Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: circa 1880-1946 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) Built in 1921, the Liggett-Wallace House is significant as a representative example of a late Craftsman bungalow. It exhibits the simplification of the earlier Craftsman style that typified the early 1920s, when a few signature elements, such as lowpitched gables with exposed beams and rafters, clapboard siding, and a front porch, were enough to identify the style. The house is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, Delbert and Ruby Liggett were the first occupants of the house in 1921. Mr. Liggett worked for the Bemis Lumber Company. In 1923, Albert and Marion Wallace began a twenty-year residency. Albert Wallace was an engineer with the Santa Fe Railroad (Marsh, 1998).

*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. In 1877, Spurgeon, along with James McFadden and James Fruit, formed the Western Development Company with the intention of bringing the Southern Pacific Railroad from its then terminus in Anaheim into Santa Ana. Thinking to capitalize on commercial growth around the railroad, the partners purchased 160 acres adjacent to the eastern city boundary at French Street. Although they were successful in luring the Southern Pacific to a new depot on Fruit Street in Santa Ana in 1878, the expected commercial development of “Santa Ana East” never materialized. Early growth and development of the town continued to be centered further west around Fourth and Main Streets, with the result that the legacy of Santa Ana East is an angled street plan whose intersection with the original city is marked by a small, triangular parcel, developed in the 1890s as Flatiron Park, now known as French Park. Santa Ana continued to grow, stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.

Beginning in the 1880s and continuing well into the twentieth century, the area around the park began to be developed with many of the finest homes in Santa Ana. Examples of Victorian era, turn of the century, and Craftsman homes were built along the tree-lined streets. By the 1920s, most streets in the neighborhood were fully developed, although a few revival styled single family homes and duplexes were built during the 1920s, and a handful of apartments constructed in the 1930s. From the nineteenth century onwards, residents were a “Who’s Who” of early Santa Ana, and included bankers, attorneys, doctors, businessmen, ranchers, teachers and others active in the civic and social life of the city.

Once known as the “Nob Hill” of Santa Ana, French Park declined in the 1940s and 1950s as some homes were converted into rooming houses and others were allowed to deteriorate. In the 1960s and 1970s some houses were demolished and the properties redeveloped with multi-family housing. However, a grass roots preservation effort begun in the late 1970s led to the establishment of a local historic district in 1984 and the listing of the neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

The Liggett-Wallace House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman residence from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of French Park through its style and type, is a “good example” of a Craftsman bungalow of its period, and “has not been substantially altered.” Characteristic Craftsman features include the front-gabled roof, full-width, recessed front porch, exposed beams and rafters, window configuration, and window and door surrounds. Character-defining exterior features of the Liggett-Wallace House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: roof configuration; gable vent; massing; original windows; window surrounds; recessed front porch; and architectural details such as exposed rafters and beam ends.

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 21 – 155 3/21/2023

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.

Topic: HPPA No. 2022-21– Liggett-Wallace 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 Andrew Chu for the property located at 501 E. Washington Avenue, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Andrew Chu is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 501 E. Washington Avenue that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.

DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Liggett-Wallace House, consists of an existing onestory Craftsman bungalow style residence that is approximately 1,440 square feet in size on a 6,200-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Liggett-Wallace House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2002 and categorized as “Contributive.” In addition, the Liggett-Wallace House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. It is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and is located within the boundaries of the locally designated historic district.

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 Historic Resources Commission c – 1 11/3/2022

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 Liggett-Wallace House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Liggett-Wallace House on the Register and within the “Contributive” category as a representative example of the distinguishing characteristics of a Craftsman bungalow from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house was categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the French Park neighborhood through its style and type.

Characteristic Craftsman features include the front-gabled roof, full-width, recessed front porch, exposed beams and rafters, window configuration, and window and door surrounds. Character-defining exterior features of the Liggett-Wallace House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: roof configuration; gable vent; massing; original windows; window surrounds; recessed front porch; and architectural details such as exposed rafters and beam-ends.

Since its listing on the Register in 2002, the property had undergone repairs to the front porch and front steps (2011). In April 2022, the property underwent an interior remodel, which included removing walls between kitchen/dining/living room areas to create an open floor plan. In addition, seventeen (17) aluminum windows (non-period correct) were removed and replaced with new single-hung windows, and sliding wood windows along the rear. The existing double-hung windows along the front elevation were not altered or be replaced, but were instead repaired and maintained.

All existing wood windows that are non-period correct (e.g., fixed, sliding, casement, etc.) will be required to be replaced with period correct wood windows (e.g., single-hung) as part of the rehabilitation and restoration requirements during the duration of the Mills Act Agreement for this property. In addition, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation. Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and Historic Resources Commission c – 2 11/3/2022

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. 2022-105 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 $653.85 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The Liggett-Wallace House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is also listed in the California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the distinguishing characteristics of a Craftsman bungalow from the early 1920s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the French Park neighborhood through its style and type, is a “good example” of a Craftsman bungalow from the 1920s, and “has not been substantially altered” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Substantially rehabilitated in 1986, this one-story Craftsman bungalow displays a symmetrical, front-gabled façade dominated by a full-width recessed porch. The porch, including the stick balustrade, handrail, and latticework foundation skirting, have been rebuilt. At the same time, the exterior narrow clapboard sheathing was replaced, aluminum sliding windows installed on the east elevation, and the original garage demolished. Characteristics of the roof treatment include a simply molded raking cornice, deep eaves covering exposed rafters, and beam-ends that emerge near the end-walls. A pair of rectangular, crosshatch vents with typical Craftsman surrounds are centered below the gable peak. Paired six-over-one, wood-framed, double-hung sash windows with Craftsman surrounds flank the centered main entrance. Bisecting a front yard of grass and shrubbery, a concrete path bordered by hedges leads to the entry. An exterior red brick chimney rises from the center of the east elevation. Building permits document a 1929 addition to the house, most likely at the rear. Since the 1986 alterations, the house has been well maintained and retains the character of its original appearance. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2.

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.

Assessor’s Parcel Number 001-185-09 *P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, the Honer House is a single-story, single-family residence designed by local architect, Donald A.

Honer, in the Contemporary Ranch Style. The building sits on a modestly sized parcel. The asymmetrical plan has four primary wings extending each cardinal direction with an attached garage at the north wing. A medium-pitched, complex hip roof clad with replacement composition shingles caps the building. The roof exhibits wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia throughout all four primary wings. The prominent west wing that extends towards North Freeman Street has primary elevations facing west, north, and south and an interior brick chimney that spans the roof ridge line. The exterior of the house is clad primarily in vertical wood and board and batten siding. A later addition to the north wing is reflected by its lack of exposed rafters under eaves and differentiated siding. The main entrance, which is located on the north façade of the west wing facing the driveway, consists of a single, slightly recessed door flanked by two obscured glass side lights. It is raised above a shallow brick-clad concrete step. Two sets of paired, narrow, wood-framed casement windows, each composed of single-light over wood spandrel panel, are immediately west of the entry. The west, street-facing façade contains a single, centered, large window (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.)

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1957 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 Honer House is architecturally significant as an outstanding and intact example of the Contemporary Ranch style, heavily influenced by the midcentury modern architecture popular at the time of its construction. This house was built in 1957 and valued at $17,000 according to the original building permit. The first owner, and architect credited on the building permit for the design, was Donald A. Honer, son of the prominent Santa Ana developer and contractor of the house, Allison Honer (Santa Ana Register, 12 August 1936, page 26). Donald Honer resided in the home until at least 1979; ownership may have been held by the Allison Honer Company, as specified on a 1967 building permit. Research did not uncover additional information about Mr. D. A. Honer, although it may be speculated that the son might have provided architectural services for the father's business . Although a room was added to the building in 1967, the addition was added to the rear and was designed to be differentiated yet compatible with overhanging eaves and wood board and batten siding. The Honer House is also found architecturally notable for its early utilization of Direct Gain passive solar design. Its use of floor to ceiling casement windows and double French doors are grouped to allow air and light to flow through the home and enable passive solar cooling. This property may have been one of the first homes in Santa Ana to utilize Direct Gain; however, more research is required to confirm.

Remaining fenestration throughout the building includes fixed and casement wood-frame windows of various size, jalousie windows, and tall casement windows made of single-light over wood panel. Other architectural elements include custom minimalist lighting on the wall of the west wing near the main entrance, the wood courtyard fence with vertical wood pickets alternating with empty spaces, and intermittent brick paving throughout the driveway and within the interior courtyard. The property is landscaped with shrubs and plants surrounding a decorative rock pathway that leads to the south side courtyard. A tree is centered within the courtyard. The property retains substantial integrity, the 1967 addition of a bedroom and storage notwithstanding. *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.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Honer House is 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 Honer House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Contemporary Ranch style residence and for its use of passive solar design. The recommended categorization is “Landmark” as a demonstrative example of Contemporary Ranch style and its unique architectural significance in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). It features a rambling plan, horizontal massing, deep eaves, rustic materials, and a fenestration plan that facilates an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The wall length grouped casement windows and double French doors on the south elevation also contribute to the Direct Gain design of passive solar cooling, allowing for the passing through of more natural light. Character-defining features of the Honer House include, but may not be limited to: medium-pitched, complex hipped roof; interior brick chimney at center of front-facing wing; wide-overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and a continuous wood fascia; board and batten and vertical wood siding; primary entrance composed of a slab door flanked by obscured glass sidelighte; grouped casement and fixed windows over wooden spandrel panels; double French doors; jalousie windows; original exterior lighting on the west wing; and a brick paved front courtyard enclosed by a vertical wood fence. *B12.

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-21, HRC 2022-15, HPPA No. 2022-22 – Honer House

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-21 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-15 (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 Scott and Lisa Michaelis, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Scott and Lisa Michaelis are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 2123 North Freeman 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 North Freeman Street in the West Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 2,271-square-foot, Contemporary Ranch style residence and attached garage on an 8,898-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 11/3/2022

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

The Honer House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a Contemporary Ranch style home, in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1957 by Donald A. Honer for approximately $27,000. Mr. Honer owned and occupied the house from 1957 to at least 1979 (when public records end). Research did not uncover additional information about Mr. Honer. The Honer House is also found architecturally significant for its associations with the Direct Gain passive solar design. Its use of floor to ceiling casement windows and double French doors are grouped to allow air and light to flow through the home and enable passive solar cooling. This property may have been one of the first homes in Santa Ana to utilize Direct Gain, however more research is required to confirm.

The Honer House is a single-story, single-family residence designed in the Contemporary Ranch Style. The building sits on a modestly sized parcel. The asymmetrical plan has four primary wings spanning each cardinal direction with an attached garage at the north wing. The prominent west wing that extends towards North Freeman Street has primary elevations facing west, north, and south. The building has a mid-pitch, cross-gable hipped roof with replacement composition shingles and an interior brick chimney at the center of the front-facing west wing. The roof exhibits wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters throughout all four primary wings. The exterior of the house is clad primarily in vertical wood siding. The main entrance, which is located on the north façade of the west wing, consists of a single, slightly recessed door flanked by two obscured glass side lites, which is raised above a shallow brick-clad concrete step. Two sets of paired, narrow, woodframe casement windows, each composed of single-lite over wood panel, are immediately west of the entry. The south elevation contains a series of windows which extend to nearly the height of the wall, consisting of casements and double French doors.

Remaining fenestration throughout the building includes fixed and casement wood-frame windows of various size, jalousie windows, and tall casement windows made of singlelite over wood panel. Other architectural elements include custom minimalist lighting on the wall of the west wing near the main entrance, a wood courtyard fence with red paneling, and intermittent brick paving throughout the driveway and within the interior courtyard. The property is landscaped with shrubs and plants surrounding a decorative rock pathway that leads to the south side courtyard. A tree is centered within the side yard courtyard. A later addition to the north wing is reflected by its lack of exposed rafters under eaves and board and batten vertical wood siding.

the Honer House include, but may not be limited to: Mid-pitched, cross gable hipped roof; interior brick chimney at center of front-facing wing; wide-overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails; vertical wood siding; primary entrance composed of a slab door flanked by sidelites; grouped casement windows, double French doors, fixed windows, and jalousie windows; original exterior lighting on the west wing; and a vertical wood fence enclosing side yard.

The Honer House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Contemporary Ranch style residential building and for its use of passive solar design. The house displays characteristics of the Contemporary Ranch style through its use of single-story massing; wide overhanging eaves; exposed rafter tails; vertical wood siding; recessed entry; tall, grouped casement windows; jalousie windows; attached garage; side-yard fence enclosing side patio; and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. The recommended categorization is “Landmark” as a demonstrative example of Contemporary Ranch style and its unique architectural significance in Santa Ana. This category is reserved for structures exemplifying high architectural significance with potential eligibility to be placed on the National or State historic registers, and/or possesses unique architectural significance within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of “Landmark” status due to the building’s high craftsmanship and use of wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters; grouped, wood-frame casement windows and jalousie windows, among other original features. The wall-length grouped casement windows and double French doors on the south elevation contribute to the Direct Gain design of passive solar cooling, allowing for the passing through of more natural light. The building’s use of tall and numerous windows also contributes to the indoor-outdoor living ideology emphasized by Contemporary Ranch and Mid-Century Modern design.

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 Historic Resources Commission 1 – 3 11/3/2022

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Hollywood Regency
The Hollywood Regency style originated from Great Britian’s early nineteenth century residential architecture, specifically from the reign of George IV, between 1811-1820. Britian’s original Regency style utilized simple details blended with broad forms of Neoclassism. The Hollywood Regency style, popularized in Southern California and occassionally known as Regnecy Moderne, reflects a simplified reference to the Art Deco and Moderne styles. While its uncomplicated massing and subduded ornamentation are a nod to Modernism, it also references Neoclassicsm and incorporates more historic references than either the Art Deco or Moderne. The style reflects the refined decadence that was seen in Hollywood films of the period. It was fashionable with well-to-do clientele who could afford custom-built single-family residences and commercial buildings. The Hollywood Regency style, while never as popular as other period styles, remained relevant from the early 1930s to 1970. However, following World War II, Modern elements outweighed those of Neoclassicsm. Thus, the style can be understood as as the pre-war Hollywood Regency (1931 – 1945) and post-war Late Hollywood Regency (1946- 1970).

Character-defining features of the Hollywood Regency style (1931-1945) include Mansard, hipped, or gabled roofs; and use of multiple cladding materials such as stucco with wood clapboard or brick veneer. Window treatments are typically casements made of either steel-frame or wood-sash. The Hollywood Regency style features symmetrical Neoclassical designs and ornamentation, including porches of double height, often made of iron. These porches typically feature narrow columns, fluted pilasters, pediments, and balconettes. Overall, the use of ornamentation is subdued and minimal.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The Mabee House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a rare example of a Depression era Hollywood Regency style home. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Hollywood Regency style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Mabee House is a two-story single-family residence on a large parcel, constructed in the Hollywood Regency style (Figure 1). The main residence has an L-shaped footprint with a cross-gable roof. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a pavilion-like two-story massing with emphasis on the taller lower story. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco throughout the lower story and horizontal wood siding along the shorter upper story. The primary (west) façade features three wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads above three windows at the second story: a single stained glass window centered between two multi-lite wood-frame casement windows with wood shutters (Figures 2 and 3). The ground floor of the primary façade contains an entry porch centered between a single multi-lite woodframe casement window to the north and a multi-lite wood-frame bow window to the south (Figure 4). The entry porch is characterized by wrought iron supports rising to a second story balconette with a wrought iron railing, and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars (Figure 5). The main entrance door located beneath the porch roof is a simple paneled door lacking lites. An original Art-Deco style address stating “1915” and mailslot resides adjacent to the main entrance (Figure 6). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.)

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1936 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 Mabee House is architecturally significant as a simple and rare example of the Hollywood Regency style in Santa Ana.

According to City building records, it was built in 1936 for approximately $14,000. Dr. Melbourne Mabee, who worked at the Santa Ana Clinic, was the property's first owner and lived in the home from 1936 to 1937. Dr. Mabee, a well-established physician and surgeon who began his practice shortly after World War I, moved from Chicago to Santa Ana in 1932. His local practice had ties with Dr. Frank H. Paterson of the Santa Ana Clinic. Additionally, Dr. Mabee acted as president of the Santa Ana Kiwanis club for one year. Tragically, on March 23, 1937, Dr. Mabee suffered a heart attack at age 60 in his newly built home (Santa Ana Register, March 24, 1937).

*P3a. Description (continued):

Multi-lite wood-frame casement windows of various sizes appear on the side (north and south) and rear (east) facades. The rear façade also incorporates a single oval window at the second story and two wood-frame single-hung windows at the first story. Second story siding also varies at the rear façade with vertical siding occurring along a portion of the building’s rear volume (Figure 7).

A stylized Classical frieze with applied triglyphs wraps around the entire building, dividing the lower and upper stories (Figure 8). A rear, brick chimney rises above the roofline, which is visible from the property’s rear. A detached garage, pool, and small shed are located east of the rear (east) elevation of the residence (Figures 9). The front (west) side of the property is landscaped with a lawn and a mix of low shrubs and medium-to-tall trees and is encircledby a low wood fence and manicured shrubs. A wrought-iron gate encloses the long driveway leading towards the detached garage. A brick wall of moderate-height divides the rear yard from the detached garage as well as the front and rear yards at the south side of the property. While much of the property’s unique architectural features remain intact, several if not all of the windows appear to be replacement wood windows. The stained glass window above the entry has been replaced at an unknown date. Lastly, it is plausible that a rear addition was added at some point, where the vertical wood siding and oval window differ from the rest of the home, *B10. Significance (continued):

City directories reveal that the property was then sold at some point between 1937 and 1938 to Bob Fernandez, who owned the property until circa 1956. The following owner, Walter T Flaherty, resided in the home from circa 1960 to 1970. In 1979, Linda White is listed as an occupant of the subject property. City directories from 1985 to 1990, list Doris E White as the occupant. By 2000, Jack White is listed as the property owner. From circa 2006 to 2008, Michael Urtel is listed as an occupant of the subject property. City directories end in 2008.

The Mabee 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, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.

The Mabee House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a rare example of a Depression era Hollywood Regency style home. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $14,000 to build, a considerable investment for the year of its construction, 1936. The Hollywood Regency style is extremely rare in Santa Ana. Referencing the period when George IV was Prince Regent in England, this briefly fashionable style was an eclectic expression of the Georgian Colonial Revival in combination with the simplicity of the Moderne style. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Hollywood Regency style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Hollywood Regency style exhibited by the house include its the pavilion-like twostory massing with emphasis on the taller lower story; horizontal panel siding throughout the upper story and smooth stucco finish on the taller lower story; wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads; multi-lite wood-frame bow window featuring several gold star details above; wood-frame multi-lite casement windows and window shutters; original mailslot and address; wrought iron railings, porch supports and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars; stylized Classical elements such as the frieze between stories accented by applied triglyphs; built-in planter at primary façade; and brick chimney.

Topic: HRCA No. 2022-23, HRC 2022-16, HPPA No. 2022-23 – Mabee House

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2022-23 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2022-16 (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 Eric Neigher and Jennifer Nguyen, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Eric Neigher and Jennifer Nguyen are requesting approval to designate an existing residence located at 1915 North Flower 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 North Flower Street in the Floral Park neighborhood. The site contains a 3,204-square-foot, Hollywood Regency style residence and detached garage on an 11,480-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 Historic Resources Commission 45 1/19/2023

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

The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 87 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Mabee House is architecturally significant as a representative example of a Hollywood Regency style home, in Santa Ana. According to City building records, it was built in 1936 for approximately $14,000. Dr. Melbourne Mabee, who worked at the Santa Ana Clinic, was the property's first owner and lived in the home from 1936 to 1937. Dr.

Mabee, a well-established physician and surgeon who began his practice shortly after World War I, moved from Chicago to Santa Ana in 1932. Additionally, Dr. Mabee acted as president of the Santa Ana Kiwanis club for one year. Tragically, on March 23, 1937, Dr. Mabee suffered a heart attack at age 60 in his newly built home (Santa Ana Register, March 24, 1937). City directories reveal that the property was then sold at some point between 1937 and 1938 to Bob Fernandez, who owned the property until circa 1956. The following owner, Walter T. Flaherty, resided in the home from circa 1960 to 1970. In 1979, Linda White is listed as an occupant of the subject property. City directories from 1985 to 1990, show that Doris E. White occupied the property. In 2000, Jack White is stated as the owned. From circa 2006 to 2008, Michael Urtel occupied the subject property. City directories end in 2008.

The Mabee House is a two-story single-family residence on a large parcel, constructed in the Hollywood Regency style. The main residence has an L-shaped footprint with a crossgable roof. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a pavilion-like two-story massing with emphasis on the taller lower story. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco throughout the lower story and horizontal wood siding along the shorter upper story. The primary (west) façade features three wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads above three windows at the second story: a single stained glass window centered between two multi-lite wood-frame casement windows with wood shutters. The ground floor of the primary façade contains an entry porch centered between a single multi-lite wood-frame casement window to the north and a multi-lite wood-frame bow window to the south. The entry porch is characterized by wrought iron supports rising to a second story balconette with a wrought iron railing, and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars. The main entrance door located beneath the porch roof is a simple paneled door lacking lites. An original Art-Deco style address stating “1915” and mailslot resides adjacent to the main entrance. Multi-lite wood-frame casement windows of various sizes appear on the sides (north and south) and rear (east)

facades. The rear façade also incorporates a single oval window at the second story and two wood-frame single-hung windows at the first story. Second story siding also varies at the rear façade with vertical siding occurring along a portion of the building’s rear volume.

A stylized Classical frieze with applied triglyphs wraps around the entire building, dividing the lower and upper stories. A rear, brick chimney rises above the roofline, which is visible from the property’s rear.

A detached garage, pool, and small shed are located east of the rear (east) elevation of the residence. The front (west) side of the property is landscaped with a lawn and a mix of low shrubs and medium-to-tall trees and is encircled by a low wood fence and manicured shrubs. A wrought-iron gate encloses the long driveway leading towards the detached garage. A brick wall of moderate-height divides the rear yard from the detached garage as well as the front and rear yards at the south side of the property.

Character-defining features of the Hollywood Regency style exhibited by the house include the pavilion-like two-story massing with emphasis on the taller lower story; horizontal panel siding throughout the upper story and smooth stucco finish on the taller lower story; wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads; multi-lite woodframe bow window featuring several gold star details above; wood-frame multi-lite casement windows and window shutters; original mailslot and address; wrought iron railings, porch supports and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars; stylized Classical elements such as the frieze between stories accented by applied triglyphs; builtin planter at primary façade; and brick chimney. While much of the property’s unique architectural features remain intact, several if not all of the windows appear to be replacement wood windows. The stained glass window above the entry has been replaced at an unknown date. Lastly, it is plausible that a rear addition was added at some point, where the vertical wood siding and oval window differ from the rest of the home.

However, these alterations appear to be in keeping with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Rehabilitation guidelines. Specifically, the historic character of the property appears to be retained and preserved and the new work is differentiated from the old and is generally compatible.

The Mabee House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion as a rare example of a Depression era Hollywood Regency style home.

Located in Floral Park, the house cost $14,000 to build, a considerable investment for the year of its construction, 1936. The Hollywood Regency style is extremely rare in Santa Ana. Referencing the period when George IV was Prince Regent in England, this briefly fashionable style was an eclectic expression of the Georgian Colonial Revival in combination with the simplicity of the Moderne style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture.

Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 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.

Over the initial ten years of the Mills Act contract for this property, the owner desires to complete the following work projects: landscaping improvements, install wrought iron gate at driveway, and casement window restoration where damage has occurred. Staff will work with the owner to ensure these items are completed in a sensitive manner in regards to the historic property and its character defining features.

As part of the mills act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. 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.

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.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,564.68 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Hollywood Regency
The Hollywood Regency style originated from Great Britian’s early nineteenth century residential architecture, specifically from the reign of George IV, between 1811-1820. Britian’s original Regency style utilized simple details blended with broad forms of Neoclassism. The Hollywood Regency style, popularized in Southern California and occassionally known as Regnecy Moderne, reflects a simplified reference to the Art Deco and Moderne styles. While its uncomplicated massing and subduded ornamentation are a nod to Modernism, it also references Neoclassicsm and incorporates more historic references than either the Art Deco or Moderne. The style reflects the refined decadence that was seen in Hollywood films of the period. It was fashionable with well-to-do clientele who could afford custom-built single-family residences and commercial buildings. The Hollywood Regency style, while never as popular as other period styles, remained relevant from the early 1930s to 1970. However, following World War II, Modern elements outweighed those of Neoclassicsm. Thus, the style can be understood as as the pre-war Hollywood Regency (1931 – 1945) and post-war Late Hollywood Regency (1946- 1970).

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The Mabee House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a rare example of a Depression era Hollywood Regency style home. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in Floral Park, the Mabee House is a two-story single-family residence on a large parcel, constructed in the Hollywood Regency style (Figure 1). The main residence has an L-shaped footprint with a cross-gable roof. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a pavilion-like two-story massing with emphasis on the taller lower story. The exterior of the house is clad in a combination of smooth stucco throughout the lower story and horizontal wood siding along the shorter upper story. The primary (west) façade features three wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads above three windows at the second story: a single stained glass window centered between two multi-lite wood-frame casement windows with wood shutters (Figures 2 and 3). The ground floor of the primary façade contains an entry porch centered between a single multi-lite woodframe casement window to the north and a multi-lite wood-frame bow window to the south (Figure 4). The entry porch is characterized by wrought iron supports rising to a second story balconette with a wrought iron railing, and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars (Figure 5). The main entrance door located beneath the porch roof is a simple paneled door lacking lites. An original Art-Deco style address stating “1915” and mailslot resides adjacent to the main entrance (Figure 6). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.)

Multi-lite wood-frame casement windows of various sizes appear on the side (north and south) and rear (east) facades. The rear façade also incorporates a single oval window at the second story and two wood-frame single-hung windows at the first story. Second story siding also varies at the rear façade with vertical siding occurring along a portion of the building’s rear volume (Figure 7).

In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral Park.

The Mabee House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a rare example of a Depression era Hollywood Regency style home. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $14,000 to build, a considerable investment for the year of its construction, 1936. The Hollywood Regency style is extremely rare in Santa Ana. Referencing the period when George IV was Prince Regent in England, this briefly fashionable style was an eclectic expression of the Georgian Colonial Revival in combination with the simplicity of the Moderne style. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of the Floral Park neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture.(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Hollywood Regency style exhibited by the house include its the pavilion-like two-story massing with emphasis on the taller lower story; horizontal panel siding throughout the upper story and smooth stucco finish on the taller lower story; wall dormers with characteristic segmentally arched heads; multi-lite wood-frame bow window featuring several gold star details above; wood-frame multi-lite casement windows and window shutters; original mailslot and address; wrought iron railings, porch supports and minimal decorative trim featuring two gold stars; stylized Classical elements such as the frieze between stories accented by applied triglyphs; built-in planter at primary façade; and brick chimney.

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.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The Grover Collins House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as highly intact example of a Ranch style tract house in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Ranch style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located in West Floral Park, the Grover Collins House is a one-story, single-family Ranch Style residence with detached garage (Figure 1). Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, complex hipped roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters (Figure 2). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, brick, and distinctive board and batten siding (Figure 3). The primary (south) façade contains five architectural bays, with two window bays on either side of the central main entrance bay, which is located within the front porch (Figure 4). The four window bays along the primary façade contain steel-frame, multi-lite casement windows. The westernmost window is a corner window that projects on brackets outward from the façade and wraps around the building’s southwest corner (Figure 5). Two identical windows are situated east of the main entrance, with a smaller window to the west of the main entrance (Figure 6). Wooden shutters with scalloped detailing outfit the three windows along the primary façade. The front porch is characterized by a low brick wall that wraps around the west half of the primary façade, and single wood post that supports the partial width front porch. The entry features an X-paneled and partially glazed front door beneath a wood lap-clad porch ceiling.

Brick siding extends east of the entry porch, below the identical steel-frame windows. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.)
