIEV POTEWIAtl.Y S7GNfFICANT HISTORICAL RESOURCES: During this survey
four extant structures with potential for historical preservation were ident-
ified. Each of these are discussed below. The map of the project area on
5
page 7 of this report indicates the location of each of the structures,
as well as other f=eatures in the project area_
901 SOLrfH BRISTOL; The exact date of construction of this frame,
hipped roof structure was not established. Mr. S. S, Crennan, the then
current owner, was issued a building permit on 11 February 1946, but this
was for repairs to an already existing building. The building dates to a
far earlier period* 3udgiq from the T4)e buiWnq
actually fronts on a side street and is located more than 50 feet from the
curb of Bristol Street. Since the structure is clearly not threatened by
the proposed street improvement project, no great research effort was ex-
perWed to gain details of its history. The structure is depicted in
Plate I , page 8.
305 SOUTH BRISTOL: Qn 28 July 1925 a building permit was issued to
Helen L. Jackson for construction of a residence and garage at 305 South
Bristol. The resulting frame house with two external brick chimneys is
typical of construction of that period. Since the house is located only
about 20 feet from the Bristol Street curb it is clearly threatened by
the proposed construction. Nevertheless, the structure is not unique
from an architectural standpoint and it was not the home of any noted
person. In addition, the house is not in its original condition, since
a bedroom was added in 1953. It is felt that the structure is not eli-
gible for National Register nomination, since such nomination world he
based only on age. The structure is depicted in Plate II, page 9.
303 SOUT6 BRISTOL: This stucco residence was constructed in 1925
by 'Waldo C. King. It is immediately adjacent to 305 South Bristol, dis-
cussed above. Much of what was said about the structure at 305 South
Bristol also applies to this residence. It is the saine distance from the
curb, its architectural style is typical and it was never the home of a
noted person. Therefore, it appears that this structure is also not a
good candidate for National Register nomination, sine the nomination
would be based solely on age. This structure is also seem in Plate 11,
page 13.

7248 WEST 91SHOP STREET; This structure, with some 110 feel of
Bristol Street frontage, is constructed in the Prairie style. The
Prairie style was introduced by Frar7k Lloyd Wright in 1900 in build-
ings in northern Illinois. The style is quite cojivion in the midwest,
and is only infrequently eritountered in southern California. The
example at 1248 Test Bishop Street has been identified by Heritage
Orange County, Incorporated, a local historical group, as having
preservation potential.
On 1 July 1919 E. A. Walkcr was issued a building permit to erect a
warehouse at this lacatian. Another building permit was issued in dune
1922 for construction of the residence. A poultry house was added in April
1923 and an incubator house was constructed in September of the same year,
A greenhouse was added in curly 1935. Same of the buildings have since
been converted to other uses, or gave been replaced by later construction.
For example, there is currently no indication of a poultry or incubator
house, but a building currently referred to as a "summer house" now ex-
ists, This is a one roam building with kitchen and bath facilities lo-
cated behind the main house. The greenhouse is shill in existence, but
is no longer used as such.
About 1960 the ownership of 1248 West Bishop Street passed to the
Catholic Bishop of Los Angeles and subsequently to the Bishop of Orange.
The change of ownership occured about the time Maur Oei High School, a
few blacks to the south, was being constructed. The house was apparently
purchased as a support facility for Mater Vei High School, since it now
houses several Fathers of the ��Iohertlne Order, inst=ructors at the high
school.

OTHER CONSTRUCTION
'Fhe balance of the re:rid i ni ray construction along Bristol Street in
the ;turfy area consists of a variety of tract homes, commercial buildings,
schools and churches, none of which have historic preservation potential.

AREA P EH7ST RY ANV HISTORY.
PALEONTOLOGY; The fallowing section of this report ryas prepared
by Mr. Rodney E. R aschke, ar) Orange County Certified Paleontologist.
A review of the latest published geological map of the area reveal-
ed that Bristol Street between Warner Avenue and First Street is under-
lain by Quaternary Aalluvium (;forton et al. 1973). These deposits were
laid down by the Santa Ana river. Typically these deposits are less than
10,000 years old, which iriakt3s them geologically too young to contain
important fossils. There are no confirmed reports of fossils from these
deposits in the Santa Ana area_ There are unconfirMed questionable
reports of the remains of "Ice Age" animals supposedly recovered Fron7
thi2 alluviul depos.!Ls, However, no fossils are currently available to
support these reports.
Quaternary alluvium is considered to have a low paleonntological
sensitivity or potential for the discovery of fossils during the develop-
ment of an area underlain by these deposits.
Based on the low paleontological sensitivity of the rock unit exposed
in the Bristol Street area afid the shallow nature of the excavations as-
sociated witfr the proposed project it is unlikely that there will be any
adverse impact on the paleontological resources in the Santa Ana area.
Therefore, no paleontological monitoring will be necessary during the
widening of Bristol Street between, First Street and Darner Avenue.
The above evaluation is based on a review of the published and un-
published geological and paleontological literature of the area and the
locality records of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and
11
the Natural History Foundation of Orange County. no field survey was
conducted during this study.
ARCHAEOLOGY:
CFA nnoto v� The Native American group living in the project
area came to be known as Gabrielino. Nowever, this name was bestowed by
the Spanish and is derived from association with Mission San Gabriel. The
name the native population used to identify themselves is not known {Kroeber
1925 }'
The date of the earliest human occupation of the general project area
is disputed, but most scholars would agree that a human presence was es-
tablished along the southern California coast by 75CO B.C.
The artifactual record left by these early peopTe indicates that they
subsisted primarlily by hunting. The tools they left are generally quite
large and the bulk of then are chipped lithic tools, such as projectile
points and scrapers, or the remains of chipped tool manufacture, such as
cores and hammerstones. Many of the projectile points are finely made,
while most of the other tools are crude. This era is locally known as
the Early Man Period.
The millennium centered around 5500 B.C. reveals a major shift in the
artifactual record. The large, finely made projectile points of the earlier
period give way to smaller and more crudely made points. Grinding tool's
for the processing of hard seeds become the predominant artifact types_
These grinding implements are known as manos, the smaller hand held stone,
and metates, the larger tools which often display deep basins.
The appearance of the manos and metates i5 generally interpreted as
a major shift in subsistence Strategy, with a decreased dependence on hunt-
ing and an increased dependence on the gathering of wild seeds. However,
this shift may not be as pronounced as originally thought. Recent work
indicates that hunting continued to be relatively important (Drover,
Koerper and Langenwalter 1983). This second phase of local archaeology
is known as the Milling Stone Period.
The Milling Stone Period persisted locally until about 1000 B.C.p
when a new tool combination, the mortar and pestI6 was introduced, ushering
in the Intermediate Cultures Period.
1
The mortar and pestle is generally related to the processing of the
acorn as a food resource. However, the use of manos and metates continues
unabated, so the introduction of the mortar and pestle indicates utilization
of acorns as a supplemental food resource rather than as a replacement for
'other food. Projectile points become much smaller during the Intermediate,
probably indicating the first use of the how and arrow in the area. The
Intermediate also saw the first use of steatite in the area. Steatite is
a soft, easy to work substance and was used for a variety of purposes,
ranging from cooking utensils to personal decorative items. The steatite
was imported from Santa Catal�r +a Island, proof that the population had
mastered local ocean travel.
The final phase of native culture is known as the Late Prehistoric
Period, and it began in the area around A.D. 750. The Late Period is
characterized by changes in mortuary practices and by dramatic increase
in the use of shell for decoration and functional fools. Projectile points
become smaller still and are generally more finely worked than in the pre -
ceeding era. Pottery appeared in some quantity near the end of the period.
The local chronology, as it is presently understood, is surrrarized
it Table 1, page 14. The above description and Table 1 are based primarily
on KDeyper and Drover {1923)_
AAchaeotogic w ch: On 01-3 duly 1983 a literature review
was accomplished at the Archaeological Survey, University of California,
Los Angeles, the repository of archaeological data for Orange County.
The literature review established that the project area has never
been examined for archaeological remains and that no archaeological situ
have been recorded in the immediate vicinity. Most of the area had been
built -up prior to the introduction of requirements for pre - construction
archaeological mitigation.
%rin the fie3d ward for this project, primarily on 22, 24 and 25
July 1985, all open areas fronting on Bristol Street were examined for
archaeological remains. Two construction excavations were also examined.
These areas amounted to approximately 5% of the total street frontage, aid
all were highly disturbed. No archaeological remains were found.
Due to the lack of prior research iu the area and the present extensive
construction, an evaluation of the archaeological sensitivity of the area

AREA HISTORY: The historical era opens in Orange County with the
Portola expedition of 1769, but nothing of note occurred in the project
area until 1811D. On 10 July of that year the Rancho Santiago de Santa
Ana was granted by Spanish Governor ArreIIago to Jose Antonia Yorba and
Juan Pablo Peralta. This 62,516 acre rancho was the only Spanish grant
which was completely -oith�n the area which would becc -me Orange County.
The current project area is contained completely within the Rancho Santiago
de Santa Ana (Meadows 1966).
In 1869 the City of Santa Ana was founded by Gilliam Remy purge�)n.
He originally laid out 24 blocks with 10 lots each in the area of present
downtown Santa Ana and the Civic Center. He built and operated a store
at what is now Fourth Street and Broadway {Alex 1966, Swanner 1950.
In 1889, Orange County was esatblished as a separate entity and the
City of Santa Ana became the county seat.
BRISTOL 5TRI=6T HISTORY: The earliest reference to Bristol as a func-
tioning street and structures near it is found in the previously cited
1877 Map of the County of Los Angeles. The map identifies one stricture
as the "Old Sepulveda House." This residence was located near what is now
the intersection of Richland Avenue and Central Street, several blocky to
the west of the current project area.
The Diamond 5rammar School was also in existence in 1877. it was
located along what would become Edinger Avenue, several blocks west of
the Bristol Street intersection.
There were three buildings fr�v�tiaq ats Bristol Streit in 1837. Ono•
Of these was located on the west side of the street south of Edinger Avenue,
about where the Baptist Church now stands. This house was on land iden-
ified as belonging to Long. The other two buildings were located direct-
ly across Bristol Street on property belonging to W. F. Koil, Bristol
Street ended in its southerly extreme near what is now 5t. Andrew Place.
No further reference could he found related to the structures existing
along Bristol Street in 1877.
in 1890 an event occurred which was to profoundly affect Bristol
Street for the next decade. Horse racing was a popular entertainm-ent
in the area from early Spanish times. In 1890 a group of horsemen pool-
ed their resource; and constructed a mile long race track immediately east
of Bristol between Edinger Avenue and McFadden Avenue. At the time,
McFadden Avenue was knn as Fairview Avenue. The track was built on 7D
acres of land purchased and donated by R. J. Blee.
The track quickly became established as a major racing facility. In
a short period of time, it boasted a grandstand capable of seating 1,500
people and about 150 horse stables. There was Also a water system which
Piped water throughout the stable area (Riggs 1931).
The Orange County Fair Association was organized in 1891, with J. F.
Pleasants as President. The first fair was held in September of that year.
The agricultural exhibits were in the Opera House in downtown Santa Ana,
while the stock sbow and races were held at the track (Pleasants 1931).
One of thq prime attra tits dtriV�q this period was a horse named
Silkwood, owned by J. Willits. This particular horse was very fast and
several mate races were held at the track between him and other fast
horses, one from as far away as Kansas. These races always drew enormous
crowds. One reporter quipped about one race that the attendance exceeded
the total population of Orange County.
Other events held at the track included bicycle races, foot races and,
in a few instances, man versus horse races. The latter races were prompted
by the presence of one Tom Morris, a local resident who was billed as the
world's fastest human. In these races a typical format would be for the man
to run one hundred yards while the horse ran twG hundred yards.
The popularity of the track declined rapidly and the property was sold
in 1897 (Riggs 1931:112). The suddeness of the decline is attributable to
several causes. Silkwood was no longer racing and no champion of equal
quality had emerged to take his place. In 1897 the state aid given to
local fairs was halted, with the expected negative influence (Riggs 1931:
99). However, Ashby (et al 1931) states that the major reason for the de-
clige gas the autlayting of betting at the track, also In 1897.
When the track buildings were razed is unknown, but the tactility ap-
pears on insurance maps prepared by Sanborn in 1906. These same maps
indicate that the Only construction then existing along Bristol Street,
16
other than the race track, was concentrated in the first few blocks
south of First Street. None of these buildings have survived to the
present day.
Growth along Bristol Street in the project area was quite stow.
In 1901, only four addresses were in use on South Bristol. These res-
idences belonged to Mr. E. J. Garrett, F. R. Horstley, B. S. Kearns and
3, Willits. The latter is the same Mr. Willits who awned the race horse,
Silkwood. A Street was named in honor of Mr. Willits. It today extends
,vest f rc)m Bri5to3 Street across from Bishop Street. (Southern California
Directory Company 1$01). None of these buildings have survived to the
present day.
By :937, some 26 residences existed along Bristol Street in the
project area. All of the residences listed previously ire this report as
potentially significant were in place by 1937. K. L. Harbert had an
address at 305 South 8ri5tol, one of the previously discussed properties.
Mr. kar -bert wal. apparently �)Peratiijq a 'business from this residence, since
the directory contains the notation, "Grange County Distributing Company."
It will be recalled that E. A. Walker was the constructor and owner
of the large residence at 1248 West Bishop Street. The 1937 directory
indEcates that E. A. walker was at that time operating a feed mill, known
as Banner Mills, at 605 .South Bristol Street. The mill torttinued to op-
erate until at lent 1947 (Southern California Directory Company 1937, kest}
errs Directory Company 1947).
the major development of Bristol Street occurred during the 195Os.
The decade of the 1950s saw the construction of Pater Dei High Schooi.
two churches, seven tract residentiaT developments and a gnat number of
commercial and retail establishments. The development continues to the
present day.

1. Four structures exist along Bristol Street in the project area
which are old enougl for consideration for historical pre5ervatien. Of
these, Only the Walker hDoLse at 1248 %best bishop Street, Y)as features in
addition to age which make it a strong candidate for preservation.

2. A major facility, the Orange County Agricultural Fair Association
race track existed immediately east of Bristol Street between McFadden
Avenue and Edinger Avenue. This facility was erected in 1890 and was used
for about a decade.
3. The subsurface of the project area is not likely to contain
valuable paleontological Material.
4. Data does not exist, with which to assess the archaeological
sensitivity of the study area.
RECOMMENVATI ONS
1. A Request for Determination of Eligibility should pe prepared
and forwarded to appropriate state a.gerncies for the Walker House located
at 1248 West Bishop Street.
2, All other strictures existing along Bristol Street, within the
study area are considered as having no features or associations which
would render them eligible for inclusion in the National Register of
€3istor•ic Places. It is recommended that no further research effort be
expender.
3. The subsurface in the area or the 1890s race track may conicain
artifacts of historical importance. Excavation an the east tide of Bristol
Street between McFadden Avenue and Cdinger Avenue should be monitored by
a qualified archaeologist historian equipped to quickly document and re-
cover any important material which appears. Any material recovered should
bn described in a professional report and the material should be donated
to d local Oisterical society.
4_ Since the archaeological sensitivity of the area has not been
established, all excavation wGrk should be periodically inspected by an
archaeologist. This inspection may be terninat4�d in any given area when
clearly undisturbed natural deposits are reached, The archaeologist must
be pry- ,paved tc quickly assess trig �ajue 3f an)o wratiarial iii appears, and
to quickly document anal recover the material. Any material recovered
should be described in a professional report and the material should be
curated at a local taciliLy with the resources for protection and display.

3. Historic resaurces: The first step in the effort
to identify historic properties In the study area luvolved an
Rxamination of the APEI and recording of;
a. Address of each existing structure.
b. Approximate age of each structure as
determined by architectural style} condition and other factors.
C. Obvious modifications.
The next step was to examine pubis, records such as the
building permit files of the City of Santa Aria to determine the
true date of construction of many of the structures. Residences
which were clearly less than 50 years of age were eliminated
frcrn further research effort. Parcel numbers and current owner
information for those buildings exceeding 50 years of age was
obtained from the records of the Orange County Assessor. During
this phase it was determined that two buildings in the AP91 were
not 50 years of age, but had other strong reasons for
consideration for preservation. A 5wilding Evaluation Form far
each cf the buildings exceedkng 50 years cf age and for the two
additional important structu es was prepared, tc include at
least one photograph of each building,
The final step in the hi5tcric study was to examine archival
resources to establish a general history for the study area and
to determine if noted M storival figures had been associated
with any cf the structures for which evaluation forms had boon
prepared.

IDENTIPIED HISTORIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
No paieowtologicarl localities warc: idemt1kned during tK--
survey. The project area consists Qf Quaternary Riluvkum and is
considered too young to contain significant fossils. Details
are given in a later section of this report devoted tQ the
history of the study area-
No ar°chaeolQgical sitQS were i0entified during tmis Qurvev.
Archival research indicates that the study area had not been
previously examined for archaeological resources. Only very
limited and highly disturbed areas are currently available for
detailed examination, and no arnhaeologinai remains were noted.
Due to the lack of prior research in the area and the current
urn availability of the surfaW2 for ekaMina.tlQn It is not possible
to establish the archaeological sensitivity of the study area.
Twenty three structures withi- thu APE1 have potential for
consideration for preservation. Twenty one of these structures
are 50 years of age or older. Nineteen of the structures which
are in excess of fifty years of age were originally homes while
the Qther two were originally commercial establishments. One of
the commercial establishments has since been converted to a
dwelling, and several of the original homes have been Qonvertud
to commercial or office use.
The two structures whanh are not fifty years of age are a
church and a drug Store.
A building Evaluation Form has been prepared for each Qf *hp
twenty three identified structures. The addr eas and some
details regarding Poch structure are given below. The location
of each stTuotaare as shown on the Pro jec t Maps which appears on
page 7 of this report:
1. 202 North Bristol. African Methodist Church. This
building is not 50 years of age, since it was constructed as
part of the Santa Ana Army Pear Base AZAAAS} baring World war
11. The SAAAR became operational in 1942 and was used fur pilot
and navigator training throughout the war. Following the nal-
the SAAAS was not continnQ0 as an active base and tho buildings
and lard were sold_ These buildings played an important role in
early pest "OF Orange County history. Fur example. buildings
which once formed {dart of the SAAAB were used for classrooms at
both Santa Ana Community College and uoldenwest College. The
four chapels from the SAAAB were moved and became civilian
churches. Three of these are still in existQnne; one in the
City of Costa Mesa and the other Kwo in the City of Santa Ana.

R. 1302 West Santa Ana Boulevard. The Bristol Drug
Company. The building, constructed in 1947, fronts on Santa Pna
Boulevard with the east side of the building along Bristol
Street. The Store front makes Use of a Variety of Colored
materials, a great deal of neon lighting and many translucent
glass bricks. These features make thin buildi —g a psistin¢
example of late 1940s commercial architecture. The building is
in excellent condition and has undergone very little
modification since construction.
3. 12+9 2nd Street and 207 North Bristol Street.
These two buildings are currently under singlo owversnip4 and it
is felt that this has probably been true throughout the life of
the buildings. 1249 and Street is presently in use as a
dwelling, but it has been converted to that use from an original
commercial role. The building nas a loft door on the northern
end which apparently permitted access to material storage at one
tire. The adjacent building at 207 North Bristol currently
houses a metal plating shop. This activity goes back to at
least the early 1960a and may represent the original activity of
the establi5nment.
Z+. III North Bristol 5treetr This structure is
probably the oldest to be found in the Study area. An exalt
date of construction could not be deterMirsed, but the
architectural features argue that it dates to the early 1920s.
The address of 111 forth Bristol Street is embossed In a
concrete step ad ;acent to the house, but may not be a worreptl-r
used address. The house is located on the carne parcel and in
the rear of a 1950s house "hick has the address 1252 2nd
Street. The house appears to be in reasonably good nQndition.

AREA HISTORY
FALEONTOLOGYi
The following section of thin report was prepared by Mr.
Rodney E. Raschke, an 0rangs County Certified Paleontologist.
A review of the latest published geological map of the area
revealed that 8ristoE street between First Atr-eet and Memory
Larne is underlain by Quaternary alluvium (Murton et al . 1973) .
These deposits were laid damn by the Banta Ana diver.
Typically. these deposits are less than 10,000 years old. which
makes them geologically tea young tc contain fossils. There are
DO confirmed records of fossils from these oeposiis in the Ganta
Ana area. There are unconfirmed guestionaU1e reports of the
remains of "Ice Age" animals from the alluvium, However- "0
fossils are available to support tnQ5e reports.
Quaternary a11"Vium is conside -ed to have E ?ow
paleontoWgiWal sensitiaity cpotential for the discovery of
foasil5}.
Fused on the low paleontological sensitivity of the rock
unit exposed in the aristvl Street area and the shallcy "ature
of the excauatiuns associated with the proposed projoQ t, it is
unlikeLy there will be any adverse impact on the paleontological
reaources of the Sancta Ana area. Therefore rro paleontological
monitoring will be neeee5ary during the wideninq of Bristol
Street between First Street and Memory Larne.
The above evaluation is based an a revieo of the publisher
and ix-published iocality records of the Natural History Nuspum
of Los Angeles County and thQ Natural History FoyDdatioD o�r
orange County. No pale5vtological field survey was conducted
during this study.
ARCHAEOLOGY
ChronWog : The Native Amer;oan group which once lived in
the Study area are known as Gabrirelinu . However, this name wao
bestowed by the Spanish and is derived from associat.iun with
1 •J
Mission San Gabriel. The name the native population used to
identify itself is nut known Wreeber 17251.
The date of the earliest human occupation of the study area
is disputed, but most scholars would agree that a human presence
was established along the southern California coast by 7500 B.C.
The artifactual record left by these early people indicates
that they subsisted primarily by hunting. The tools they left
are generally quite large and the bulk of then are chipped
iithic toolss such as projectile paints and scrapers, or the
remains of chipped tool manufacture, such as flakes and cores.
Many of the projectile points are finely reader while most of the
other tools are crude. This era is known locally as the Early
Man e'er vud ,
The millennium centered around 5500 P.C. reveals a major
shift in the artifactual record. The large, finely made
projectile points of the earlier period give way to somewhat
smaller and more crudely made points. Grinding tools for the
processing of hard seeds become the predominant artifact types.
These grinding implements are known as manQS, the smaller hand
held stone, and metates, the larger tools against which the
seeds were ground. Thu metates often display deep baairrs.
The appearance of rungs and metates is generally interpreted
as a major shift In subsistenne strategy, with a decreased
dependence on animal resources and an increased dependence on
the gathering of wild seeds. However, this shift may not pe as
pronounced as originally thought. Recent work igdicates that
hunting cQnK noed to be relativelY important (Drover, Konrper
and LangRnwalter 1733). This second era of the local
arthaeelcgical sequence is known as the Millirg Stone Period.
Locally, the Milling Stone Period persisted until about 1000
B.C., when a new tool combination, the mortar and pestle, was
introduced. These new tools ushered in the Intermediate
Cultures Period.
The mortar and pestle is generally related to the processing
of the acorn as a fQad resource. However, the use of mano5 and
metates continued unabated, sp the introduction of the mortar
11
and pestle indicates utilization of acorns as a supplemental
food resource rather than as a replacement for other resources.
Projectile points become much Smaller during the Intermediate,
probably indicating the first use of the bow and arrow in the
study area. The Intermediate also saw the first iooal Use Of
steatite. Steatite is a soft, easy to work material and was
used for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from cQoking
utensils to items of personal decoration. The steatito was
imported from Santa Catalina Island, proof that the Intermediate
people had mastered local open ocean travel.
The final phase of native culture is known as the Late
PrehistOric Period, and it began around A.D. 750. The Late
Period is charanterized by changes in mortuary practices end by
rather dramatic incrwaay in the use cf shell for decoration and
funntional tools. Projectile points become smaller still and
are generally more finQly Worked than in the prUEUdprig era.
Pottery appeared in 5omw quantity near the end of the period.
The local chronology, a5 it is presently understood, is
summarized in Table 1. which appears on the following page. The
above description and Table 1 are based primarily on Koe3rper and
Drover (1983).
ArChaeologival Research: On 14 October IQ96 a literature
review was accomplished at the Archaeological Gurvey, University
of Califormlap Las Angeles, the repository of archaeological
data for orange CQuntyr. the records of the Anthropology Muve"m,
california State University, Fullerton hau been prevsQu5ly
examined.
the literature revIeW established that the study area had
never been examined for archaeological remains and that no
aFahaeclogical sites had been recorded in the immediate
vicinity. Essentially all of the study area had been built -up
prior to the introduction of requirements for pre - construction

HISTORY:
Bristol first appeaT-15 as a fLMC:tiOn$1 rQute in an 1E377 work
entitled "Map of the D3unty Elf Los Angeles." This map was
--c3mp11Sd by 3.H. Hi ldy Duputy County Sur -urCyor , and A.J.
Stahlberg, Civil Bristol Street exi5teb in 18 77 o -tiv
to thg South of the currurFt intersection with First StTeet, so
did not exist within the current project AFE I. There wene three
proRf-2rty ow.irers within the area which would become Rristel
Street north of First Street. Two of the flrouerty owners are 3.
Chaves} who owned the southernmost parcel z+m;nediately north of
First Street, and J. Ross. wahQ owned property north of the
Chaves parcel. The name of the third property owner is very
difficult to read, but could possibly be ftybury. Two
structures .pure in existence in 1077 in the vicinLty of what
would became Bristol Sheet. Hoth•T of thL-se were located about
500 feet to east of the current Bristol Street right of way, so
were well Outside the APET. Neither of these buildings has
survived to the present day.
The 1901 United Statefi Coast and Qeodetic Survey Anaheim arid
Santa Ana streets reveal that Bristirl Street was opera between
First Street and Memory Large by that date. Some ?1 structures
were adjacert to aristel 15treet wlthiri the APF-1. Five of these,
two art the west and three ors tttie east side of $ric�tol arP
between First and Fifth Streets. It is xr,terastinq Ulat near
rifth Street there is an approximate 100 foot offset in Bristt-�l
Street., with the portion north of Fifth Street being further to
'he east. Three jjt1- UCVUreS werR located at widely spaced
intervals on the west -5ide of Bristol Street between Ninth
14
Street and Washington Street. Seventeenth Street terminated
from the east at Bristol street. one structure was located just
north Of Seventeenth on the east side of Bristol. The two
remaining structures were loc ,4ted east of Bristol and just south
of Santiago Creek. Nqrie Qf the -.e Structure6 have survived to
the present day.
The 1442 maps ❑f the project area indicates that the area
along Bristol between First and Seventeenth was entirely
built -up by that date, excepting only a small parcel immediately
Southwest of the Bristol Street /EeverGtg4--rGth Street
intersection. This is the parcel which eventually became Santa
Ana Community College. Six buildings are located along Bristol
north of Seventeenth Street. None of the buildings north of
Seventeenth Street depicted on the 1F4o2 maps haves survived to
the present dayr but many fvom this era exist in the Qutherly
portion of the APSE.
During the first post war decader 1946 to 1956, the APEI
under "ent major development. Sar~ta Ana COmmunity College became
Operational during the early part of this decade to meet the
educational needs of the rL:�turnir~g servicemen. Originally.
Santa Ana Cpmmurnjty College utiIized buildings which had been
Purchased from the Santa Ana iqrmy Air Base and moved the college
site. None of these buildings survive to the present day.
South of Seventeenth Street m8ny small commercial E�stabli5ihments
such as gasoline statkons, restaurants and general Offices were
erected. in addition, nsafly ❑f the existing residential
struture were converted to commercial offices us &.
The development north of Seventeenth Strout was somewhat.
different. This area had been largely devoted to citrus groves
with only a few scattered structures. All of these structures
were removed and the bulk of the area was devoted to tract
duplex housing. Horner Shopping Plaza to the northwest of the
intersection of Sri5tal and Seventeenth was built, as was
Santiagp Elementary School east Of Bristol. The bridge spanning
Raotiago Creek was installed in 1947.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The APEI is not expected to contaln valuable
paleontological material.
2. The archaeological sensitivity of the APEI cannot be
assessed due to the lack of prior research in the area and the
current heavy construction which precludes examination of the
ground surface.
3. Twenty three buildings exist within the APEI which have
potential for historic preservationi
a. Twenty one of the structures are 50 years of age or
older. None of these buildings have any noted historical
figurez associated with them. While some of the structures have
interesting architectural elements, none has features which cart
be considered unique. Several of the buildings have undarg❑ne
rather extensive remodeling. including some structures Nhich
have been converted from residential to office USE. Doe
structure has been converted from commercial to residential use.
Name of these buildangs are considered sufficiently unique tQ
warrant further consideration for historical preservation.
b. The African Nethodist Church at 202 North Sri5tol
Street was originally constructs# as a chapel at the Santa Area
Army Air Base and was moved to its present location in 1547.
Since being relaoated the Original clapboard 5idirg gf the
structure has been replaced with stucco. While the church is
a5sa❑iated with important recent historical evonto, the
celocation and extensive remodeling detract greatly from its
histor it valise. The building nannut hu nonside+ -nd unique since
three of the four chapels origi"ally constructed at the Santa
Ana ArMV Air Base are still in existenve. The building is not
sufficiently historically significant to warrant further
consideration for historical preverva,tiQn.
C. Tha Bristol Drug Company building at 130E West
Santa Ana Boulevard is a pristine example of late 1940B
Commercial architecture. However, it has no historical
associations and is therefore not oufficiently significant to
warrant farther consideration for historical preservation.
16
4. Since buildings have existed within the OPEI SiM e
before the turn of the century} it i5 possible that important
historical deposits exist in the subsurface in toe form of
fqundatigns, trash deposits, filled privy pits and other such
material
RECOMMENDATIONS
PA1.,EONTOLOWCALI: No further research *s recommended.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL:
1. Since the archaeological sensitivity of the APEI cannot
be assessed it is recnmmended that an archaeologist monitor the
initial stages of grading
. The archaeologist should be prepared to quickly document
and recover any cultural material which may appear.
3. Monitoring need not be accomplished in these areas where
clearly undisturbed Oedrock units are exposed.
4. All recovered archaeological material should be
described in a written, report which receivee Gufficient
distribution to insure its availability to future researwher5.
5. All recovered archaeological material Should to donated
tv a local institution, which has the proper facilities for
curatien and display.
HISTORICAL
1. A historical archaeslogist should monitor the initial
stages of trading. This monit ❑rinq may be accomplished by the
same person retained to perform the archaeological monitgring
recommended above.
2. The historical archaeologist should be prepared to
quickly document and recover any important historical material
which may appear.
3. Monitoring need not be accomplished in those areas where
clearly undisturbed bedrock units are exposed.
4, All recovered historical material should be described in
Q written report which receives suffivient distritrQtion to
insure its availability to future researchers.
17
5. All recovered historical materiai shouid be donated to a
local m5titutLan which has the proper facilities for curation
and display.

The Edward A. Walker Residence: 1248 West_ Bishop Street /605 South
Bristol Street, Qua Ana, California.
Arrh i to L-tLlTal Description
The Walker Residence consists of a two sk-ory wood frame and
stucco residence. It is designed in a manner influenced by the
Mediterranean /Mission styles, although its building; form is that_
of a Classical Box. The strrueturc is built in a rectangular
building plan, and is in excellent condition. Major architectural
features include a raised central main entrance, a lea l f -J ength
corner porch with hipped roof, a main entry pediment, a centrally
located hipped roof dormer, and a hipped tile roof. Arc_huec_t-ural
details incl u& a walled porch /patio, flat window and doorway
surrounds, sash windows, bracketed eaves, meLal downspouts, the
rooting, and a chimney. The chimney is detailed with twin "Wrr
metal braces, in reference to the Walker family name. the main
residence retains its architecturai integrity and is unaltered.
Associated fevuures include three outbuildings; a garage, a
"summerhouse ", and a greenhouse. The garage is of a similar
design and it hu s an identical hipped the roof. The
"summerhouse" is a onc roam unit with both bath and kitchen
faci li L les. The greenhouse leas o board- and - batten addition with a
fireplace, Each of k-he outbuildings is one story in height dad
they are in good to excellent condition.
The structures are built on a flat lot, located at the southeast
corner of the intersection of Bristol and Bishop streets in the
City of Santa Ana. The property itself is landscaped with mature
t=rees, shrubs and flowering plants. The landscaping is maintained
to poor to fair condirion, and the rear portion of the property
is fenced.
Historical Stymary
Built in 1922, Un Walker residence is an excellent example of an
archiLoct-ural variation of the Classical Box as influenced by the
Mediterranean /Mission styles. City and County VrweVories
indicate that Walker was located at this address as curly as
190€3. Fhe present residence flocs, therefore, replace an earlier
residential unit at tho same address.
Thu oarlicst record of Edward A. WaKerts presence in Santa Ana
is documented in the City i}rrecrory for 2901. No occupation is
1
listed and Walker is referenced as residing at 201 Sycamore
Street_. Walker appears to have been unmgrricd at this time, and
he was probably renting at this address as he is not listed as a
"householder". but as a "resident ".
By 1905, Walker had married Minnie B. (maiden name unknown) and
had moved to 212 South Main Street. He was employed as a baggage
agent for the Santa A Railroad, and is listed as a resident_ at
the above acldrezn.
In 1908, Edward A. and Minnie B. Walker are listed as living at
605 South Bristol Street. Walker is, at this time, referred to as
a "rancher''. By 1910, Walker is listed as a "householder" at the
Rri.stol Street address . Tnterestingly, Walker appears to have
remarried, as his wife is now fisted as Nellie Walker. Edward
and Nellie Wa1kct continued Lo reside at the Bristol Street
address from 1910 to 1917, during which years Edward is listed as
either a "rancher" or "tfaTmcr " . Tn 1918, however, Walker j5
listed as the owner of a poultry ranch.
In 1922, Walker is listed as the owner of the "Model Poultry
Farm " at b05 South Rr i st of . There is no reference to Nellie
Walker in this year, quggcsting that Walker was no longer
married. In this year, Walker both expanded his poultry business
and built_ the present residence. From 1922 to 1927, Walker
continued to operate his Model Poultry farm, and was one of five
poultry business operations in Orange County. The 1927 City
Directory also indicates that Walker had remarried, and that his
new wife was named Helen D. Walker.
Edward and Helen Walker operated the Model Poultry farm from 1927
to 1928. In 1929, Walker is listed as the proprietor of "Bander
Mills", a feud and grain buninons located at 605 South Bristol.
Banner Mills was originally founded in 1894, by Froncis J.
Ro(d)gers and it was originally lauatcd at 307 -309 French Street,
in Santa Ana, The mill operated a 30- horsepower engine which
could run on either coal or oil, to grind wheat flour, cornmeal,
and a variety of stock feeds using the "Urr stone methW .
Banner Mille was operated by Rodgers until 1921, when various
crap failures and transport_at_ion innovat. ions forced closure of
the mill. City Directories do not list Banner Mills, as operated
by Rodgers, after 1918. However, according to historian Jim
Slecper, the mill survived until 1921.
Walker apparently purchased the milling equipment and the name of
Banner Mills prior to 1929, at_ which point he hegan operation of
a new Banner Mills at the Bristol Street address. Banner Mills
did, in fact, replace the Modcl Poultry )"ram as a business, as no
additional reforcnces Ou tho poultry farm are found after 3927.
Banner Mills is listed a "feed & brain" business its 1929, and it
remained in operation untii at ledgt 1945 when reference to it is
dropped From City Directories.
2
In 1951, walker cantinocs to ;wide at the Bristol Street
address with his wife Helen, but he now listed as "retired ". Tn
1952, Walker is listed a9 1LYing at 1248 West Bishop Street (the
same property), and he presumably continued to re5ids at this
address until his death, although the property was transferred to
trhu Catholic Bishop of Orange as early as 1950.
The residence is presently owned by the Catholic Church, and is
occupied by clergymen associated with the operation of Mater Dei
High School,
In summary, Walker is known to have been a Santa Ana resident as
early as 1901. He doeR not appear in County Directories for 1894,
and it must_ be assumed that_ he moved to Santa Ana at some point
between 1894 and 1900. From 1901 to 1905, Walker was not a
householder, although he was employed by the Sant5 Fe Railroad.
By 1908, he is both a householder and a &E-employed rancher
residing at the Bristol St=reet address. Walker appe=ars to have
thrived, for between 1905 and 1929 he established a small ranch,
a Model Poultry Farm, built a major residence with associated
features, and became the proprietor of Banner MiL1y. Winker never
achieved major regLOPal significances, for he is not reEwrc.nced in
any standard reference works of the period. I3owcvcr, he may be
regarded as having considerable local significance due to his
association with t_he agricultural industry in Orange Chun t_y , his
specialized interestq in poultry, and Ku operation of Banner
Mills.
Integr>_t_y
The Edward A. balker residence retainn i ntcgrity of design,
location, materials, workmanship and association. The setting has
been altered by more recent residential development in the
surrounding neighborhood, and the Kmolitian uE the mill
structures which were a part of Banner Mills. The main residence-
and the three associated features are, howeVOT , unaltered on the
exterior, and they represent an unusual and intact unit in Santa
Ana. In conclusion, the Walker property retains a high degree of
integrity.
Sunifirafice
T'hu Edward A. Walker reside=nces is eligible at the local level to
the National Register of Historic Places in accordance wlt_11
Crit_cria A, B, and C. First, the property is associated with the
development of the agricultural industry in berth Santa Ana and
Orange County. Walker's establishment_ of his Model Poultry Farm
and his subsequent esLuhli hmont of Bannur Mills spans are
unusually long period extending from the late 10h Century (the
original Banner Mills) to circa 1950, and it oczerdin IN
qualifies under Criterion A. Second, the house was the residence
of Edward A. Wal kcr, a prominent local businessman. The louse was
built at the beginning of Walker's rapid expansion of his
3
business interests in Santa Ana. Despite the fact that Walker
never achieved regional significance, his local 8ignificance
qualifies the property under Criterion B. Finally, the residence
is an excellent and unaltered exampl -c of a variation of 4he
Classical Box a& carried out in the Mediterranean /Mission style.
Tt is a large example of i[s type, and is retains several
important associated features including a garage, "summerhouse",
and a greenhouse. As such, it i6 the best documented example of
its type in the City of Santa Ana, and is patentiaLly eligible
under Criterion C.
