cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced

enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise
provided for in this Agreement or in the City's regulations governing historic properties are

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: 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 fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential
style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
2401 North Flower Street qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" and "is associated with a significant person or
event in the city" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

The Hull -Carlyle House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the English Revival style. This house was
originally constructed in 1931, and was valued at approximately $4, 000, according to the original building permit. At the time
of its construction the listed property owner was Roy Russell, who was a contractor who subdivided the Floral Park
neighborhood. According to the 1935 city directory, the first recorded owner and occupant of the property was Martin Hull
who was a veterinarian. The next recorded occupant according to city directories is Elizabeth B. Schulte. Carlyle J. Wylie is
the next recorded occupant, who was a native Santa Anan and worked as the Orange County Recorder, and lived in the
property from some time before 1956 through 1980.

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 Hull -Carlyle House is located on the western edge of 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 Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000
each" (Orange County Reaister, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was
celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish
Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the
1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa Ana City Hall, the EI Toro Marine Base during World War ll, 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 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 Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Hull -Carlyle House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Typical features of this style illustrated by
the house include its one-story massing, low -pitch hipped roof, and rectangular form; multi-level eaves; divided light
casement windows; restrained porch; and dominant chimney. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key"
because it is an intact example of an English Revival residence in the Floral Park neighborhood, and `has a distinctive
architectural style and quality" and "is associated with a significant person or event in the city. " Character -defining exterior
features of the Hull -Carlyle House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to roof shape, configuration, and
eave detailing; original windows where extant; brick chimney; stucco walls; porch size and shape.

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

9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall
not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy
significant historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is
compatible with size, scale, color, material and character of the property,
neighborhood, or environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the stricture would be unimpaired.
