Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations to the historic structures (Exhibits B1 -B15). STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #2 (expand opportunities for conservation and environmental sustainability) and Objective #3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods). 25A -2 Historic Property Preservation Agreements December 1, 2015 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the property tax revenue to the City by an estimated amounts annually noted below, for a period of not less than ten years.

Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Michelle Gullion, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. Request of Applicant Michelle Gullion is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2713 North Lowell Lane to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. Project Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 2,436 square foot single -story Ranch style residence with attached garage on an 8,112 square foot residential lot located on Lowell Lane between Sherwin and Memory Lanes (Exhibit 1). 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 4:4 :1IIV" - 25A -17 HRCA No. 2014 -32, HRC No. 2014 -33 HPPA No. 2014 -46 November 5, 2015 Page 2 property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Sion 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Hensley and Kay House, has distinctive architectural features of the Ranch style of architecture, and was built in 1956 by Hensley and Kay. Character defining features of the Hensley and Kay House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco and texture, and wood siding); roof configuration and open rafter tails; wood windows, and architectural details such as the attached garage and decorative lathed porch supports (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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 incentive 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 • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -18 HRCA No. 2014 -32, HRC No. 2014 -33 HPPA No. 2014 -46 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement. Public Notification The subject site is located within the Morrison- Eldridge Park Neighborhood. The president of this neighborhood association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, a Morrison - Eldridge Park Neighborhood representative was contacted to ensure that they were notified of the project and to see if there were any areas of concern. No areas of concern were identified by the neighborhood association representative, nor was there a request that the applicant present the project to a meeting of their members. The project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a 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, had been received from any members of the public. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are exempt from further review under Section 15331, Class 31, as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Categorical Exemption No. 2015 -98 will be filed for this project. Strateglc Plan Alignment Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal No. 5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective No. 2 (expand opportunities for conservation and environmental sustainability) and Objective No. 3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods).

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, artstone, 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.

The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on 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. The Hensley & Kay House is located in Morrson- Eldridge Park (formerly known as Fallbrook Park until 1998). The area is bound by Fallbrook Drive to the north, Farmer's Drive to the east, Park Lane to the south, and as far as Bristol Street to the west. Morrison Park Is named after Judge Kenneth Morrison who cared deeply about local issues. Morrison Park added the Eldridge name in 1996 after Colonel William W Eldridge, a long time Santa Ana resident whose house stood on the land that is now Morrison Park. He was a highly decorated Marine pilot in WWii who also received the Navy Cross following his shooting down four Japanese planes in Okinawa, Morrison - Eldridge Park was once nearly all orange and walnut groves until the 1950's saw new residential development come to the area. It's most famous resident, Douglas "Wrong Wad" Corr) an for whom Corrigan Street is now named. In 1938, Corrigan, a pilot, filed a flight plan to go from New York to Long Beach, but ended up in Ireland. He claimed it was a navigational error. However, he had previously been denied permission to make a transatlantic flight. The "wrong way" gimmick was his way of getting around the rules. He moved to Santa Ana in 1950, purchasing a home and an orange grove. The Hensley & Kay House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 because it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Rench style. Typical features of the Ranch style of architecture include the building's wide horizontal massing, large picture windows designed to bring the outdoors "into" the living space, and natural materials used in cladding. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "is a god example of period architecture. Character-defining exterior features of the Hensley & Kay House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (wood siding); roof configuration and open rafter tails; wood windows, and architectural details such as the attached garage and decorative lathed porch supports.

Request of Applicant Masami and Machiko Koyama are requesting approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana for the property located at 2612 North Flower Street. Project Location and Site Description The subject property is known as the Roehm House and consists of a 1,617 square foot single -story Tudor style residence with attached garage on a 10,454 square foot residential lot located on Flower Street between Sharon Road and Memory Lane (Exhibit 1). It was designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical properties in 2006 and was categorized as Contributive (Exhibit 2). Analysis ofi the Issues 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 3). 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 incentive 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: EXHIBIT B2 25A -31 HPPA No. 2015 -07 November 5, 2015 Page 2 • Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the Historic Resources Commission recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Masami and Machiko Koyama, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

ARCH ITECTURA.LSTYLE; English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins., are rounded rather than pointed Windows are usually clustered in groups on the facade and are often multi -paned casement in type.

Significance (continued): Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant (mown 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 around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses. The Roahm House is located in north Santa Ana, In the MorrisonlEldridge, Parkneighborhood. An irregularly shaped area straddling North Flower Street, MorrisonlEldridge Park 1s bounded by the Garden Grove (22) and the Santa Ana (5) freeways on the north and east, Sharon Road and Memory Lane on the south, and North Bristol Street on the west. With the primary exception of the 2600 block of North Flower Street, this area remained unsubdivided and presumably agricultural through World War It. According to the city directories and early maps, North Flower ended at Seventeenth Street until around 1915, when six homes were noted north of Seventeenth, including three north of Santiago Creek. By 1020, there were nine homes, Including one (2610, later numbered 2620), In what would become the MorrisonlEldridge Park neighborhood. Construction of three additional homes on the 2600 block occurred between 1925 and 1930. Beginning with a handful of homes constructed on newly told out streets in the first few years of the 1950s, the area exploded In the mid 1950s with the building of tracts of homes In the California Ranch style. Home building in the neighborhood tapered off in the 1960s and ended around 1972. The Roehm House qualifies for lists ig in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Typical stylistic features illustrated by the house Include its mull- gabled roof of moderately steep pitch, use of an arch motif at the entry, and incorporation of multi -light casement windows, Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history "of the MorrisonlEldridge Park neighborhood and, as an intact and characteristic example of an English Revival style home, "is a good example of period architecture." Character - defining exterior features of the Roohm House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, plaster, brick); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; entry; chimney; and architectural details such as the entry surround and attic vents. *612.

Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing square foot, single -story Colonial Revival style residence and foot residential lot located on Santa Clara Avenue between 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 EXHIBIT B3 25A -39 HRCA No. 2015 -13, HRC No. 2015 -13 HPPA No, 2015 -14 November 5, 2015 Page 2 property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Moore House, has distinctive architectural features of the Colonial Revival style, and was built in 1941 by Allison Honer, prolific builder in the Santa Ana area. Character defining features of the Moore House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, and asphalt shingles), horizontal roof configuration and detailing; six - over -six windows and the fenestration pattern, recessed entry, and sidelights (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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 incentive 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 Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation B Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -40 HRCA No. 2015 -13, HRC No. 2015 -13 HPPA No. 2015 -14 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side - gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often Included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors. (McAlester, 320 -326; 331.332). SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Moore House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30 -2.2).

Significance (continued); Primary # HRi # Trinomial or # (Assigned by recorder) Moore House "Date November 5, 2015 ® Continuation D Update 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 on 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. The Moore 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts, 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 majorportion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353 -356). "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 "(0ranoe Coin Re ig ster, September 15, 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 Re ister September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s, . Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles, The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable pt oJects as the 1935 Art Deco - styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 the early post -World War II 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, tow, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Moore House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 because it is a "good example of period architecture "in the Colonial Revival style and is therefore categorized as "Contributive': Character - defining exterior features of the Moore House that should be preserved Include, but may not be lirnitod to, materials and finishes (stucco, and asphalt shingles), horizontal roof configuration and detailing; six -over -six windows and the fenestration pattern, recessed entry, sidelights.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Queen Anne (Late Victorian) The Queen Anne (Lute Victorian) (also known as tine Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last twenty years of the nineteenth century in the West, and was nearly as influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features include the front-facing gable roof; ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end; avoidance of flat wall surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal; and classical columns or pilasters. Multi- storied residential and commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well - developed examples can be found in California and in the southern states (McAlester, 263.268). .SUMMARY&ONCLUSIQN: Included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the llewitt house has been categorized as "Landmark" because the building "has a unique architectural significance" as an example of a Queen Anne (Late Victorian) country home (Municipal Code, Section 30- 22).

This large, two and a half story, front gabled home is typical of the late nineteenth century vernacular Queen Anne (Late Victorian) that almost defies stylistic classification. The complex roof is both hipped and gabled, with gable ends finished in patterned shingles facing east and south. Each gable face contains a semi - circular opening bisected by a flat- headed double -hung sash with a projecting sill and ornamental apron. Corner brackets support the overhang of the roof above a decorative frieze that circles the house above the second story. Narrow shiplep siding covers the house, accented by a band of fish -scale shingles between the first and second floors on a two -story bay projecting from the south elevation. At the same height as the shingled band, the pent roof of a capacious, L- shaped porch wraps the southeast comer and east elevation of the house, Battered piers on high concrete pedestals make a strange contrast with the delicately pierced design of the porch frieze, suggesting that the supports were a modification.

Also address integrity) The Hewitt House is architecturally significant as a unique example of a Queen Anne (Late Victorian) "country" home. According to previous research, it was built in 1889 by Roscoe Edwin Hewitt, a pioneer resident who had come to Santa Ana In 1874, and his wife, Allis Almire Palmer, daughter of Noah Palmer, another pionear and land speculator (Las). Professor Roscoe Hewitt is historically Important as one of Santa Ana's early educators, who taught in the one room schoolhouse built an the corner of Church (now Civic Center Drive) and Broadway in 1870 (Marsh, page 47). When the house was built at 1120 South Main Street, it was rather isolated and removed from town. The Hewitts occupied the property in 1896, and were succeeded by rancher Stephen Ross and his ramify. When Julia Lathrop Junior High School was built in 1924, the house was moved to its present location (Treasures, (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Transoms top the double door main entrance; a second entry containing a single door is located on the south elevation. On the north section of the facade, another two -story bay features a coved cornice and a small, spindle- raiied balcony. On the south elevation, the upper story of the two -story bay is adorned with elaborately carved corner brackets and another spindle- railing. The house was moved to this location in 1924 and it is likely that the porch modifications occurred at the same time. In 1942, it was converted into a duplex. Other modifications include security bars and construction of a concrete block wall towards the rear of the property. Nonetheless, the Hewitt House remains an impressive building, retaining a high degree of integrity. *610. 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 Sente Are. Early growth and development were stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the loading communities in the area In 1889 when 11 became the seat of the newly created County of Orange. The development of southern California Is general and Santa Ana in particular experionced a large boost in the second half of the 1880s, when competition between the two railroads triggered areal estate boom. Spurgeon's first subdivision extended from West (now Broadway) to Bush and from First to Seventh Street. As new tracts were subdivided, the city radiated outwards from this core, but remained surrounded by agricultural tands until well into the twentieth century. The Hewitt House was one of the outlying properties and reveals its age through its vernacular Queen Anne styling. The most popular residential style from the time of the Boom of the Eighties through the turn of the twentieth century, the Queen Anne is characterized by hipped roofs with lower cross gables, the juxtaposition of various types of siding, wraparound porches, cant bays, and decorative embellishments such as spindles, brackets, and friezes. All of these features are present on the Hewitt House. Due to Its generous size and substantial integrity, the house is a prominent feature of the sheetscape. The Hewitt House is included in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property and has been categorized as "Landmark." All original exterior features of the Hewitt House are considered to be character defining and ,should be preserved. These features Include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (shingling and siding); roof configuration and detailing; bays; veranda; windows; doors; and architectural detailing such as friezes. *612.

This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Richardson House, has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and was built in 19211 by Harold Richardson. Character defining features of the Richardson House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco and texture); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and composition; entry; doors and windows and fenestration patterns (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture, Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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 incentive 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 • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -62 HRCA No. 2015 -09, HRC No. 2015 -09 HPPA No. 2015 -16 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter Into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic sloped roof treatment incorporates rakes of uneven lengths, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are often rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition.

The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main end 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 grow 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. The Richardson House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross - McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single family homes over the next 25 years had begun, In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War N. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which Individual property owners could customize to their tastes ( "Weshington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride, " Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Richardson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as It Is a "good example of period archltecture'I All original exterior features of the Richardson House are considered to be character defining and should be preserved.

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. Born in the late 19kh century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The Russell House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2- a -4 -b).

Also address Integrity) The Russell House is architecturally significant as a relatively intact example of the Tudor Revival style and Is of cultural Interest for its association with Roy Russell, a prolific Santa Ana builder. Mr. Russell maintained offices in the Pacific Building located at 227 North Broadway, and lived on Victoria Drive, It is unknown If Mr. Russell ever actually lived In this building, because the first owners are shown to be Ray and Evelyn Wilson with sons Donald and Darrel in 1929. Prior to that the house was both for sale for $6,000 with $200 down and $55 1month or for lease. Unfortunately, Mr. Wilson died in the home that same year, and Mrs. Wilson was advertising for a housekeeper for a "widow with two children" by the end of the year. Mr, and Mrs. John Vernon purchased the home in 1930 and held many bridge parties in the home until Mrs, Vernon became hospitalized in 1939. She did return home where her three daughters, Berry Louise, Mary, and Peggy looked after her. By 1941, Harrison G. and Audrey White own the home, Harrison is very active with his son's (Harrison Jr:) Boy Scout Troop. Their daughter, Dorothy also maintained a busy social calendar. They sold the home in 1942 to Lieutenant Lemuel S. Benbury who made his mark in the world by graduating from Chemical Warfare School. The home changed hands a few more times after this.

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. The Russell 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts, and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builderAflison Honer (1897- 1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a majorportion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falis, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353 -356). "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 September 16, 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, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 11, and the 1960 Honor Shopping Plaza. Honer lived In the neighborhood he had helped 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 the early post -World War 11 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 (2008), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Rusself House qualifies for listfng In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion f for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Typical features of this style are stucco cladding with a steeply pitched roof. Character- defining exterior features of the Russell House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco hand troweled cladding); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; architectural details such as the original wood front entry door.

NO, ADDRESS 2502 North French Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1955 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD I Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric 0 Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form In the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930's 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. SUMMARYICONCLUSION The Brown House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion i for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch style of architecture.

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 do Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Milo 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 1669, 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. The Brown House is located in Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present northern city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of the original city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, Fast Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the l -5 freeway on the southwest. In large part, these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right -of -way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well Into the 1920s As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street' (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially told out, but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman -era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid- 1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes In the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z.B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C.H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapper/ the western half of the area, most of the tots had been Improved with single - family hornes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s, Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and Infill construction In the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following Werld War It, The Brown House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 3 because it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Ranch style. Typical features of the Ranch style of architecture include the building's wide horizontal massing, forge picture windows designed to bring the outdoors 'Into" the living space, and natural materials used In cladding. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because itpossesses "distinctive architectural style and quality" and is associated with prominent citizen, Harold R. Brown, of the Brown Colonial Mortuary. Character - defining exterior features of the Brown House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (wood siding); roof configuration and open rafter tails; wood windows and shutters, and architectural details such as the attached garage and curved porch supports.

The Historic public hearing, designate as a historical HRCA No. 2015 -12, HRC No. 2015 -12 HPPA No. 2015 -19 November 5, 2015 Page 2 property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the King House, has distinctive architectural features of the Tudor Revival style, and was built in 1930 by Lee F. King. Character defining features of the King House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and wood shake roof material); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; architectural details such as the original wood front entry door in a recessed opening, stained glass window, and niche (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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 incentive 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 • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -106 HRCA No. 2015 -12, HRC No. 2015 -12 HPPA No. 2015 -19 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

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. Born in the late 1P century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The King House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for Its exemplification of the characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2- a -4 -b).

The civic and commercial core of the community was centered on the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and Incorporation as a city in 1885, 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. The King 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts, 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 (Talbert, pages 353 -356). "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 Countv Realstor, September 15, 1961). 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 Reolster, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture In a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated In the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza, /-toner lived in the neighborhood he had helped create, at 616 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 the early post -World War 11 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. to the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2008), Floral Park maintains its Identity as the promler neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many effluent and prominent citizens. The King House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Typical features of this style are stucco cladding with a steeply pitched root. Further, the King House has been categorized as "Contributive" as it is a 'good example of period architecture." Character - defining exterior features of the King House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and wood shake roof material); roof configuration and detailing; original windows and doors where extant; architectural details such as the original wood front entry door in a recessed opening, stained glass window, and niche. 1112.

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. Born in the late 19`h century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARYICONCLU510N: The Ault House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style.

Mr. Ault began as a salesman for the auto parts firm of Hockaday, Harlow, and Phillips, By 1934, he had also purchased a service station in Brea known as the imperial Service Station. In 1935, he had become a purchasing agent and was well known in the community for his knowledge of automobiles and automobile parts. Going by "Carroll", Mc Ault was an intelligent man who, along with his brother, Alfred, was often noted in Honor Rolls throughtout his school career. Born in 1911, Mr. Ault married Dorothy, and together, they were very active in various civic activities. They had two children, Caroline and David, and while Carroll pursued his work endeavors, Dorothy was listed as staff for McKinley Elementary School located at 902 West Third Street. Dorothy was an avid bridge player, a member of a sewing club, and they entertained very often at their home. She was also a membership chairman for the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) located at 1411 N. Broadway, as well as being on the advisory board for the Santa Ana Salvation Army, She was noted in local media for her beautiful decorations and presentation for various events held at the home. Carroll's brother, Alfred, was once a photographer and reporter for the Santa Ana Register, and later moved to Bethesda, Maryland to become a Child Labor Inspector for the Board of Education in Washington DC. John Carroll Ault passed away In 1997, and Dorothy died on June 12 2012 after living 79 years in this residence. Both are buried at Fairhaven Cemetery, (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) B11.

Characterized by tall proportions, steeply pitched roofs, bracketed eaves, and most characteristically, exposed framing in the form of vertical or diagonal "stickwork," the style was most popular during the third quarter of the nineteenth century, The stickwork typically overlaid the siding, adorned the gable ends, or was incorporated into the structure of porches and balconies. The rectilinear quality of the Stick Style was often combined, in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, with "Eastlake ornamentation." Derived from the Furniture designs of Charles Locke Eastlake, an English designer and arbiter of taste who disavowed all connection with the architecture hearing his name, such ornamentation included turned wood columns and spindles, knobs, sawn brackets, and curvilinear perforations. In southern California, Stick[Eastlake characteristics were usually associated with the predominant Queen Anne style of the late nineteenth century. (whiffet, 109 -126). &IIMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Greenwald - Casazza House qualities for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion I for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Stick/Eastlake style of the nineteenth century. It also qualities for the Register under Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its historical /mdturn] significance rc the City of Santa Ana as a rare surviving example of a farmhouse in the Stick/Eastlake style.

A paneled door is the sole feature of the central bay of the fagade. Paired windows also define the south bay on bath levels. On the west elevation, a one -story sunroom, topped by a balcony, appears to have been an addition, perhaps dating to 1921. The only apparent recent alteration to the building is the removal of the porch that formerly shaded the entry. Formal landscaping at the front of the double lot appears to have also been recently renovated; however, the property may also retain several fruit bees dating from its period as a producing ranch.

Also address integrity) The Greenwald - Casazza House is architecturally significant as a substantially intact example of the SticidEastlake style popular during the late nineteenth century and historically significant as one of the few surviving farmhouses in Santa Ana in general and the Floral Park neighborhood in particular. The house was constructed In 1894, six years after Peter and Albertine Gruenenwaid purchased a 28 -acre property that extended from Greenleaf to Flower Street, north of Seventeenth Street. (Some sources put the size of the property at 26 acres.) Although Peter Gruenenwalrl passed away in 1895, Albertine Gruenenwaid stayed on the ranch with herson Herbert, raising apples, apricots, walnuts, and oranges. The 1913 plat map of the City showed the Gruenenwaid property as a single large parcel, which was not subdivided until 1929. Originally, the address of the house was 1720; this changed to 1810 in 1915.1916. In 1918, Herbert married, and he and his wife Ida occupied the home together until 1978, when Herbert died. Albartine moved to a rented home on Seventeenth Street (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.

The family changed their name to the more American "Greenwald" in 1919. After her husband's death, Ida Greenwald continued to live in the house until 1979. Ralph and Bonnie Casazza purchased the properly in 1985 and continue to reside in the house (2004). The Casazza's are owners of Florintine Studio Arts in Santa Ana (Personal communication with owner, September and October 2004). The Greenwald - Casazza House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by East Seventeenth Street. North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts 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 (Talbert, pages 353 -356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mc Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1961). The parcel chosen became the Floral Part( 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 r September 95, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 19205 and 1930s and Floral Pad( 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 Et Toro Marine Base during World War li, 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 the early post World War// 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains Its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many effluent and prominent citizens. The Greenwald - Casazza House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Stick/Eastlake style of the nineteenth century. Notable In this regard are the vertical emphasis of the building, the bracketed eaves, squared, two -story bay, and tire stick work ornament in the gable end. It also qualifies for the Register under Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark " for its historical /cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana. All original exterior, features of the Greenwald - Casazza House are considered character - defining and should be preserved, including, but not limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; bays; architectural details such as brackets and shol( wort, and original landscape features such as fruit trees. *B12.

Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical., or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side - gabled, hipped, or garnbreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and Penlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash, French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320 -326). SUMMARYlCONELUSION: The Parke House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of V-listorical Properties under Criterion I for its exemplification of the late Colonial Revival style. The house also contributes to the historic charewter of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, and scale. In addition, the Parke /St. Jaccues House has been categorized as "Landmark" because the building "appears to be eligible" to be placed on the National Register and the California Register and "has a unique architectural significance" as an intact and representative example of the late Colonial Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30.2.2).

The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek, "When built in the 1920s, the Floral Part( homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register September 15; 1981). Revival architecture, in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebratod in the 19206 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 EI Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clare 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 the eady post World Wart/ 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically hums to many effluent and prominent citizens. The Parke House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion I for its exemplification of the late Colonial Revival style. While incorporating the usual Colonial Revival vocabulary, such as shuttered, multi- tight, double -hung sash windows and a classical entry, the asymmetrical composition and the introduction Of a subtle horizontality are indications of the emerging split -level and ranch styles of the post World War flora. Despite its late date, the house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, and scale. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its unique architectural significance as an example of the late Colonial Revival style that contributes to the historic strootscape or North Victoria Drive. All original exterior features of the Storey House are considered character defining and should be preserved. These features Include, but may not be limited to: materials (wood and brick) and finishes (clapboard); roof configuration and treatment; massing and composition; porch; doors and windows; architectural detailing (such as the pilasters and fanlight); brick chimneys, steps and porch pavement;. and original garage. *B12.

The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration firm the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadahn); red tiled roofs and coping; low- pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco, The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama - California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, . where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low - pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry; balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Axworthy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the "distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style orperiod," the Spanish Colonial Revival.

Significance (continued): or # (Assigned by recorder) Axworthy House *Date July 28, 2003 ® Continuation ❑ Update 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. The Axworthy House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago do Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth conturies, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross - McNeal House at 1020 North Salter Street, dotting the landscape, By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes, The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single- family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War ll. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmelt Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Axworthy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the "distinguishing characteristics ofan architectural style orperiod." Stylistic signatures ofthe Spanish Colonial Revival such the stucco exteriors, filed roof, asymmetrical composition, arched openings, and pierced stucco grille are notable In this regard. Additionally, the house has been categorized as ' Contributive" because it 'contributes to the overall character and history" of the Washington Square neighborhood and is a 'good example of period architecture" as a highly intact example of a one -story Spanish Colonial Revival home from the 1920s. Character defining exterior features of the Axworthy House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco, wood, wrought Iron); roof configuration and treatment, massing and composition; doors and windows; porch; garage; architectural detailing (grilles); and chimney. *B12.

English Revival homes usually feature stucco wails and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic sloped roof treatment incorporates rakes of uneven lengths, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process, Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are often rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition.

The first owners of record are Robert and Grace Reid. Mr. Reid was the owner of the successful Reid Motor Company, The Santa Ana Register notes that the Raids were victims of burglary at the house In 1928, and two coats were stolen – a seat coat and a squirrel coat. The perpetrators were never caught. Reid sold the Motor Company in 1938 to W.R. (Stormy) Gordon and moves to Los Angeles. The house was sold to Robert and Mary Smith and It is assumed that the metal "S° affixed to the chimney was installed during this time. Unfortunately Mary died In the home on August 7, 1941, and Robert died later, that year. They are buried at Fairhaven Cemetery. The house was then purchased by Joel and Helen Ogle. An avid skier, Mr. Ogle, along with friends was famously snowed in at Big Beer in 1927, and had several search parties looking for them. A week later, the Ogle party made their way down the mountain. Mr. Ogle served as County Counsel throughout the depression, and during that time, had a salary of only $1. In fact, in 1932, he agreed to a 50% pay cut to earn only 50 cents per year: in 1934, the Ogle's had a tratedgy when their infant son died. Mr. Ogle becomes the Assistant District Attorney in 1938.

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. The Reid 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts, and widely scatterer( 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 (Talbert, pages 353 -356). '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 September 15, 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" (Qranga County Reo(star, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco- styled Old Santa Ana City Hat /, the El Toro Marine Base during World War Il, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Boner lived in the neighborhood he had helped create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1681- 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 the early post -World War it years, Floret 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 Floret Park. Today (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.

This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Cope House, has distinctive architectural features of the Craftsman Bungalow style, and was built in 1923 by Umphrey Cope. Character defining features of the Cope House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (wood siding and trim); original windows where extant, attic venting, massing and front facing porch (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 3). 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 incentive 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 • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -166 HRCA No. 2015 -15, HRC No. 2015 -15 HPPA No. 2015 -25 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches Into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s (McAlester, 453 -463). SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Cope House is substantially intact and Is designed in the Craftsman Bungalow style of architecture, and has been categorized as 'contributive" because it "is a good example of period architecture" in the Floral Park neighborhood.

Protect Location and Site Description The subject property consists of a 2,367 square foot, two -story Spanish Colonial Revival style residence and detached garage with porte cochere on a 7,920 square foot residential lot located on Ross Street between Santa Clara Avenue and Nineteenth Street (Exhibit 1). 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 EXHIBIT BIS 25A -179 FIRCA No. 2015 -1,7 HRC No. 2015 -17 HPPA No, 2015 -26 November 5, 2015 Page 2 property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30 -2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The property, recognized as the Spruance House, has distinctive architectural features of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and was built in 1930 by Elsie Whipple Spruance. Character defining features of the Spruance House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: exterior materials, original windows and fenestration patterns, original front door, front porch configuration, and attached porte- cochere and garage (Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the house be designated to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as "Contributive" because it is a good example of period architecture. Mills Act Aclreement 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 3). 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 incentive 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 • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alternations to the property 25A -180 FIRCA No. 2015 -17, HRC No. 2015 -17 HPPA No. 2015 -26 November 5, 2015 Page 3 Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

NO. ADDRESS 2215 North Ross Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1930 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD I Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric [ Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival The Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama - California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low- pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles; and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: The Spruance House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "is a good example of period architecture ".

Nall of California —The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial by Holly Soboleske *Date November 5, 2015 21 Continuation ❑ Update 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 on 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. The Spruance 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 oranges, avocados and walnuts, 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 (Talbert, pages 353 - 356). "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, September 15, '1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the '1920s, the Floral Paris homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture In a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the '1920s and 1930s; Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival styles. 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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped 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 the early post -World War 11 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 (2007), Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Spruance House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it is a "good example of period architecture ". (Municipal Code, Section 30 -2.2). Character defining features include of the Spruance House that should be preserved Include, but may not be limited to, exterior materials, original windows and fenestration patterns, original front door, front porch configuration, and attached porte- cochere and garage. *812, References (continued): Harris, Cyril M.
