c. A view corridor enabling the general public to see the Historic Property from the public right-of-way shall be maintained, and Owner shall not be permitted to block the view corridor to the property with any new structure, such as walls, fences or shrubbery, so as to prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public. d. The following are prohibited: demolition of the Historic Property or destruction of character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs, doors, walls, and windows; storage of junk, trash, debris, discarded or unused objects such as cars, appliances, or furniture; and other unsightly by decoration, structure or vegetation which is unsightly by reason of its height, condition, or inappropriate location. e.

4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code Section 50286.

property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster. c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner, the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof or default hereunder.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs:
in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the onestory version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Park Santiago, the E.H. Richards House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. The residence consists of a side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing along the primary (east) elevation and along the rear (west) elevation. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad with a stucco exterior. The primary elevation features a prominent exterior chimney, extending past the roofline, flanked by two multi-light windows that meet windows facing north and south at the corners of the hipped roof wing. In an otherwise simply designed building, notable detailing includes lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports and the wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows. Fenestration along the north, south, and west elevations consists of wood hung windows and multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage also clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. The property is landscaped with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry. Alterations appear to include removal of paint from the brick chimney attached to the primary (east) elevation and either the addition of rustic window shutters or the removal of paint from extant window shutters.

Also address integrity) The E.H. Richards House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. It was built in 1948 for $14,000 by local developer and builder Floyd Rogers. According to City directories, L.J. Ahrens was the first occupant of the property but only resided there for two years until 1949. The property was subsequently sold to R. R. Yeaman who resided on the property until 1953 and then sold to P.A. Putnam, who only resided on the property for a year. Edward H. Richards purchased the property in 1956 and only resided there for a few years before selling the property to P. McClanahan. In 1919, E. H. Richards came to Santa Ana from Cortland, NY where he was the cashier and manager of the Cortland National Bank for over 20 years. In 1923, E. H. Richards succeeded former City of Santa Ana Mayor, John G.
Mitchell to become the President of the American National Bank. In 1924, E.H. Richards resigned and transferred to the Orange County Trust and Savings Bank. E.H. Richards was personally interested in civic affairs of the City and was an active participant in consideration of matters pertaining to the welfare of the City. Since 1964, the E.H. Richards House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2005. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

*B10. Significance (continued):
The E.H. Richards House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and 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 mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with singlefamily homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II.
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features exhibited by this property include its massing and composition; side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing; stucco exterior; multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style; lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports; brick chimney; and wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows.

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 City Council 28 – 16 6/21/2022

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of North Santiago Street in the Park Santiago neighborhood. The site contains a 2,131-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style residence and detached garage on an 8,600-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails Historic Resources Commission 2 – 1 5/5/2022

HRCA No. 2021-27, HRC 2022-1, HPPA No. 2022-2 – E.H. Richards House May 5, 2022
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, as the structure is 74 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The E.H. Richards House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style. It was built in 1948 for $14,000 by local developer and builder Floyd Rogers. According to City directories, L.J. Ahrens was the first occupant of the property but only resided there for two years until 1949. The property was subsequently sold to R. R. Yeaman who resided on the property until 1953 and then sold to P.A. Putnam, who only resided on the property for a year. Edward H. Richards purchased the property in 1956. In 1919, E. H. Richards came to Santa Ana from Cortland, NY where he was the cashier and manager of the Cortland National bank for over 20 years. In 1923, E. H. Richards succeeded former City of Santa Ana Mayor, John G. Mitchell to become the President of the American National Bank. In 1924, Richards resigned and transferred to the Orange County Trust and Savings bank. E.H.
Richards was personally interested in civic affairs of the City and was an active participant in consideration of matters pertaining to the welfare of the City.
The E.H. Richards House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. The residence consists of a side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing along the primary (east) elevation and along the rear (west) elevation.
The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad with a stucco exterior. The primary elevation features a prominent exterior chimney, extending past the roofline, flanked by two multi-light windows that meet windows facing north and south at the corners of the hipped roof wing. In an otherwise simply designed building, notable detailing includes lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports and the wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows. Fenestration along the north, south, and west elevations consists of wood hung windows and multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage also clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. The property is landscaped with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry. Character-defining features exhibited by this property include its massing and composition; side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing; stucco exterior; multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style; lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports; brick chimney; and wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows.

The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Park Santiago Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, 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, has been received from any members of the public.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Historic City Council Resources Commission 282 ––320 6/21/2022 5/5/2022 HRCA No. 2021-27, HRC 2022-1, HPPA No. 2022-2 – E.H. Richards House May 5, 2022
Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-26 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $972.08 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs:
in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped-down version of the historic-eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture “a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could afford” (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-story in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the onestory version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi-light casement, double-hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often display decorative wood shutters and porch-roof supports
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Park Santiago, the E.H. Richards House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. The residence consists of a side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing along the primary (east) elevation and along the rear (west) elevation. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad with a stucco exterior. The primary elevation features a prominent exterior chimney, extending past the roofline, flanked by two multi-light windows that meet windows facing north and south at the corners of the hipped roof wing. In an otherwise simply designed building, notable detailing includes lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports and the wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows. Fenestration along the north, south, and west elevations consists of wood hung windows and multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage also clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. The property is landscaped with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry. Alterations appear to include removal of paint from the brick chimney attached to the primary (east) elevation and either the addition of rustic window shutters or the removal of paint from extant window shutters.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1948 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The E.H. Richards House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. It was built in 1948 for $14,000 by local developer and builder Floyd Rogers. According to City directories, L.J. Ahrens was the first occupant of the property but only resided there for two years until 1949. The property was subsequently sold to R. R. Yeaman who resided on the property until 1953 and then sold to P.A. Putnam, who only resided on the property for a year. Edward H. Richards purchased the property in 1956 and only resided there for a few years before selling the property to P. McClanahan. In 1919, E. H. Richards came to Santa Ana from Cortland, NY where he was the cashier and manager of the Cortland National Bank for over 20 years. In 1923, E. H. Richards succeeded former City of Santa Ana Mayor, John G.
Mitchell to become the President of the American National Bank. In 1924, E.H. Richards resigned and transferred to the Orange County Trust and Savings Bank. E.H. Richards was personally interested in civic affairs of the City and was an active participant in consideration of matters pertaining to the welfare of the City. Since 1964, the E.H. Richards House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2005. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

*B10. Significance (continued):
The E.H. Richards House is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the I-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, “C Street” (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list “rancher” or “fruit grower” as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and 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 mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with singlefamily homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II.
The E.H. Richards House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features exhibited by this property include its massing and composition; side-gabled body with a projecting hipped-roof wing; stucco exterior; multi-light windows that meet at the corners, reminiscent of the Art Moderne style; lacy, wrought iron entry porch supports; brick chimney; and wooden ledge below the southeast corner windows.

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 Historic City Council Resources Commission 282 ––2340 6/21/2022 5/5/2022

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.

c. A view corridor enabling the general public to see the Historic Property from the public right-of-way shall be maintained, and Owner shall not be permitted to block the view corridor to the property with any new structure, such as walls, fences or shrubbery, so as to prevent the viewing of the historic landmark by the public. d.

property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster. c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner, the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadana); 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 wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Nearly perfect symmetry distinguishes the facade of this one-story Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalow. Sheathed with stucco, the building is topped by a flat roof. At each end of the three-bay wide façade, piers flush with the exterior walls anchor the façade roof treatment, which features tiled pent roofs over the side bays and a front gabled parapet marking the center bay. A second, smaller parapet, also flanked by piers, tops the porch that projects in front of the central entry. Tiled coping accents the roofline of each parapet. The porch space extends to the east and is defined by a low, stucco-covered wall. Façade fenestration consists of identical groupings of three casement windows, each of whose upper third is divided into three lights. In the center, the entry is framed by a flattened arch opening below the parapet. Decorative accents are provided by a circular vent in the upper parapet face, a diamond vent in the lower parapet face, and two diamond-shaped lozenges centered above the window groupings. A stucco-clad chimney is attached to the east elevation. The property also contains a one-story, stuccoed, flat-roofed garage, also adorned with a tiled pent roof. Other than the addition of a metal canopy and supports in the east bay of the porch, the house appears unaltered. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

Also address integrity) The Evans House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a popular variation on the Spanish Colonial Revival theme: the symmetrical, flat-roofed bungalow. According to City of Santa Ana building permits, the house and garage, valued at $3,200, were built in 1923 by William Ulm, a building contractor. The address first appears in the city directories in 1925, when Dale H. Evans, the principal of Greenville School, and his wife Elta were the residents. The Evans’ only occupied the house for a couple of years; from 1927 through 1929 Carl M. Stein, a salesman at Vandergast and Son, the men’s haberdashery on Fourth Street, and his wife Helen resided at this address. The property continued to change residents every few years through the 1940s. Occupations of the heads of household included the manager of the Schramm-Johnson drug store, a music studio proprietor, a salesman with the National Cash Register Company, an engineer, an account, the assistant supervisor of the American National Insurance Company, and a driver for the Atomic Express.

*P3a. Description (continued):
proportioned tripartite windows banded by diamond-paned transoms are located in the side bays. The central entry features three, small, rectangular lights arranged in an ascending pattern. Windows on the side elevations are primarily double-hung sash in type. All of the openings are topped by extended lintels. A picket fence encloses the property, which also contains a front-gabled garage in the rear. The house is substantially unaltered. *B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Evans House is located in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, which lies southwest of downtown Santa Ana and the Civic Center. Taking its name from two local elementary schools, the neighborhood is bound by West First Street on the north, West McFadden Avenue on the south, South Flower Street on the east and South Bristol Street on the west. In common with other areas not immediately adjacent to the historic core, Pico-Lowell saw a persistence of agricultural uses into the twentieth century. By 1912, when plat maps were drawn of Orange County, a little more than half of the neighborhood, primarily the eastern section, had been subdivided into residential-sized lots, with the remainder consolidated into ten large parcels. The city directories indicate that over one hundred homes had been constructed by this time. Home building continued to thrive during the 1910s and 1920s, tapering off by the end of the decade. As a result, the oldest homes in the neighborhood are small to medium sized bungalows, most representative of the Craftsman style of architecture. Those sections of the neighborhood that remained unimproved were developed in the post-war housing boom of the late 1940s and 1950s, when hundreds of modest California Ranch style homes were constructed. Today (2007), the neighborhood is densely populated, and its ethnicity has shifted from Anglo-European to Hispanic.
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. As an example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed bungalow, the house displays the flat front with attached porch, parapeted roofline, stucco and tile materials palette, and casement windows usually associated with this variation of the style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” Character-defining exterior features of the Evans House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch; chimney; and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond-shaped embellishments, and porch archway.

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 City Council 28 – 60 6/21/2022

Topic: HPPA No. 2022-4 – Evans House
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with Linda H. Miller. for the property located at 1015 W. Camile Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Linda H. Miller is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 1015 W. Camile Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Evans House, consists of an existing one-story Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalow style residence that is approximately 1,008 square feet in size on a 6,200-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Evans House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2007 and categorized as “Contributive.”
Analysis of the Issues
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. The property is listed on the Register and categorized as Contributive, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed Historic Resources Commission c – 1 5/5/2022

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 alterations to the property In 2007, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Evans House on the Register and within the “contributive” category for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. In addition, the Evans house was deemed architecturally significant and a good example of period architecture, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the PicoLowell neighborhood. Character-defining exterior features of the Evans House include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch; chimney; and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond-shaped embellishments, and porch archway.
Since its listing on the Register in 2007, the property has been improved only with new paint. Otherwise, the property has no identified unauthorized modifications. As part of the site visit to the property, staff noted several items to be included as part of the rehabilitation and restoration requirements during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement.
These include, but are not limited to the removal of a non-original metal canopy and supports in the east bay of the porch; replacement of damaged driveway; repair and restoration of deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired fenestration and stucco cladding; and the replacement of non-original porch tiles with more appropriate terracotta tiles.
These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-25 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $530.53 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted
Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadana); 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 wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

At each end of the three-bay wide façade, piers flush with the exterior walls anchor the façade roof treatment, which features tiled pent roofs over the side bays and a front gabled parapet marking the center bay. A second, smaller parapet, also flanked by piers, tops the porch that projects in front of the central entry. Tiled coping accents the roofline of each parapet. The porch space extends to the east and is defined by a low, stucco-covered wall. Façade fenestration consists of identical groupings of three casement windows, each of whose upper third is divided into three lights. In the center, the entry is framed by a flattened arch opening below the parapet. Decorative accents are provided by a circular vent in the upper parapet face, a diamond vent in the lower parapet face, and two diamond-shaped lozenges centered above the window groupings. A stucco-clad chimney is attached to the east elevation. The property also contains a one-story, stuccoed, flat-roofed garage, also adorned with a tiled pent roof. Other than the addition of a metal canopy and supports in the east bay of the porch, the house appears unaltered. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1900-1954 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: NR: C; CR: 3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Evans House is architecturally significant as an intact and representative example of a popular variation on the Spanish Colonial Revival theme: the symmetrical, flat-roofed bungalow. According to City of Santa Ana building permits, the house and garage, valued at $3,200, were built in 1923 by William Ulm, a building contractor. The address first appears in the city directories in 1925, when Dale H. Evans, the principal of Greenville School, and his wife Elta were the residents. The Evans’ only occupied the house for a couple of years; from 1927 through 1929 Carl M. Stein, a salesman at Vandergast and Son, the men’s haberdashery on Fourth Street, and his wife Helen resided at this address. The property continued to change residents every few years through the 1940s. Occupations of the heads of household included the manager of the Schramm-Johnson drug store, a music studio proprietor, a salesman with the National Cash Register Company, an engineer, an account, the assistant supervisor of the American National Insurance Company, and a driver for the Atomic Express.

*P3a. Description (continued):
proportioned tripartite windows banded by diamond-paned transoms are located in the side bays. The central entry features three, small, rectangular lights arranged in an ascending pattern. Windows on the side elevations are primarily double-hung sash in type. All of the openings are topped by extended lintels. A picket fence encloses the property, which also contains a front-gabled garage in the rear. The house is substantially unaltered. *B10. Significance (continued):
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing around the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.
The Evans House is located in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, which lies southwest of downtown Santa Ana and the Civic Center. Taking its name from two local elementary schools, the neighborhood is bound by West First Street on the north, West McFadden Avenue on the south, South Flower Street on the east and South Bristol Street on the west. In common with other areas not immediately adjacent to the historic core, Pico-Lowell saw a persistence of agricultural uses into the twentieth century. By 1912, when plat maps were drawn of Orange County, a little more than half of the neighborhood, primarily the eastern section, had been subdivided into residential-sized lots, with the remainder consolidated into ten large parcels. The city directories indicate that over one hundred homes had been constructed by this time. Home building continued to thrive during the 1910s and 1920s, tapering off by the end of the decade. As a result, the oldest homes in the neighborhood are small to medium sized bungalows, most representative of the Craftsman style of architecture. Those sections of the neighborhood that remained unimproved were developed in the post-war housing boom of the late 1940s and 1950s, when hundreds of modest California Ranch style homes were constructed. Today (2007), the neighborhood is densely populated, and its ethnicity has shifted from Anglo-European to Hispanic.
The Evans House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. As an example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed bungalow, the house displays the flat front with attached porch, parapeted roofline, stucco and tile materials palette, and casement windows usually associated with this variation of the style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an intact example of a symmetrical, flat-roofed Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow in the Pico-Lowell neighborhood, “is a good example of period architecture.” Character-defining exterior features of the Evans House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes (stucco, tile); roof configuration and detailing; massing; original windows and doors and their surrounds where extant; porch; chimney; and architectural details such as the parapet, diamond-shaped embellishments, and porch archway.

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 Historic City Council Resources Commission 28c ––1677 6/21/2022 5/5/2022

property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed.

6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner, the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30) days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be appropriate.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a representative and intact example of a Tudor Revival home. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Campbell-Jeffrey House is a one-story, single-family, residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a complex hipped and gabled roof with a fairly steep pitch, incorporating a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable, covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior of the building is clad with stucco and enlivened by decorative half-timbering that suggests a gothic arch. The primary (east) elevation is L-shaped, defined by the primary, projecting, front-gabled wing and a side-gabled wing setback approximately fifteen feet. A front-facing gablet projects from the side gable. Multi-light casement windows framed by white wooden shutters are centered below each front gable. Wing walls extend from either side of the front-gabled wing (north and south) towards two low porch walls with wooden pedestrian gates, one leading towards the front entry (south) and the second enclosing an uncovered front patio area (north). The front patio is further defined by an exterior, tapered, brick chimney extending above the roofline, half clad in stucco and capped by a course of bricks. The main entrance is located on the side (south) elevation and is arched and recessed within a gabled projection. The entryway is characterized by an original wood front door with an arched design, accessed via an entrance stoop and front porch walkway paved with non-original flat stone. A rear wing, topped by a hipped roof, terminates west end of the south elevation. Fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of multi-light casement windows and nine-over-one double-hung wood windows, each shaded with black fabric awnings with wrought iron spear supports. The property appears to be substantially intact, although a pair of double-hung sash windows further to rear on the south elevation indicate that the attic has been converted to living space. The driveway is located along the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, which is front-gabled and also clad in stucco. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Campbell-Jeffrey House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival architectural style.
It was built in 1928 for $6,500 by an unknown builder for D.W. Campbell. D.W. Campbell was the former Assistant City Treasurer (succeeded by Herbert P. Klotzly, was the general manager of the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, and headed the panel of the Rationing Board. D.W. Campbell resided on the property for two years before selling the property to Mrs.
Mary Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey was considered an Orange County pioneer, along with her late husband William Jeffrey who passed away in 1921. They were both prominent in the growth and progress of the community, since they arrived in Orange County in 1897. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey were born in Scotland. They came to California from Edinburgh and settled first in Antelope Valley in 1884. When they came to Orange County in 1897, they bought a ranch home in Irvine where they lived many years. They had six children, including a former Orange County supervisor, George Jeffrey. Mrs. Mary Jeffrey passed away in her home on December 6, 1938 at the age of 83. After Mrs. Jeffrey’s passing, the property was vacant for a year, then sold to P.A. Hodapp in 1940, who resided on the property until 1945. The property was sold in 1945 to L.H. Sheay who resided in the property until the late 1960s. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960- 2000s. Since early 2000, the Campbell-Jeffrey House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2020.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (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 Register, 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, homes in the neighborhood were mostly developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park.
Today (2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a representative and intact example of a Tudor Revival home. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Characterdefining features of the house include its massing and composition; fairly steeply pitched roof incorporating a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable; stucco exterior enlivened by decorative half-timbering; multi-light casement windows; original entry; and tall chimney.

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

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-1 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-1 (Exhibit 1).
2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Brent A. Ferdig, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Brent A. Ferdig is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2010 Greenleaf Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property is located on the west side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,968-square-foot, Tudor Revival style residence and detached garage on a 7,600-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).
Analysis of the Issues
Historical Listing
In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails Historic Resources Commission 1 – 1 5/5/2022

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, as the structure is 94 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival style. It was built in 1928 for $6,500 by an unknown builder for D.W.
Campbell. D.W. Campbell was a former Assistant City Treasurer, the general manager of the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, and headed the panel of the Rationing Board.

Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
Public Notification
The subject site is located within the Floral Park Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, 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, has been received from any members of the public.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-27 will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,016.51 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival home. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Campbell-Jeffrey House is a one-story, single-family, residential building constructed in the Tudor Revival style. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a complex hipped and gabled roof with a fairly steep pitch, incorporating a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable, covered in composition shingle roofing. The exterior of the building is clad with stucco and enlivened by decorative half-timbering that suggests a gothic arch. The primary (east) elevation is L-shaped, defined by the primary, projecting, front-gabled wing and a side-gabled wing setback approximately fifteen feet. A front-facing gablet projects from the side gable. Multi-light casement windows framed by white wooden shutters are centered below each front gable. Wing walls extend from either side of the front-gabled wing (north and south) towards two low porch walls with wooden pedestrian gates, one leading towards the front entry (south) and the second enclosing an uncovered front patio area (north). The front patio is further defined by an exterior, tapered, brick chimney extending above the roofline, half clad in stucco and capped by a course of bricks. The main entrance is located on the side (south) elevation and is arched and recessed within a gabled projection. The entryway is characterized by an original wood front door with an arched design, accessed via an entrance stoop and front porch walkway paved with non-original flat stone. A rear wing, topped by a hipped roof, terminates west end of the south elevation. Fenestration on the side and rear elevations consists of multi-light casement windows and nine-over-one double-hung wood windows, each shaded with black fabric awnings with wrought iron spear supports. The property appears to be substantially intact, although a pair of double-hung sash windows further to rear on the south elevation indicate that the attic has been converted to living space. The driveway is located along the south elevation and leads to the detached, one-story, two-car garage, which is front-gabled and also clad in stucco. *P3b.

Also address integrity) The Campbell-Jeffrey House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival architectural style.
It was built in 1928 for $6,500 by an unknown builder for D.W. Campbell. D.W. Campbell was the former Assistant City Treasurer (succeeded by Herbert P. Klotzly0, was the general manager of the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, and headed the panel of the Rationing Board. D.W. Campbell resided on the property for two years before selling the property to Mrs.
Mary Jeffrey. Mrs. Jeffrey was considered an Orange County pioneer, along with her late husband William Jeffrey who passed away in 1921. They were both prominent in the growth and progress of the community, since they arrived in Orange County in 1897. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey were born in Scotland. They came to California from Edinburgh and settled first in Antelope Valley in 1884. When they came to Orange County in 1897, they bought a ranch home in Irvine where they lived many years. They had six children, including a former Orange County supervisor, George Jeffrey. Mrs. Mary Jeffrey passed away in her home on December 6, 1938 at the age of 83. After Mrs. Jeffrey’s passing, the property was vacant for a year, then sold to P.A. Hodapp in 1940, who resided on the property until 1945. The property was sold in 1945 to L.H. Sheay who resided in the property until the late 1960s. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960- 2000s. Since early 2000, the Campbell-Jeffrey House has been occupied by various owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2020.

*B10. Significance (continued):
The Campbell-Jeffrey House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (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 Register, 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 II years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, homes in the neighborhood were mostly developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park.
Today (2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Campbell-Jeffrey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a representative and intact example of a Tudor Revival home. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Floral Park neighborhood and “is a good example of period architecture,” representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Characterdefining features of the house include its massing and composition; fairly steeply pitched roof incorporating a side-gabled body with a projecting front gable; stucco exterior enlivened by decorative half-timbering; multi-light casement windows; original entry; and tall chimney.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
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 Historic City Council Resources Commission 281 ––22130 6/21/2022 5/5/2022

b.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
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.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style and under Criterion 2 for its design by notable local architect Philmer J. Ellerbroek. The recommended categorization is “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as a good example of the Ranch Style and as the work of a prominent and respected South Coast architect, Philmer J. Ellerbroek (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the W.W. Woods-Ellerbroek House is a single-family residence designed by well-regarded local architect, Philmer J. Ellerbroek, in the Ranch Style. The building sits on a modestly sized corner parcel whose primary elevations face east and south. Its massing is primarily single-story that is L-shaped. The building includes a breezeway formed by fixed vertical louvered panels facing Santa Clara Avenue to the south which connects the garage and second story living space with the main residence. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a long, low-pitched roof ridge running parallel to the both east and south façades. The complex roof design is composed of a side-gable crossed with a hipped roof that projects slightly to the east, along the primary (east) façade. The breezeway at the primary (south) façade has a side-gabled roof that intersects a front-gable. The second-story living space above the attached garage is capped by a hipped roof.
The roof exhibits wide-open eaves with exposed rafters along all four elevations. The exterior of the house is clad primarily in board-and-batten siding and features painted brick at the primary (east) façade and minimal use of smooth stucco on the north elevation. The main entrance, which is located on the primary (east) façade, consists of paneled double doors that are slightly recessed and sheltered under the main roof. A row of six fixed, semi-translucent lites, which match the height of the main entrance doors, are immediately south of the entry.
