DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:

The architectural style terminology is adapted from the National Register Bulletin 16A.

The Victorian Italianate style was one of the Late Victorian styles that flourished between 1860 –1890. The style emphasizes the vertical lines in volumes and elongated doors and windows. Wide overhanging eaves often with decorative brackets and hipped roofs, usually cap these buildings. Other significant features include balustrade balconies, corner quoins and rectangular windows with hood mouldings.

The Craftsman Bungalow architectural style is an early 20th century American movement, developed by Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena, California. The height of the movement is between 1900 and 1920’s. The Craftsman Bungalow is characterized by the use of natural wood for exposed massive beams and rafters and exterior siding. Some of the most prominent features are: low pitched gabled roof with wide overhangs and projecting brackets; the emphasis on horizontal shapes informally arranged; the use of shingles as exterior finish; broad, gabled entry porches; no applied ornament; creek rock foundations and porches. Many house include Japanese and Swiss influences in their exterior detailing.

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and boundaries.)
The unusual architectural character of this 1887 Victorian house can be explained by the 1925(1921?) remodel that added Craftsman elements. At that time, the roof was raised, adding more rooms on the second floor and the porch was redesigned. The ell-shaped gabled roof, accented with single exposed beam ends, rafter tails, and louvered vents, features a prominent front bay on the east side.

Casement windows with muntins in the top third are used throughout the second story. A railing of plain balusters, placed between square piers, borders the flat roof of the single-storied porch. Square wood posts, resting on paneled piers, support the 1925 front porch. From the Victorian era are the cut corners, tear drops, paired double hung windows with hood mouldings, and wide shiplap siding trimmed with corner boards.

HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:

Originally built by a Mr. Carden, the house was shortly after owned by the Titchenel’s, a town constable. One of Santa Ana’s most prominent pioneer families, the Titchenels came to the new village on November 9, 1869, one month after William Spurgeon bought the property that was to become Santa Ana. The Titchenels bought two lots. Tradition says that he built the town’s first house, on Fourth and Main Streets. This was the second house, built in 1887. Originally, the property covered the whole block from Wellington to Washington and French to Lacy Streets. The block was later subdivided and is known as the Titchenel addition. From 1881 to 1886 he also built and operated the Titchenel Block in downtown Santa Ana. Serving as an early peace officer, he also was a farmer, a builder, and a teamster. Osgood and Aurelia Catland, along with their daughter Irene, a teacher in nearby Tustin, moved into this house in 1906, purchasing it four years later. In 1910, Osgood is listed as an engineer. The Catland family lived in the house until the 1980’s.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
This example of residential architecture during the City of Santa Ana’s early formation years is located in French Park Historic District. This two story farm house was built during the early years of the development of French Park, a residential district advertised as the “Nob Hill” of Orange County. French Park was home to many prominent businessman, doctors, bankers, attorneys and civil servants from 1880 to the early 1940’s. This house is in excellent condition, and on its original site.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

This building is characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana. The house was built during the early formation and development of the City and French Park. While this building is associated with a significant person in the City, the Titchenel family, the subsequent owner extensively modified the house and it no longer reflects the architecture that existed when the Titchenel family lived here.

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 Resources Commission City Council 18 – c – 133 16 10/18/2022 9/8/2022

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. 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.

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 onestory in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story 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 William T. Elliott qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the gableand-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is 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 Floral Park, the William T. Elliott House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features the characteristic massing of the gable-and-wing enhanced by three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing, with little or no overhanging eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a stucco siding. The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by lacy wrought iron porch supports. The front entry features a six-panel wood door, flanked by a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows, and a prominent attached brick chimney. Along the east, west, and south elevation, the building incorporates a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows. The north elevation is enhanced with a prominent bay window with brick base and standing seam roof. A one-story, gabled, detached garage clad in stucco siding is located in the rear of the property, south of the residence. Alterations to the house include the removal of the original wood-shingled roof and installation of front porch terra cotta paving. When the original wood shingled roof was replaced in 1994, some eave detailing may have been lost. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a short driveway leading towards the rear, detached garage.

*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 to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.

The William T. Elliott House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.

And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana” (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. “When built in the 1920s, the Floral 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, they were mostly revival in 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 William T. Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the gableand-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Built in 1940 by the development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell, the house features the characteristic massing of the variant enhanced by three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing.

The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Characterdefining features of the William T. Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco siding); massing, roof configuration and treatment (three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing); porch with lacy wrought iron porch supports; brick chimney; bay window with brick base and standing seam roof; fenestration (wood-framed, two-over-two windows); and architectural detailing. *B12.

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022- 20 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-10 (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 Eriq Dominguez, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Eriq Dominguez is requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2222 N. Ross 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 east side of Greenleaf Street in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 1,476-square-foot, Minimal Traditional style residence and detached garage on a 6,100-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 City Council 18 – 6 – 173 1 10/18/2022 9/8/2022 HRCA No. 2022-20, HRC 2022-10, HPPA No. 2022-13 – William T. Elliott House September 8, 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 82 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

This house was originally constructed in 1940, and was valued at approximately $4,000 according to the original building permit. In 1941, the home was purchased by William T.

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 Historic Resources Commission City Council 18 – 6 – 175 3 10/18/2022 9/8/2022 HRCA No. 2022-20, HRC 2022-10, HPPA No. 2022-13 – William T.

Page 4 ends

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. 2022-82 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 $874.16 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the William T. Elliott House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. It features the characteristic massing of the gable-and-wing enhanced by three tiers of nested gables over the front-gabled wing, with little or no overhanging eaves. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a stucco siding. The focal point of the design is the central entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by lacy wrought iron porch supports. The front entry features a six-panel wood door, flanked by a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows, and a prominent attached brick chimney. Along the east, west, and south elevation, the building incorporates a series of wood-framed, two-over-two windows. The north elevation is enhanced with a prominent bay window with brick base and standing seam roof. A one-story, gabled, detached garage clad in stucco siding is located in the rear of the property, south of the residence. Alterations to the house include the removal of the original wood-shingled roof and installation of front porch terra cotta paving. When the original wood shingled roof was replaced in 1994, some eave detailing may have been lost. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a lawn, low vegetation and a short driveway leading towards the rear, detached garage.

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 onestory in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story 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.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The J.F. Berger qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Gable-andWing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is 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 West Floral Park, the J.F. Berger House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Built in 1953 and moved to this location in 1974, the house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade of the gable-and-wing variant. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of stucco and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the partial-width entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a pair of slender posts. The recessed entry contains a simple, six-panel, wood door flanked by a multi-light, tripartite wood window. The front (east) elevation features wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs, each decorated with window shutters. The front elevation also features a prominent shed roof dormer, with a pair of woodframed, multi-light windows. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of six-over-six wood-framed, double-hung sash windows, also decorated with window shutters. A prominent interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the west elevation. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. Alterations to the property include a rear addition and other alterations made at the time of or subsequent to relocation. However, these alterations are not visible from the primary front elevation. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and a mature tree and features a concrete walkway leading to the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

*B10. Significance (continued):

Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the J.F.Berger House is now located has been known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time, the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.

The J.F. Berger House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Gable-andWing variant of the Minimal Traditional style. The house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade of the variant as well as the minimalist approach to architectural embellishment associated with the style.The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of West Floral Park and is representative example of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Characterdefining features of the J.F. Berger House include, but may not be limited to: cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade; wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs; decorative window shutters; combination stucco and wood exterior; and recessed entry accessed from an open, partial-width porch. *B12.

set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.

The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 69 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, the J.F. Berger House is a two-story single-family residence constructed in the gable-and-wing variant of the Minimal Traditional architectural style. Built in 1953 and moved to this location in 1974, the house displays the characteristic cross-gabled massing and L-shaped façade of the gable-and-wing variant. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination of stucco and wood lap siding. A narrow frieze board accents portions of the eave line. The focal point of the design is the partial-width entry porch, whose canopy roof is supported by a pair of slender posts. The recessed entry contains a simple, six-panel, wood door flanked by a multi-light, tripartite wood window. The front (east) elevation features wood-framed, multi-light windows arranged singly and in pairs, each decorated with window shutters. The front elevation also features a prominent shed roof dormer, with a pair of woodframed, multi-light windows. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of six-over-six wood-framed, double-hung sash windows, also decorated with window shutters. A prominent interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the west elevation. A one-story, side-gabled, detached garage clad in stucco is located in the rear of the property. Alterations to the property include a rear addition and other alterations made at the time of or subsequent to relocation. However, these alterations are not visible from the primary front elevation. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and a mature tree and features a concrete walkway leading to the front entry. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

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 onestory in height, often with a front-gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor Revival styles the one-story 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.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Arthur A. Beard House is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Simplicity characteristic of the Minimal Traditional and symmetry associated with the Colonial Revival characterize this single-family residence. It features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with minimal overhang. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in wood clapboard siding.

Its Colonial Revival character is apparent in the central entry with stylized pediment, broad wood siding, and decorative shutters. The front (east) elevation features two-over-two double-hung, wood-framed windows, a bay window projection, and bellcast entry canopy. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building’s fenestration includes a series of single, double-hung windows. A secondary side entry is located along the north elevation, which consists of a simple, single panel half door. A tall, prominent, exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation.

Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.

The Arthur A. Beard House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). “Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.

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 83 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Arthur A. Beard House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the Santa Ana development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. The house was built in 1939 and was valued at approximately $4,000, according to the original building permit. The property was sold in 1940 to Arthur A. Beard who was a graduate of the University of Iowa. He was also a resident engineer for the Highway Commission of Wyoming, resident engineer for the Highway Commission of California, acting Flood Control Engineer, and Orange County Highway Superintendent. Arthur A.

Beard resided on the property until the mid-1960s. Little information is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-2000s.

The house is a one-story single-family residence constructed in the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style. Simplicity characteristic of the Minimal Traditional and symmetry associated with the Colonial Revival characterize this singlefamily residence. It features a moderately-pitched, side-gabled roof with minimal overhang. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in wood clapboard siding. Its Colonial Revival character is apparent in the central entry with stylized pediment, broad wood siding, and decorative shutters. The front (east) elevation features two-over-two double-hung, wood-framed windows, a bay window projection, and bellcast entry canopy. Along the north, south, and west elevations, the building’s fenestration includes a series of single, double-hung windows.

A secondary side entry is located along the north elevation, which consists of a simple, single panel half door. A tall, prominent, exterior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline along the south elevation. A one-story, gable-roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property which is also clad in wood clapboard siding. The house appears intact and is in good condition. Character-defining features of the Arthur A. Beard House include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side-gabled roof with modest overhang; threebay, nearly symmetrical façade; multi-paned, double-hung windows including cant window bay; central main entry with stylized pediment; decorative shutters; and brick chimney.

The Arthur A. Beard House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of the Colonial Revival variant of the Minimal Traditional style, constructed just prior to World War II by the development team of H. C. Head and Roy Russell. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional style 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.
