Topic: HRCA No. 2023-29, HRC No. 2024-03, HPPA No. 2024-05 – R.S. McGuire House (2369 North Flower Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-29 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2024-03 (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 Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead are requesting approval to designate an existing Art Moderne style residence located at 2369 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. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an Art Moderne Style house. It is worthy of “Key” categorization because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne style, including its smooth stucco wall surface, asymmetrical façade, and windows located on building corners, among other features.

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 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 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 86 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.
The R.S. McGuire House is architecturally significant as an intact example of an Art Moderne style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated August 22, 1938, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner-contractor Allison Honer for $5,500, who appears to have been affiliated with the property only during the time of the initial building permit. The original architect is unknown. City directories note that R.S. McGuire owned the property for at least 23 years, from 1939-1962. R.S. (Mac) McGuire worked for heating equipment company O'Keefe and Merritt and later was employed at Coffmans furniture-appliance store at 714 West 17th Street in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Register, March 7, 1946; Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1950). From circa 1965-1979, Douglas Geraldine occupied the building. In 1980, J Darlingfriz and Doug Friz are noted as building occupants. The 1985 Criss-Cross directories do not list the property owner. From circa 1986 to 2021, David Aeppli owned the subject property. City directories were not available from 1963-1964, 1966-1978, and 1984; directories from 1981-1983 and 1985 do not list the property owner or occupant. The present owners, Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead, purchased the property in 2021.
The R.S. McGuire House is a one story, single-family, Art Moderne style residence and detached garage located on a small parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood. The asymmetrical residence exhibits a T-shaped plan with two primary facades facing west and south respectively. Its low-pitch hipped and gabled roof is clad in asphalt shingles with minimal overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. A rear addition that was added to the east façade in 1991 has curved walls and is capped with a curved roofline in asphalt shingles to match existing. The exterior of the house is clad in smooth stucco with minimal texture throughout. The primary (west) façade features a stucco-clad chimney with the upper portion clad in exposed brick. The chimney is flanked by two steel-frame, multi- pane, combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around both the north and south building corners. The primary façades feature two building projections that are HRCA No. 2023-29, HRC No. 2024-03, HPPA No. 2024-05 – R.S. McGuire House (2369 North Flower Street)

stepped back from the front of the building. Both projections contain similar steel-frame windows that wrap around the corners. The main entrance, located on the primary (south) façade, is accessible by two curved concrete steps. The entrance features a single, solid door below a curved roof awning.
Additional fenestration on the south (primary) façade includes a single two-over-two double-hung wood window. The side (north) façade contains one-over-one double-hung wood windows. The rear (east) façade has single and double partially glazed pedestrian doors with horizontal muntins dividing the doors into five lights. Additional fenestration at the rear façade includes a single double-hung wood window, as well as a glass block window with two steel-frame, multi-light fixed-and-casement windows located on the curved building projection (east addition).
The detached garage, located southeast of the primary residence, contains a side-gabled roof clad in asphalt shingles to match the residence. The paneled garage door at its primary (west) façade faces a long, paved driveway leading to North Flower Street. A single, solid pedestrian door is situated at the rear (east) façade.
Additional architectural features include a vent at the gable end of the primary (south) façade, pronounced window sill trim throughout, smooth or curved building corners, and an Art Modern style metal door knocker on the main entrance door. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, small shrubs, and medium-sized trees.
Character-defining features of the R.S. McGuire House include, but may not be limited to: T-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façades at the west and south; low-pitch hipped and gabled roof; minimal roof overhang and exposed rafter tails; smooth stucco siding with minimal texture throughout; stucco-clad chimney with exposed brick near the top; steel-frame multi-pane combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around building corners; building projections that are stepped back from the front (west) portion of the building; main entrance accessible by two curved concrete steps with a single, solid door and Art Moderne style metal door knocker that is situated below a curved roof awning; double-hung wood windows; pronounced window sill trim throughout; vent at the gable end; smooth or curved building corners; detached garage; and front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs. The R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne style.
Mills Act Agreement
Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act HRCA No. 2023-29, HRC No. 2024-03, HPPA No. 2024-05 – R.S. McGuire House (2369 North Flower Street)
July 15, 2024

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 •A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
•Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures •Discouraging 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 subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached Work Plan.
Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: repair trim as needed. Staff also proposes the following improvements: remove non-compatible gutters; replace rear yard side door with period-appropriate door; inspect and repair all original wood and steel- frame windows, window panes, and window trim as needed; and replace main entrance doorknob and exterior light with period-appropriate doorknob and light. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character- defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
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. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to enable the Mills Act.

CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Art Moderne
The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamline Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the Art Deco style, the Streamline Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World War II in a simplified version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Deco designs, the Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne substyles emphasized the horizontal, through bands of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal lines, railings, flat canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the roofline. Other characteristics include smooth wall surfaces, usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block or metal multi-light casement windows; rounded corners, porthole windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a signature of the style. In common with the Streamline Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in emphasis, but tended to be more clean-lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined counterparts. Art Moderne designs can be recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal casement windows that often meet at the corners of the building.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne style. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The R.S. McGuire House is a one story, single-family, Art Moderne style residence and detached garage located on a small parcel in the Floral Park neighborhood (Figure 1). The asymmetrical residence exhibits a T-shaped plan with two primary facades facing west and south respectively. Its low-pitch hipped and gabled roof is clad in asphalt shingles with minimal overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. A rear addition that was added to the east façade in 1991 has curved walls and is capped with a curved roofline in asphalt shingles to match existing. The exterior of the house is clad in smooth stucco with minimal texture throughout. The primary (west) façade features a stucco-clad chimney with the upper portion clad in exposed brick. The chimney is flanked by two steel-frame, multi-pane, combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around both the north and south building corners (Figure 2). The primary façades feature two building projections that are stepped back from the front of the building. Both projections contain similar steel-frame windows that wrap around the corners (Figure 3). The main entrance, located on the primary (south) façade, is accessible by two curved concrete steps.
The entrance features a single, solid door below a curved roof awning (Figure 4).

Significance: Theme Residential ArchitectureArea Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1938 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 R.S. McGuire House is architecturally significant as an intact example of an Art Moderne style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated August 22, 1938, and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage for owner- contractor Allison Honer for $5,500, who appears to have been affiliated with the property only during the time of the intial building permit. The original architect is unknown. City directories note that R.S. McGuire owned the property for at least 23 years, from 1939-1962. R.S. (Mac) McGuire worked for heating equipment company O'Keefe and Merritt and later was employed at Coffmans furniture-appliance store at 714 West 17 th Street in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Register, March 7, 1946; Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1950). From circa 1965-1979, Douglas Geraldine occupied the building. In 1980, J Darlingfriz and Doug Friz are noted as building occupants. The 1985 Criss-Cross directories do not list the property owner. From circa 1986 to 2021, David Aeppli owned the subject property. City directories were not available from 1963-1964, 1966-1978, and 1984; directories from 1981-1983 and 1985 do not list the property owner or occupant. The present owners, Paul Gulino and Julie Bidmead, purchased the property in 2021.

*P3a. Description (continued):
Additional fenestration on the south (primary) façade includes a single two-over-two double-hung wood window. The side (north) façade contains one-over-one double-hung wood windows. The rear (east) façade has single and double partially glazed pedestrian doors with horizontal muntins dividing the doors into five lights. Additional fenestration at the rear façade includes a single double-hung wood window, as well as a glass block window with two steel-frame, multi-light fixed-and- casement windows located on the curved building projection (east addition) (Figures 5 and 6).
The detached garage, located southeast of the primary residence, contains a side-gabled roof clad in asphalt shingles to match the residence (Figure 7). The paneled garage door at its primary (west) façade faces a long, paved driveway leading to North Flower Street. A single, solid pedestrian door is situated at the rear (east) façade.
Additional architectural features include a vent at the gable end of the primary (south) façade, pronounced window sill trim throughout, smooth or curved building corners, and an Art Modern style metal door knocker on the main entrance door. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, small shrubs, and medium-sized trees. *B10. Significance (continued):
The R.S. McGuire 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. 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 R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $5,500 to build in 1938. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Art Moderne style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the R.S. McGuire House include, but may not be limited to: T-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façades at the west and south; low-pitch hipped and gabled roof; minimal roof overhang and exposed rafter tails; smooth stucco siding with minimal texture throughout; stucco-clad chimney with exposed brick near the top; steel-frame multi-pane combination fixed-and-casement corner windows that wrap around building corners; building projections that are stepped back from the front (west) portion of the building; main entrance accessible by two curved concrete steps with a single, solid door and Art Moderne style metal door knocker that is situated below a curved roof awning; double-hung wood windows; pronounced window sill trim throughout; vent at the gable end; smooth or curved building corners; detached garage; and front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs. *B12.

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
