Historic Resources Commission Staff Report
July 15, 2024 – Special Meeting
Topic: HPPA No. 2024-08 – The Duggan House (825 North Lacy Street)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act) with David Bush Smith, Trustee of The David Bush Smith Living Trust dated July 15, 2009, for the property located at 825 North Lacy Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 1).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
David Bush Smith is requesting approval to execute a Mills Act Agreement with the City of Santa Ana at an existing residence located at 825 North Lacy Street that is currently listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties.
DISCUSSION
Project Location and Site Description
The subject property, known as the Duggan House, consists of an existing two-story residence that reflects characteristics of the Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival styles, and is approximately 2,440 square feet in size on a 10,500-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 2). The Duggan House was added to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (“Register”) in 2002, categorized as “Landmark.”
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 Landmark, making it eligible for a Mills Act Agreement. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the
HPPA No. 2024-08 – The Duggan House (825 North Lacy Street) July 15, 2024

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
Prior to historic listing, in 1989 the subject historic building was relocated to the existing parcel. That same year, a new two-car garage was permitted as well as a Site Plan Review for renovation and a rear addition to the subject property. The Site Plan Review project included extending the kitchen and bathroom, and adding a new laundry room at the building’s rear, remodeling the second floor, and extending the second floor deck. It was noted during the 2024 site visit that all aforementioned items were implemented at the subject property.
In 2002, the Historic Resources Commission placed the Duggan House on the Register and within the “Landmark” category for its distinguishing characteristics of the Queen Anne (Late Victorian), Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles. Character-defining exterior features of the Duggan House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: All original and restored exterior features of the Duggan House, including materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; turret; bay and other windows (including surrounds); front door; porch details; and architectural details such as brackets, rafter tails, and columns.
Additional future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include reroofing, removing the internal masonry fireplace and chimney due to structural safety concerns and repairing the external wood chimney like- for-like, repairing all windows and framing throughout as needed, repairing window screens as needed, addressing termite damage, and repainting the exterior. During staff’s site visit, the following were noted and added to the Mills Act Agreement work plan:
replace the north side door with period-appropriate door and hardware, replace exterior lighting with period-appropriate lighting, replace plastic door screens with period- appropriate wood screens, replace gutters with compatible material and style, repair siding as needed and like-for-like, and replace the garage door with a period-appropriate door. 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, HPPA No. 2024-08 – The Duggan House (825 North Lacy Street) July 15, 2024
4 3
5 4
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.
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. 2024-40, will be filed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Historic Property Preservation Agreement will reduce the Property Tax revenue account 01102002-50011 to the City by an estimated $1,212.75 annually, for a period of not less than ten years.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
: Mixed: Queen Anne (Late Victorian), Bungalow/Craftsman, Colonial Revival
The Queen Anne (Late Victorian) (also known as the Queen Anne Revival) dominated residential architectural design during the last twenty years of the nineteenth century in the West, and was nearly as influential on early commercial buildings. Identifying features include the front-facing gable roof; ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end; avoidance of flat wall surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal; and classical columns or pilasters. Multi-storied residential and commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well-developed examples can be found in California and in the southern states (McAlester, 263-268).
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.
The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
The most notable feature of this 1906 two-story house is the pentagonal turret with conical roof projecting from its upper southwest corner. The house exhibits box-like massing with a steeply pitched, pyramidal hipped roof. Narrow clapboard sheathes the walls and porch railings. Most windows are double-hung sash. The house shares characteristics of several styles: Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival. The turret with boxed and bracketed eaves and the second story bay window are suggestive of the Queen Anne style. Craftsman features include exposed rafter tails and a large tripartite window on the first floor, north of the entrance. The window has a fixed center pane and sidelights topped by a multipane transom.
The front porch is recessed into the southwest corner of the building. Three columns with exaggerated entasis supporting the porch roof are Colonial Revival in style. Closely spaced brackets line the frieze separating the first and second floors. An oval window distinguishes a first floor cant bay on the south elevation. Another cant bay, with a squared bay above, is located on the north elevation. The house was moved to the site in 1987 from the southeast corner of Sycamore and Pine Streets and has been fully restored. The front door screen, pole lamp, and picket fence were added later.

The Duggan House is a characteristic example of the eclecticism popular In the early years of the twentieth century, combining Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival stylistic elements. Although constructed elsewhere and moved to this site in 1987, the Duggan House is representative of the period, architecture, and historical associations that characterize French Park and thus is also important as a contributor to the French Park Historic District. According to previous research, William and Clara Duggan were the original owners. Mr. Duggan was in the insurance business and active in civic affairs. The Duggans lived in the house for decades; William Duggan passed away in 1930 and his widow, Clara, remained in the house until her death in 1947 (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. One of the activities undertaken in support of the historic district has been the relocation of several historic homes slated for demolition into French Park.
The Duggan 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 a representative example of the blending of architectural styles popular in the early years of the twentieth century.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance. Characteristic Queen Anne (Late Victorian) features include the five-sided turret and bay windows. Rafter tails and the tripartite window are Craftsman in design. The trio of porch columns suggest the Colonial Revival style. All original and restored exterior features of the Duggan House are character-defining and should be preserved, including: materials (wood) and finishes (siding); roof configuration and detailing; turret; bay and other windows (including surrounds); front door; porch details; and architectural details such as brackets, rafter tails, and columns.

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
