Regional History
The American period began when Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries, which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land outside the land grants became federal public land, which was surveyed into sections (one mile square), quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections. This federal public land could be purchased at a low fixed price per acre or could be obtained through homesteading after 1862 (Robinson 1948).The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978).

Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998).

Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Agjachemem or Juaneño.

Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978).

Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built c. 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975).The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portola expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.

After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848.

The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California.

Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941).

Santa Ana
The Project Area is located in the City of Santa Ana, which is the seat of Orange County, in California. The Portolá expedition visited the Santa Ana area in 1769 (Deal 2021). In 1809 Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta petitioned the Spanish Crown for a land concession, which was approved on July 1, 1810 and named Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana. The grant boundaries were described as the lands to the south and east of the Santa Ana River and to a line from the top of Red Hill to the bay in Newport that follows the alignment of modern Red Hill Avenue. The original boundaries of the rancho were around 70,000 acres. Originally, the Peralta and Yorba families lived together at Olive Hill at the mouth of Santa Ana Canyon. As their families grew, they spread throughout the rancho; the Peralta family adobe on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon still survives to this day. When the United States Land Commission reviewed the boundaries of the ranchos in the 1850s, the surveyors reduced the boundary of the rancho to 62,500 acres (Brigandi 2019a).

In 1869 the Yorba family sold 74 acres of the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana to William Spurgeon, who established the new town site of Santa Ana (Deal 2021). In 1868 the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana was broken up and divided among the heirs of the Yorba and Peralta families. The partition of the rancho and the selling of its land by the heirs initiated a surge of development in the area (Brigandi 2019b). Spurgeon came from central California to found a new town along with his business partner Ward Bradford, who was more interested in the investment than development and sold his shares after six months. Spurgeon laid out his town site and built himself a combination home and store.

In 1870 he applied for a post office under the name Santa Ana. Spurgeon won the name over an existing community to the north, which is now known as Olive, and was appointed its first postmaster. Spurgeon was also instrumental in lobbying the railroad to come to Santa Ana.

In 1877 Spurgeon and a group of local Santa Ana investors raised 10,000 dollars and 90 acres of land on the east side of town to encourage the Western Development Company, which was the real estate branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to come to Santa Ana. The lots were small, and the east–west streets ran parallel to the railroad, which put them at an odd angle to the layout of the original township. As a result, the town’s established business owners were reluctant to move their shops closer to the railroad depot (Brigandi 2019c).

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated in 1886 (City of Santa Ana 2021). One year later, Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County, and the City of Santa Ana was chosen to be the County Seat over Anaheim, whose residents had been at the head of the lobby to secede from Los Angeles County (Masters 2013).

Many buildings in the Santa Ana downtown area and surrounding bungalows were built in the early 1900s and 1920s to meet the needs of this mixed demographic, and the boardinghouse became a common property type for working class citizens seeking housing above commercial shops and office spaces. By 1906, the opening of the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car established a suburban route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and by 1910 Santa Ana had gradually grown in population to 8,429 people, making it the largest city in Orange County at the time (Marsh 1994).

Residential subdivisions in communities outside of the historic core expanded significantly during the 1910s and 1920s, including the construction of small- to medium-sized craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival style houses.

More than half of the Pico-Lowell district to the southwest of downtown had been subdivided into residential parcels by 1912. The 1910s also saw an expansion in manufacturing and industry, indicating Santa Ana's economic strength (Marsh 1994).

Santa Ana had created a solid economy centered on agriculture, manufacturing, and retail by the 1920s. This corresponded with Orange County's dramatic population expansion, with much of that increase concentrating in Santa Ana as it tried to acquire most of the region to the west of Orange County; as a result, Santa Ana became Orange County’s commercial hub. Santa Ana increased from 16,000 people in 1920 to 30,000 people by 1929, due in part to the construction of interurban rail networks and the popularity of automobiles in the 1920s. Through the 1930s, Santa Ana's downtown business core witnessed success and expansion as many of its brick structures along Fourth Street were renovated with classical and contemporary elements (Marsh 1994).

Most growth in the early 1940s and throughout World War II featured four area military bases, including the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, both of which were constructed to help the war effort. The Santa Ana Army Air Base operated as a basic training camp with no airplanes, hangars, or runways, while the training facility on 8th Street in downtown served airmen throughout the war (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Following World War II, Santa Ana experienced the increased suburbanization typical of Orange County at the time, as servicemen returned from the war and demand for homes in southern California increased, launching an unprecedented period of growth and industrial expansion that would significantly alter the once-expansive agricultural, open ranch landscape. Santa Ana’s population of 31,921 people in 1940 increased to 45,533 by 1950.

This inflow of new inhabitants and immigrants would last for the next 40 years (Marsh 1994).

The postwar housing boom accelerated change in the character of neighborhoods during the 1950s and 1960s, as demolition and new construction increased in neighborhoods such as the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood to the northeast of the City Center and the Riverview West neighborhood to the northwest of the City Center. The 1950s were particularly notable for the expansion of the car industry following the end of wartime gasoline rationing. The Fashion Square Mall was built in 1959 close to the Bullock's Department Store to the north of downtown, and changing social and economic trends contributed to the suburbanization of retail districts. Santa Ana's population was 156,359 in 1950 and had increased to 203,714 by 1980. This flood of new people was caused in part by altering postwar immigration regulations, especially those that engendered the influx of Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Downtown commercial deterioration was prevalent from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. This sparked a historic preservation movement whose proponents aimed to preserve the historic integrity of structures or promote change through reversible improvements. During the 1960s and 1980s, some historic properties in the French Park and Heninger Park neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with high- density multi-family properties, coinciding with the 1970s effort to establish the French Park neighborhood as the Santa Ana’s first local historic district in 1984 and the Heninger Park neighborhood as the second in 1986 through the creation of Specific Development zoning districts. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was added to the National Register in 1984, and the French Park Historic District was added in 1999. In 1998, the Santa Ana City Council passed the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which established the City's local inventory of historical resources, the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and the Historic Resources Commission to oversee the City of Satna Ana’s Historic Preservation Program (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Minimal Traditional (c. 1935–1950)
The subject property is an example of the Minimal Traditional style, which was a nationally prevalent style that emerged during the Great Depression. Minimal Traditional homes were designed to be simplistic, economical, and able to be produced at a mass scale. The prevalence of the style was the result of federal policies. Franklin D.

Roosevelt enacted the National Housing Act in 1934, creating the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The Minimal Traditional-style house was explicitly preferred in FHA guidelines for homeowners to secure FHA-insured State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

home loans. The style continued to be popular through World War II and the postwar housing boom due to the increased use of factory-produced materials, the ability to be quickly mass-produced and deployed, and the general rejection of excessive, material-intensive Craftsman, Victorian, or Period Revival styles. The popularity of the Minimal Traditional style faded by the mid-1950s because the effects of the Great Depression and war-time fiscal conservativism were forgotten (Architectural Resources Group 2019; California Department of Transportation 2011; McAlester 2018).

The character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include the following:
 Small scale
 One-story or one-and-a-half stories in height
 Low- or intermediate-pitched gable roof with little to no eave overhang  Typically features double-hung windows with either multi-pane or simulated multi-pane  Window placement occasionally includes two windows set near the building corner  Exterior cladding materials may include vertical and horizontal wood boards, shingles, brick veneer, and board-and-batten siding
 Minimal, limited architectural decoration, usually American Colonial Revival in character  Roof dormers are rare, except on Cape Cod-style Minimal Traditional houses  May have an attached or detached garage

Project Area History

Historic aerial images dating back to 1931 show that the residential portion of the Project Area was originally used for citrus groves and was bisected by Fairview Street, which dates to c. 1890. Located west of the Santa Ana River, the Project Area was part of a larger agricultural citrus-growing region in western Santa Ana that differs from the more urbanized parts of the city to the east of the Santa Ana River. After World War II, the citrus groves gave way to housing tracts and commercial development; by the early 1970s, most groves no longer remained.

Developers built the four residences within the Project Area (2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, 2502 Strawberry Lane) concurrently in 1950 as part of larger tract developments. 2501 Huckleberry Road and 2502 Huckleberry Road are part of single-family housing tract #1369, which consists of 41 parcels; 2501 Strawberry Lane and 2502 Strawberry Lane are part of single-family housing tract #1351, which consists of 54 parcels. Despite being two different tracts, #1369 and #1351 were built at the same time, have similar lot size, and have similar Minimal Traditional architectural style. Although the two tracts have remained in their 1950 layout, the area surrounding them has changed from citrus groves to tract developments.

Evaluation
The residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP, CRHR, or the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district, as demonstrated below.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1
Archival research of 2501 Huckleberry Road did not indicate any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history. Though the residence is reflective of the trend of early 1950s- era housing development in Santa Ana, archival research failed to indicate anything significant or unique about its development history. The residence was not the first or last of its type, and similar types exist throughout the region.

Furthermore, research did not indicate that the subject property is associated with more specific events or patterns of State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

development that have historical significance at the local, state, or national level. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion A/1.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2
To be eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, the subject property would need to be directly associated with a person considered historically significant at the local, state, or national level. There is no indication that current owner—John Bradbury—or any other former owners are people of great historical significance. In addition, directory and newspaper research did not uncover other names associated with the residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road. As a result, archival research failed to indicate any associations with any significant persons. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3
Built in 1950, the residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, and a recessed main entrance.

More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County. As a commonplace 1950s-era house, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion C/3.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
The information potential for 2501 Huckleberry Road is expressed in its built form and in the historical record. It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion D/4.

Integrity
The residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road possesses integrity of location because it has not been moved. The setting around the residence’s 1950 housing tract has changed from being mostly citrus groves in the 1950s to being surrounded by single-family suburban tract homes. Therefore, the change in surroundings has resulted in a lack of integrity of setting, feeling, and association. The house retains its original configuration, fenestration, siding, and garage so it maintains integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.

Regardless of integrity, due to lack of historical significance, 2501 Huckleberry Road does not meet NRHP or CRHR eligibility criteria as an individual resource or as part of any known or suspected historic district; the resource is not listed on any Certified Local Government historic property register.

City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(1) Buildings, structures or objects with distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, the residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950.

This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, and a recessed main entrance. More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County.
(2) Works of notable architects, builders, or designers whose style influenced architectural development; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, the modest design of the residence suggests that it was not the work of a master architect or builder.

Regional History
The American period began when Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries, which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land outside the land grants became federal public land, which was surveyed into sections (one mile square), quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections. This federal public land could be purchased at a low fixed price per acre or could be obtained through homesteading after 1862 (Robinson 1948).The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978).

Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998).

Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Agjachemem or Juaneño.

Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978).

Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built c. 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975).The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portola expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.

After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848.

The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California.

Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941).

Santa Ana
The Project Area is located in the City of Santa Ana, which is the seat of Orange County, in California. The Portolá expedition visited the Santa Ana area in 1769 (Deal 2021). In 1809 Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta petitioned the Spanish Crown for a land concession, which was approved on July 1, 1810 and named Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana. The grant boundaries were described as the lands to the south and east of the Santa Ana River and to a line from the top of Red Hill to the bay in Newport that follows the alignment of modern Red Hill Avenue. The original boundaries of the rancho were around 70,000 acres. Originally, the Peralta and Yorba families lived together at Olive Hill at the mouth of Santa Ana Canyon. As their families grew, they spread throughout the rancho; the Peralta family adobe on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon still survives to this day. When the United States Land Commission reviewed the boundaries of the ranchos in the 1850s, the surveyors reduced the boundary of the rancho to 62,500 acres (Brigandi 2019a).

In 1869 the Yorba family sold 74 acres of the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana to William Spurgeon, who established the new town site of Santa Ana (Deal 2021). In 1868 the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana was broken up and divided among the heirs of the Yorba and Peralta families. The partition of the rancho and the selling of its land by the heirs initiated a surge of development in the area (Brigandi 2019b). Spurgeon came from central California to found a new town along with his business partner Ward Bradford, who was more interested in the investment than development and sold his shares after six months. Spurgeon laid out his town site and built himself a combination home and store.

In 1870 he applied for a post office under the name Santa Ana. Spurgeon won the name over an existing community to the north, which is now known as Olive, and was appointed its first postmaster. Spurgeon was also instrumental in lobbying the railroad to come to Santa Ana.

In 1877 Spurgeon and a group of local Santa Ana investors raised 10,000 dollars and 90 acres of land on the east side of town to encourage the Western Development Company, which was the real estate branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to come to Santa Ana. The lots were small, and the east–west streets ran parallel to the railroad, which put them at an odd angle to the layout of the original township. As a result, the town’s established business owners were reluctant to move their shops closer to the railroad depot (Brigandi 2019c).

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated in 1886 (City of Santa Ana 2021). One year later, Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County, and the City of Santa Ana was chosen to be the County Seat over Anaheim, whose residents had been at the head of the lobby to secede from Los Angeles County (Masters 2013).

Many buildings in the Santa Ana downtown area and surrounding bungalows were built in the early 1900s and 1920s to meet the needs of this mixed demographic, and the boardinghouse became a common property type for working class citizens seeking housing above commercial shops and office spaces. By 1906, the opening of the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car established a suburban route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and by 1910 Santa Ana had gradually grown in population to 8,429 people, making it the largest city in Orange County at the time (Marsh 1994).

Residential subdivisions in communities outside of the historic core expanded significantly during the 1910s and 1920s, including the construction of small- to medium-sized craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival style houses.

More than half of the Pico-Lowell district to the southwest of downtown had been subdivided into residential parcels by 1912. The 1910s also saw an expansion in manufacturing and industry, indicating Santa Ana's economic strength (Marsh 1994).

Santa Ana had created a solid economy centered on agriculture, manufacturing, and retail by the 1920s. This corresponded with Orange County's dramatic population expansion, with much of that increase concentrating in Santa Ana as it tried to acquire most of the region to the west of Orange County; as a result, Santa Ana became Orange County’s commercial hub. Santa Ana increased from 16,000 people in 1920 to 30,000 people by 1929, due in part to the construction of interurban rail networks and the popularity of automobiles in the 1920s. Through the 1930s, Santa Ana's downtown business core witnessed success and expansion as many of its brick structures along Fourth Street were renovated with classical and contemporary elements (Marsh 1994).

Most growth in the early 1940s and throughout World War II featured four area military bases, including the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, both of which were constructed to help the war effort. The Santa Ana Army Air Base operated as a basic training camp with no airplanes, hangars, or runways, while the training facility on 8th Street in downtown served airmen throughout the war (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Following World War II, Santa Ana experienced the increased suburbanization typical of Orange County at the time, as servicemen returned from the war and demand for homes in southern California increased, launching an unprecedented period of growth and industrial expansion that would significantly alter the once-expansive agricultural, open ranch landscape. Santa Ana’s population of 31,921 people in 1940 increased to 45,533 by 1950.

This inflow of new inhabitants and immigrants would last for the next 40 years (Marsh 1994).

The postwar housing boom accelerated change in the character of neighborhoods during the 1950s and 1960s, as demolition and new construction increased in neighborhoods such as the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood to the northeast of the City Center and the Riverview West neighborhood to the northwest of the City Center. The 1950s were particularly notable for the expansion of the car industry following the end of wartime gasoline rationing. The Fashion Square Mall was built in 1959 close to the Bullock's Department Store to the north of downtown, and changing social and economic trends contributed to the suburbanization of retail districts. Santa Ana's population was 156,359 in 1950 and had increased to 203,714 by 1980. This flood of new people was caused in part by altering postwar immigration regulations, especially those that engendered the influx of Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Downtown commercial deterioration was prevalent from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. This sparked a historic preservation movement whose proponents aimed to preserve the historic integrity of structures or promote change through reversible improvements. During the 1960s and 1980s, some historic properties in the French Park and Heninger Park neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with high- density multi-family properties, coinciding with the 1970s effort to establish the French Park neighborhood as the Santa Ana’s first local historic district in 1984 and the Heninger Park neighborhood as the second in 1986 through the creation of Specific Development zoning districts. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was added to the National Register in 1984, and the French Park Historic District was added in 1999. In 1998, the Santa Ana City Council passed the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which established the City's local inventory of historical resources, the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and the Historic Resources Commission to oversee the City of Satna Ana’s Historic Preservation Program (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Minimal Traditional (c. 1935–1950)
The subject property is an example of the Minimal Traditional style, which was a nationally prevalent style that emerged during the Great Depression. Minimal Traditional homes were designed to be simplistic, economical, and able to be produced at a mass scale. The prevalence of the style was the result of federal policies. Franklin D.

Roosevelt enacted the National Housing Act in 1934, creating the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The Minimal Traditional-style house was explicitly preferred in FHA guidelines for homeowners to secure FHA-insured State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

home loans. The style continued to be popular through World War II and the postwar housing boom due to the increased use of factory-produced materials, the ability to be quickly mass-produced and deployed, and the general rejection of excessive, material-intensive Craftsman, Victorian, or Period Revival styles. The popularity of the Minimal Traditional style faded by the mid-1950s because the effects of the Great Depression and war-time fiscal conservativism were forgotten (Architectural Resources Group 2019; California Department of Transportation 2011; McAlester 2018).

The character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include the following:

Small scale
One-story or one-and-a-half stories in height
Low- or intermediate-pitched gable roof with little to no eave overhang Typically features double-hung windows with either multi-pane or simulated multi-pane Window placement occasionally includes two windows set near the building corner Exterior cladding materials may include vertical and horizontal wood boards, shingles, brick veneer, and board- and-batten siding
Minimal, limited architectural decoration, usually American Colonial Revival in character Roof dormers are rare, except on Cape Cod-style Minimal Traditional houses May have an attached or detached garage

Project Area History

Historic aerial images dating back to 1931 show that the residential portion of the Project Area was originally used for citrus groves and was bisected by Fairview Street, which dates to c. 1890. Located west of the Santa Ana River, the Project Area was part of a larger agricultural citrus-growing region in western Santa Ana that differs from the more urbanized parts of the city to the east of the Santa Ana River. After World War II, the citrus groves gave way to housing tracts and commercial development; by the early 1970s, most groves no longer remained.

Developers built the four residences within the Project Area (2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, 2502 Strawberry Lane) concurrently in 1950 as part of larger tract developments. 2501 Huckleberry Road and 2502 Huckleberry Road are part of single-family housing tract #1369, which consists of 41 parcels; 2501 Strawberry Lane and 2502 Strawberry Lane are part of single-family housing tract #1351, which consists of 54 parcels. Despite being two different tracts, #1369 and #1351 were built at the same time, have similar lot size, and have similar Minimal Traditional architectural style. Although the two tracts have remained in their 1950 layout, the area surrounding them has changed from citrus groves to tract developments.

Evaluation

The residence at 2502 Huckleberry Road does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district, as demonstrated below.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1
Archival research of 2502 Huckleberry Road did not indicate any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history. Though the residence is reflective of the trend of early-1950s housing development in Santa Ana, archival research failed to indicate anything significant or unique about its development history. The residence was not the first or last of its type, and similar types exist throughout the region.

Furthermore, research did not indicate that the subject property is associated with more specific events or patterns of development that have historical significance at the local, state, or national level. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion A/1.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2
To be eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, the subject property would need to be directly associated with a person considered historically significant at the local, state, or national level. There is no indication that current owners—Enrique and Marion Ramirez—or any other former owners are people of great historical significance. In addition, directory and newspaper research did not uncover other names associated with the residence at 2501 Huckleberry Road. As a result, archival research failed to indicate any associations with any significant persons.

Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3
Built in 1950, the residence at 2502 Huckleberry Road represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, corner windows, and a recessed main entrance. More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County. As a commonplace 1950s-era house, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction.

Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion C/3.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
The information potential for 2502 Huckleberry Road is expressed in its built form and in the historical record. It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion D/4.

Integrity
The residence at 2502 Huckleberry Road possesses integrity of location because it has not been moved. The setting around the residence’s 1950 housing tract has changed from being mostly citrus groves in the 1950s to being surrounded by single-family suburban tract homes. Therefore, the change in surroundings has resulted in a lack of integrity of setting, feeling, and association. A garage-to-room conversion on the primary façade and the replacement windows on all elevations have resulted in a loss of integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.

Regardless of integrity, due to lack of historical significance, 2502 Huckleberry Road does not meet NRHP or CRHR eligibility criteria as an individual resource or as part of any known or suspected historic district; the resource is not listed on any Certified Local Government historic property register.

Regional History
The American period began when Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries, which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land outside the land grants became federal public land, which was surveyed into sections (one mile square), quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections. This federal public land could be purchased at a low fixed price per acre or could be obtained through homesteading after 1862 (Robinson 1948).The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978).

Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998).

Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Agjachemem or Juaneño.

Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978).

Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built c. 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975).The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portola expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.

After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848.

The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California.

Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941).

Santa Ana
The Project Area is located in the City of Santa Ana, which is the seat of Orange County, in California. The Portolá expedition visited the Santa Ana area in 1769 (Deal 2021). In 1809 Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta petitioned the Spanish Crown for a land concession, which was approved on July 1, 1810 and named Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana. The grant boundaries were described as the lands to the south and east of the Santa Ana River and to a line from the top of Red Hill to the bay in Newport that follows the alignment of modern Red Hill Avenue. The original boundaries of the rancho were around 70,000 acres. Originally, the Peralta and Yorba families lived together at Olive Hill at the mouth of Santa Ana Canyon. As their families grew, they spread throughout the rancho; the Peralta family adobe on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon still survives to this day. When the United States Land Commission reviewed the boundaries of the ranchos in the 1850s, the surveyors reduced the boundary of the rancho to 62,500 acres (Brigandi 2019a).

In 1869 the Yorba family sold 74 acres of the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana to William Spurgeon, who established the new town site of Santa Ana (Deal 2021). In 1868 the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana was broken up and divided among the heirs of the Yorba and Peralta families. The partition of the rancho and the selling of its land by the heirs initiated a surge of development in the area (Brigandi 2019b). Spurgeon came from central California to found a new town along with his business partner Ward Bradford, who was more interested in the investment than development and sold his shares after six months. Spurgeon laid out his town site and built himself a combination home and store.

In 1870 he applied for a post office under the name Santa Ana. Spurgeon won the name over an existing community to the north, which is now known as Olive, and was appointed its first postmaster. Spurgeon was also instrumental in lobbying the railroad to come to Santa Ana.

In 1877 Spurgeon and a group of local Santa Ana investors raised 10,000 dollars and 90 acres of land on the east side of town to encourage the Western Development Company, which was the real estate branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to come to Santa Ana. The lots were small, and the east–west streets ran parallel to the railroad, which put them at an odd angle to the layout of the original township. As a result, the town’s established business owners were reluctant to move their shops closer to the railroad depot (Brigandi 2019c).

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated in 1886 (City of Santa Ana 2021). One year later, Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County, and the City of Santa Ana was chosen to be the County Seat over Anaheim, whose residents had been at the head of the lobby to secede from Los Angeles County (Masters 2013).

Many buildings in the Santa Ana downtown area and surrounding bungalows were built in the early 1900s and 1920s to meet the needs of this mixed demographic, and the boardinghouse became a common property type for working class citizens seeking housing above commercial shops and office spaces. By 1906, the opening of the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car established a suburban route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and by 1910 Santa Ana had gradually grown in population to 8,429 people, making it the largest city in Orange County at the time (Marsh 1994).

Residential subdivisions in communities outside of the historic core expanded significantly during the 1910s and 1920s, including the construction of small- to medium-sized craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival style houses.

More than half of the Pico-Lowell district to the southwest of downtown had been subdivided into residential parcels by 1912. The 1910s also saw an expansion in manufacturing and industry, indicating Santa Ana's economic strength (Marsh 1994).

Santa Ana had created a solid economy centered on agriculture, manufacturing, and retail by the 1920s. This corresponded with Orange County's dramatic population expansion, with much of that increase concentrating in Santa Ana as it tried to acquire most of the region to the west of Orange County; as a result, Santa Ana became Orange County’s commercial hub. Santa Ana increased from 16,000 people in 1920 to 30,000 people by 1929, due in part to the construction of interurban rail networks and the popularity of automobiles in the 1920s. Through the 1930s, Santa Ana's downtown business core witnessed success and expansion as many of its brick structures along Fourth Street were renovated with classical and contemporary elements (Marsh 1994).

Most growth in the early 1940s and throughout World War II featured four area military bases, including the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, both of which were constructed to help the war effort. The Santa Ana Army Air Base operated as a basic training camp with no airplanes, hangars, or runways, while the training facility on 8th Street in downtown served airmen throughout the war (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Following World War II, Santa Ana experienced the increased suburbanization typical of Orange County at the time, as servicemen returned from the war and demand for homes in southern California increased, launching an unprecedented period of growth and industrial expansion that would significantly alter the once-expansive agricultural, open ranch landscape. Santa Ana’s population of 31,921 people in 1940 increased to 45,533 by 1950.

This inflow of new inhabitants and immigrants would last for the next 40 years (Marsh 1994).

The postwar housing boom accelerated change in the character of neighborhoods during the 1950s and 1960s, as demolition and new construction increased in neighborhoods such as the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood to the northeast of the City Center and the Riverview West neighborhood to the northwest of the City Center. The 1950s were particularly notable for the expansion of the car industry following the end of wartime gasoline rationing. The Fashion Square Mall was built in 1959 close to the Bullock's Department Store to the north of downtown, and changing social and economic trends contributed to the suburbanization of retail districts. Santa Ana's population was 156,359 in 1950 and had increased to 203,714 by 1980. This flood of new people was caused in part by altering postwar immigration regulations, especially those that engendered the influx of Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Downtown commercial deterioration was prevalent from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. This sparked a historic preservation movement whose proponents aimed to preserve the historic integrity of structures or promote change through reversible improvements. During the 1960s and 1980s, some historic properties in the French Park and Heninger Park neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with high- density multi-family properties, coinciding with the 1970s effort to establish the French Park neighborhood as the Santa Ana’s first local historic district in 1984 and the Heninger Park neighborhood as the second in 1986 through the creation of Specific Development zoning districts. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was added to the National Register in 1984, and the French Park Historic District was added in 1999. In 1998, the Santa Ana City Council passed the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which established the City's local inventory of historical resources, the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and the Historic Resources Commission to oversee the City of Satna Ana’s Historic Preservation Program (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Minimal Traditional (c. 1935–1950)
The subject property is an example of the Minimal Traditional style, which was a nationally prevalent style that emerged during the Great Depression. Minimal Traditional homes were designed to be simplistic, economical, and able to be produced at a mass scale. The prevalence of the style was the result of federal policies. Franklin D.

Roosevelt enacted the National Housing Act in 1934, creating the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The Minimal Traditional-style house was explicitly preferred in FHA guidelines for homeowners to secure FHA-insured home loans. The style continued to be popular through World War II and the postwar housing boom due to the increased use of factory-produced materials, the ability to be quickly mass-produced and deployed, and the general rejection of excessive, material-intensive Craftsman, Victorian, or Period Revival styles. The popularity of the Minimal Traditional style faded by the mid-1950s because the effects of the Great Depression and war-time fiscal conservativism were forgotten (Architectural Resources Group 2019; California Department of Transportation 2011; McAlester 2018).

The character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include the following:

Small scale
One-story or one-and-a-half stories in height
Low- or intermediate-pitched gable roof with little to no eave overhang Typically features double-hung windows with either multi-pane or simulated multi-pane Window placement occasionally includes two windows set near the building corner Exterior cladding materials may include vertical and horizontal wood boards, shingles, brick veneer, and board- and-batten siding
Minimal, limited architectural decoration, usually American Colonial Revival in character Roof dormers are rare, except on Cape Cod-style Minimal Traditional houses May have an attached or detached garage

Project Area History

Historic aerial images dating back to 1931 show that the residential portion of the Project Area was originally used for citrus groves and was bisected by Fairview Street, which dates to c. 1890. Located west of the Santa Ana River, the Project Area was part of a larger agricultural citrus-growing region in western Santa Ana that differs from the more urbanized parts of the city to the east of the Santa Ana River. After World War II, the citrus groves gave way to housing tracts and commercial development; by the early 1970s, most groves no longer remained.

Developers built the four residences within the Project Area (2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, 2502 Strawberry Lane) concurrently in 1950 as part of larger tract developments. 2501 Huckleberry Road and 2502 Huckleberry Road are part of single-family housing tract #1369, which consists of 41 parcels; 2501 Strawberry Lane and 2502 Strawberry Lane are part of single-family housing tract #1351, which consists of 54 parcels. Despite being two different tracts, #1369 and #1351 were built at the same time, have similar lot size, and have similar Minimal Traditional architectural style. Although the two tracts have remained in their 1950 layout, the area surrounding them has changed from citrus groves to tract developments.

Evaluation
The residence at 2501 Strawberry Lane does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district, as demonstrated below.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1
Archival research of 2501 Strawberry Lane did not indicate any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history. Though the residence is reflective of the trend of early 1950s-era housing development in Santa Ana, archival research failed to indicate anything significant or unique about its development State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

history. The residence was not the first or last of its type, and similar types exist throughout the region. Furthermore, research did not indicate that the subject property is associated with more specific events or patterns of development that have historical significance at the local, state, or national level. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion A/1.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2
To be eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, the subject property would need to be directly associated with a person considered historically significant at the local, state, or national level. There is no indication that current owner—the Cai-Buitran Family Trust—or any other former owners are people of great historical significance. In addition, directory and newspaper research did not uncover other names associated with the residence at 2501 Strawberry Lane. As a result, archival research failed to indicate any associations with any significant persons.

Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3
Built in 1950, the residence at 2501 Strawberry Lane represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, and a recessed main entrance.

More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County. As a commonplace 1950s-era house, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion C/3.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
The information potential for 2501 Strawberry Lane is expressed in its built form and in the historical record. It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion D/4.

Integrity
The residence at 2501 Strawberry Lane possesses integrity of location because it has not been moved. The setting around the residence’s 1950 housing tract has changed from mostly citrus groves in the 1950s to being surrounded by single-family suburban tract homes. Therefore, the change in surroundings has resulted in a lack of integrity of setting, feeling, and association. The addition of non-original rough-textured stucco, non-original columns, non- original entrance door, and non-original fenestration have resulted in a loss of integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.

Regardless of integrity, due to lack of historical significance, 2501 Strawberry Lane does not meet NRHP or CRHR eligibility criteria as an individual resource or as part of any known or suspected historic district; the resource is not listed on any Certified Local Government historic property register.

City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(1) Buildings, structures or objects with distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, the residence at 2501 Strawberry Lane represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, and a recessed main entrance. More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County.

Regional History
The American period began when Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries, which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land outside the land grants became federal public land, which was surveyed into sections (one mile square), quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections. This federal public land could be purchased at a low fixed price per acre or could be obtained through homesteading after 1862 (Robinson 1948).The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978).

Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998).

Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Agjachemem or Juaneño.

Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978).

Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built c. 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975).The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portola expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.

After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848.

The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California.

Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941).

Santa Ana
The Project Area is located in the City of Santa Ana, which is the seat of Orange County, in California. The Portolá expedition visited the Santa Ana area in 1769 (Deal 2021). In 1809 Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta petitioned the Spanish Crown for a land concession, which was approved on July 1, 1810 and named Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana. The grant boundaries were described as the lands to the south and east of the Santa Ana River and to a line from the top of Red Hill to the bay in Newport that follows the alignment of modern Red Hill Avenue. The original boundaries of the rancho were around 70,000 acres. Originally, the Peralta and Yorba families lived together at Olive Hill at the mouth of Santa Ana Canyon. As their families grew, they spread throughout the rancho; the Peralta family adobe on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon still survives to this day. When the United States Land Commission reviewed the boundaries of the ranchos in the 1850s, the surveyors reduced the boundary of the rancho to 62,500 acres (Brigandi 2019a).

In 1869 the Yorba family sold 74 acres of the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana to William Spurgeon, who established the new town site of Santa Ana (Deal 2021). In 1868 the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana was broken up and divided among the heirs of the Yorba and Peralta families. The partition of the rancho and the selling of its land by the heirs initiated a surge of development in the area (Brigandi 2019b). Spurgeon came from central California to found a new town along with his business partner Ward Bradford, who was more interested in the investment than development and sold his shares after six months. Spurgeon laid out his town site and built himself a combination home and store.

In 1870 he applied for a post office under the name Santa Ana. Spurgeon won the name over an existing community to the north, which is now known as Olive, and was appointed its first postmaster. Spurgeon was also instrumental in lobbying the railroad to come to Santa Ana.

In 1877 Spurgeon and a group of local Santa Ana investors raised 10,000 dollars and 90 acres of land on the east side of town to encourage the Western Development Company, which was the real estate branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to come to Santa Ana. The lots were small, and the east–west streets ran parallel to the railroad, which put them at an odd angle to the layout of the original township. As a result, the town’s established business owners were reluctant to move their shops closer to the railroad depot (Brigandi 2019c).

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated in 1886 (City of Santa Ana 2021). One year later, Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County, and the City of Santa Ana was chosen to be the County Seat over Anaheim, whose residents had been at the head of the lobby to secede from Los Angeles County (Masters 2013).

Many buildings in the Santa Ana downtown area and surrounding bungalows were built in the early 1900s and 1920s to meet the needs of this mixed demographic, and the boardinghouse became a common property type for working class citizens seeking housing above commercial shops and office spaces. By 1906, the opening of the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car established a suburban route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and by 1910 Santa Ana had gradually grown in population to 8,429 people, making it the largest city in Orange County at the time (Marsh 1994).

Residential subdivisions in communities outside of the historic core expanded significantly during the 1910s and 1920s, including the construction of small- to medium-sized craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival style houses.

More than half of the Pico-Lowell district to the southwest of downtown had been subdivided into residential parcels by 1912. The 1910s also saw an expansion in manufacturing and industry, indicating Santa Ana's economic strength (Marsh 1994).

Santa Ana had created a solid economy centered on agriculture, manufacturing, and retail by the 1920s. This corresponded with Orange County's dramatic population expansion, with much of that increase concentrating in Santa Ana as it tried to acquire most of the region to the west of Orange County; as a result, Santa Ana became Orange County’s commercial hub. Santa Ana increased from 16,000 people in 1920 to 30,000 people by 1929, due in part to the construction of interurban rail networks and the popularity of automobiles in the 1920s. Through the 1930s, Santa Ana's downtown business core witnessed success and expansion as many of its brick structures along Fourth Street were renovated with classical and contemporary elements (Marsh 1994).

Most growth in the early 1940s and throughout World War II featured four area military bases, including the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, both of which were constructed to help the war effort. The Santa Ana Army Air Base operated as a basic training camp with no airplanes, hangars, or runways, while the training facility on 8th Street in downtown served airmen throughout the war (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Following World War II, Santa Ana experienced the increased suburbanization typical of Orange County at the time, as servicemen returned from the war and demand for homes in southern California increased, launching an unprecedented period of growth and industrial expansion that would significantly alter the once-expansive agricultural, open ranch landscape. Santa Ana’s population of 31,921 people in 1940 increased to 45,533 by 1950.

This inflow of new inhabitants and immigrants would last for the next 40 years (Marsh 1994).

The postwar housing boom accelerated change in the character of neighborhoods during the 1950s and 1960s, as demolition and new construction increased in neighborhoods such as the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood to the northeast of the City Center and the Riverview West neighborhood to the northwest of the City Center. The 1950s were particularly notable for the expansion of the car industry following the end of wartime gasoline rationing. The Fashion Square Mall was built in 1959 close to the Bullock's Department Store to the north of downtown, and changing social and economic trends contributed to the suburbanization of retail districts. Santa Ana's population was 156,359 in 1950 and had increased to 203,714 by 1980. This flood of new people was caused in part by altering postwar immigration regulations, especially those that engendered the influx of Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Downtown commercial deterioration was prevalent from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. This sparked a historic preservation movement whose proponents aimed to preserve the historic integrity of structures or promote change through reversible improvements. During the 1960s and 1980s, some historic properties in the French Park and Heninger Park neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with high- density multi-family properties, coinciding with the 1970s effort to establish the French Park neighborhood as the Santa Ana’s first local historic district in 1984 and the Heninger Park neighborhood as the second in 1986 through the creation of Specific Development zoning districts. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was added to the National Register in 1984, and the French Park Historic District was added in 1999. In 1998, the Santa Ana City Council passed the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which established the City's local inventory of historical resources, the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and the Historic Resources Commission to oversee the City of Satna Ana’s Historic Preservation Program (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Minimal Traditional (c. 1935–1950)
The subject property is an example of the Minimal Traditional style, which was a nationally prevalent style that emerged during the Great Depression. Minimal Traditional homes were designed to be simplistic, economical, and able to be produced at a mass scale. The prevalence of the style was the result of federal policies. Franklin D.

Roosevelt enacted the National Housing Act in 1934, creating the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The Minimal Traditional-style house was explicitly preferred in FHA guidelines for homeowners to secure FHA-insured home loans. The style continued to be popular through World War II and the postwar housing boom due to the increased use of factory-produced materials, the ability to be quickly mass-produced and deployed, and the general rejection of excessive, material-intensive Craftsman, Victorian, or Period Revival styles. The popularity of the Minimal Traditional style faded by the mid-1950s because the effects of the Great Depression and war-time fiscal conservativism were forgotten (Architectural Resources Group 2019; California Department of Transportation 2011; McAlester 2018).

The character-defining features of the Minimal Traditional style include the following:

Small scale
One-story or one-and-a-half stories in height
Low- or intermediate-pitched gable roof with little to no eave overhang Typically features double-hung windows with either multi-pane or simulated multi-pane Window placement occasionally includes two windows set near the building corner Exterior cladding materials may include vertical and horizontal wood boards, shingles, brick veneer, and board- and-batten siding
Minimal, limited architectural decoration, usually American Colonial Revival in character Roof dormers are rare, except on Cape Cod-style Minimal Traditional houses May have an attached or detached garage

Project Area History

Historic aerial images dating back to 1931 show that the residential portion of the Project Area was originally used for citrus groves and was bisected by Fairview Street, which dates to c. 1890. Located west of the Santa Ana River, the Project Area was part of a larger agricultural citrus-growing region in western Santa Ana that differs from the more urbanized parts of the city to the east of the Santa Ana River. After World War II, the citrus groves gave way to housing tracts and commercial development; by the early 1970s, most groves no longer remained.

Developers built the four residences within the Project Area (2501 Huckleberry Road, 2502 Huckleberry Road, 2501 Strawberry Lane, 2502 Strawberry Lane) concurrently in 1950 as part of larger tract developments. 2501 Huckleberry Road and 2502 Huckleberry Road are part of single-family housing tract #1369, which consists of 41 parcels; 2501 Strawberry Lane and 2502 Strawberry Lane are part of single-family housing tract #1351, which consists of 54 parcels. Despite being two different tracts, #1369 and #1351 were built at the same time, have similar lot size, and have similar Minimal Traditional architectural style. Although the two tracts have remained in their 1950 layout, the area surrounding them has changed from citrus groves to tract developments.

Evaluation

The residence at 2502 Strawberry Lane does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district, as demonstrated below.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1
Archival research of 2502 Strawberry Lane did not indicate any associations with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history. Though the residence is reflective of the trend of early 1950s-era housing State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

development in Santa Ana, archival research failed to indicate anything significant or unique about its development history. The residence was not the first or last of its type, and similar types exist throughout the region. Furthermore, research did not indicate that the subject property is associated with more specific events or patterns of development that have historical significance at the local, state, or national level. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion A/1.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2
To be eligible under NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2, the subject property would need to be directly associated with a person considered historically significant at the local, state, or national level. There is no indication that current owners—Phuong Tran and Doan Nguyen—or any other former owners are people of great historical significance. In addition, directory and newspaper research did not uncover other names associated with the residence at 2502 Strawberry Lane. As a result, archival research failed to indicate any associations with any significant persons.

Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3
Built in 1950, the residence at 2502 Strawberry Lane represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, a chimney, and a recessed main entrance.

More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County. As a commonplace 1950s-era house, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion C/3.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
The information potential for 2502 Strawberry Lane is expressed in its built form and in the historical record. It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Therefore, it is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion D/4.

Integrity
The residence at 2502 Strawberry Lane possesses integrity of location because it has not been moved. The setting around the residence’s 1950 housing tract has changed from mostly citrus groves in the 1950s to being surrounded by single-family suburban tract homes. Therefore, the change in surroundings has resulted in a lack of integrity of setting, feeling, and association. The addition of a non-original entrance door, non-original fenestration, and resized window openings have resulted in a loss of integrity of design, materials, and workmanship.

Regardless of integrity, due to lack of historical significance, 2502 Strawberry Lane does not meet NRHP or CRHR eligibility criteria as an individual resource or as part of any known or suspected historic district; the resource is not listed on any Certified Local Government historic property register.

City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(1) Buildings, structures or objects with distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, the residence at 2502 Strawberry Lane represents a typical example of a Minimal Traditional-style house, which was a common housing type in California from 1935 to 1950. This Minimal Traditional-style dwelling is not a fully realized expression of the style, which may feature dormers, corner windows, and a recessed main entrance. More high-style and intact versions of Minimal Traditional-style dwellings are located throughout Santa Ana and Orange County.

B10. Significance (continued):

Regional History
The American period began when Mexico and the United States signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California. Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries, which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land outside the land grants became federal public land, which was surveyed into sections (one mile square), quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections. This federal public land could be purchased at a low fixed price per acre or could be obtained through homesteading after 1862 (Robinson 1948).The first European to visit California was Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo was sent north by the Viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) to look for the Northwest Passage. Cabrillo visited San Diego Bay, Catalina Island, San Pedro Bay, and the northern Channel Islands. The English adventurer Francis Drake visited the Miwok Native American group at Drake’s Bay or Bodega Bay in 1579. Sebastian Vizcaíno explored the coast as far north as Monterey in 1602. He reported that Monterey was an excellent location for a port (Castillo 1978).

Vizcaíno also named San Diego Bay to commemorate Saint Didacus. The name began to appear on European maps of the New World by 1624 (Gudde 1998).

Colonization of California began with the Spanish Portolá land expedition. The expedition, led by Captain Gaspar de Portolá of the Spanish army and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, explored the California coast from San Diego to the Monterrey Bay Area in 1769. As a result of this expedition, Spanish missions to convert the native population, presidios (forts), and towns were established. The Franciscan missionary friars established 21 missions in Alta California (the area north of Baja California) beginning with Mission San Diego in 1769 and ending with the mission in Sonoma established in 1823. The purpose of the missions and presidios was to establish Spanish economic, military, political, and religious control over the Alta California territory. Mission San Diego was established to convert the Native Americans that lived in the area, known as the Kumeyaay or Diegueño. Mission San Gabriel Archangel was founded in 1771 east of what is now Los Angeles to convert the Tongva or Gabrielino. Mission San Fernando, also in Tongva/Gabrielino territory, was established in 1797. Mission San Juan Capistrano was established in 1776 on San Juan Creek (in what is now southern Orange County) to convert the Agjachemem or Juaneño.

Mission San Luis Rey was established in 1798 on the San Luis Rey River (in what is now northern San Diego County) to convert the Luiseño. Missions San Buenaventura and Santa Barbara were founded in Chumash territory in 1782 and 1786, respectively (Castillo 1978).

Some missions later established outposts in inland areas. An asistencia (mission outpost) of Mission San Luis Rey, known as San Antonio de Pala, was built in Luiseño territory along the upper San Luis Rey River near Mount Palomar in 1810 (Pourade 1961). A chapel administered by Mission San Gabriel Archangel was established in the San Bernardino area in 1819 (Bean and Smith 1978). The present asistencia within the western outskirts of present-day Redlands was built c. 1830 (Haenszel and Reynolds 1975).The missions sustained themselves through cattle ranching and traded hides and tallow for supplies brought by ship. Large cattle ranches were established by Mission San Luis Rey at Temecula and San Jacinto (Gunther 1984). The Spanish also constructed presidios, or forts, at San Diego and Santa Barbara, and a pueblo, or town, was established at Los Angeles. The Spanish period in California began in 1769 with the Portola expedition and ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.

After Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, what is now California became the Mexican province of Alta California. The Mexican government closed the missions in the 1830s and former mission lands were granted to retired soldiers and other Mexican citizens for use as cattle ranches. Much of the land along the coast and in the interior valleys became part of Mexican land grants or “ranchos” (Robinson 1948). During the Mexican period there were small towns at San Diego (near the presidio), San Juan Capistrano (around the mission), and Los Angeles. The rancho owners lived in one of the towns or in an adobe house on the rancho. The Mexican Period includes the years 1821 to 1848.

The American period began when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between Mexico and the United States in 1848. As a result of the treaty, Alta California became part of the United States as the territory of California.

Rapid population increase occasioned by the Gold Rush of 1849 allowed California to become a state in 1850. Most Mexican land grants were confirmed to the grantees by U.S. courts, but usually with more restricted boundaries which were surveyed by the U.S. Surveyor General’s office. Land that was not part of a land grant was owned by the U.S. government until it was acquired by individuals through purchase or homesteading. Floods and drought in the 1860s greatly reduced the cattle herds on the ranchos, making it difficult to pay the new American taxes on the thousands of acres they owned. Many Mexican-American cattle ranchers borrowed money at usurious rates from newly arrived Anglo- Americans. The resulting foreclosures and land sales transferred most of the land grants into the hands of Anglo-Americans (Cleland 1941).

Santa Ana
The Project Area is located in the City of Santa Ana, which is the seat of Orange County, in California. The Portolá expedition visited the Santa Ana area in 1769 (Deal 2021). In 1809 Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta petitioned the Spanish Crown for a land concession, which was approved on July 1, 1810 and named Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana. The grant boundaries were described as the lands to the south and east of the Santa Ana River and to a line from the top of Red Hill to the bay in Newport that follows the alignment of modern Red Hill Avenue. The original boundaries of the rancho were around 70,000 acres. Originally, the Peralta and Yorba families lived together at Olive Hill at the mouth of Santa Ana Canyon. As their families grew, they spread throughout the rancho; the Peralta family adobe on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon still survives to this day. When the United States Land Commission reviewed the boundaries of the ranchos in the 1850s, the surveyors reduced the boundary of the rancho to 62,500 acres (Brigandi 2019a).

In 1869 the Yorba family sold 74 acres of the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana to William Spurgeon, who established the new town site of Santa Ana (Deal 2021). In 1868 the Rancho Santiago De Santa Ana was broken up and divided among the heirs of the Yorba and Peralta families. The partition of the rancho and the selling of its land by the heirs initiated a surge of development in the area (Brigandi 2019b). Spurgeon came from central California to found a new town along with his business partner Ward Bradford, who was more interested in the investment than development and sold his shares after six months. Spurgeon laid out his town site and built himself a combination home and store.

In 1870 he applied for a post office under the name Santa Ana. Spurgeon won the name over an existing community to the north, which is now known as Olive, and was appointed its first postmaster. Spurgeon was also instrumental in lobbying the railroad to come to Santa Ana.

In 1877 Spurgeon and a group of local Santa Ana investors raised 10,000 dollars and 90 acres of land on the east side of town to encourage the Western Development Company, which was the real estate branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to come to Santa Ana. The lots were small, and the east–west streets ran parallel to the railroad, which put them at an odd angle to the layout of the original township. As a result, the town’s established business owners were reluctant to move their shops closer to the railroad depot (Brigandi 2019c).

The City of Santa Ana was incorporated in 1886 (City of Santa Ana 2021). One year later, Orange County was separated from Los Angeles County, and the City of Santa Ana was chosen to be the County Seat over Anaheim, whose residents had been at the head of the lobby to secede from Los Angeles County (Masters 2013 ).

Many buildings in the Santa Ana downtown area and surrounding bungalows were built in the early 1900s and 1920s to meet the needs of this mixed demographic, and the boardinghouse became a common property type for working class citizens seeking housing above commercial shops and office spaces. By 1906, the opening of the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car established a suburban route from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and by 1910 Santa Ana had gradually grown in population to 8,429 people, making it the largest city in Orange County at the time (Marsh 1994).

Residential subdivisions in communities outside of the historic core expanded significantly during the 1910s and 1920s, including the construction of small- to medium-sized craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival style houses.

More than half of the Pico-Lowell district to the southwest of downtown had been subdivided into residential parcels by 1912. The 1910s also saw an expansion in manufacturing and industry, indicating Santa Ana's economic strength (Marsh 1994).

Santa Ana had created a solid economy centered on agriculture, manufacturing, and retail by the 1920s. This corresponded with Orange County's dramatic population expansion, with much of that increase concentrating in Santa Ana as it tried to acquire most of the region to the west of Orange County; as a result, Santa Ana became Orange County’s commercial hub. Santa Ana increased from 16,000 people in 1920 to 30,000 people by 1929, due in State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

part to the construction of interurban rail networks and the popularity of automobiles in the 1920s. Through the 1930s, Santa Ana's downtown business core witnessed success and expansion as many of its brick structures along Fourth Street were renovated with classical and contemporary elements (Marsh 1994).

Most growth in the early 1940s and throughout World War II featured four area military bases, including the Santa Ana Army Air Base and the West Coast Air Corps Training Center, both of which were constructed to help the war effort. The Santa Ana Army Air Base operated as a basic training camp with no airplanes, hangars, or runways, while the training facility on 8th Street in downtown served airmen throughout the war (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Following World War II, Santa Ana experienced the increased suburbanization typical of Orange County at the time, as servicemen returned from the war and demand for homes in southern California increased, launching an unprecedented period of growth and industrial expansion that would significantly alter the once-expansive agricultural, open ranch landscape. Santa Ana’s population of 31,921 people in 1940 increased to 45,533 by 1950.

This inflow of new inhabitants and immigrants would last for the next 40 years (Marsh 1994).

The postwar housing boom accelerated change in the character of neighborhoods during the 1950s and 1960s, as demolition and new construction increased in neighborhoods such as the Santa Ana Triangle neighborhood to the northeast of the City Center and the Riverview West neighborhood to the northwest of the City Center. The 1950s were particularly notable for the expansion of the car industry following the end of wartime gasoline rationing. The Fashion Square Mall was built in 1959 close to the Bullock's Department Store to the north of downtown, and changing social and economic trends contributed to the suburbanization of retail districts. Santa Ana's population was 156,359 in 1950 and had increased to 203,714 by 1980. This flood of new people was caused in part by altering postwar immigration regulations, especially those that engendered the influx of Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Downtown commercial deterioration was prevalent from the early 1960s until the late 1970s. This sparked a historic preservation movement whose proponents aimed to preserve the historic integrity of structures or promote change through reversible improvements. During the 1960s and 1980s, some historic properties in the French Park and Heninger Park neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with high- density multi-family properties, coinciding with the 1970s effort to establish the French Park neighborhood as the Santa Ana’s first local historic district in 1984 and the Heninger Park neighborhood as the second in 1986 through the creation of Specific Development zoning districts. The Downtown Santa Ana Historic District was added to the National Register in 1984, and the French Park Historic District was added in 1999. In 1998, the Santa Ana City Council passed the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, which established the City's local inventory of historical resources, the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, and the Historic Resources Commission to oversee the City of Satna Ana’s Historic Preservation Program (City of Santa Ana 2020).

Historic Roads Context
North Fairview Street is associated with the historic roads context. During the second half of the 19th century, a period of rapid railroad development in the United States, public roads in California and other western states became neglected and degraded. By 1900, “the nation with the greatest railway system in the world had the worst roads” (Johnson 1990). Interest in road building revived around the turn of the century when farmers and ranchers, many disillusioned with high railroad rates, began asking county officials for better surface roads. They were joined by millions of bicyclists who called for smoother roads in town and in the countryside. Joining forces, farmers, ranchers, and bicyclists organized local, state, and national “good roads” campaigns. In response, the federal government established the Office of Road Inquiry in the Department of Agriculture to study new road building techniques (Jackson 1998).

Dusty during summer months and muddy during the winter and spring, unpaved roads played havoc with wagons, carriages, and bicycles. Plank roads made from lumber first appeared in California during the 1850s. Gravel roads and macadam, a form of compacted gravel coated with oil, came into use during the late 19th century. Finally, after 1900, concrete roads topped by a mixture of bitumen, aggregate, and sand called asphalt became the standard modern road surface. Durable, smooth, and impervious to water, asphalt withstood winter weather, reduced vehicular wear and tear, and better facilitated drainage (Kostof 1992).

During the 19th century Americans built new towns and cities along rivers, canals, wagon roads, railroads, and highways. Most new towns and cities began with plats for rectilinear street grids filed at a county recorder’s offices.

Once the plat filed, its streets and building lots became legal entities on the land. By creating right-angled streets and alleys, street grids simplified the work of staking out rectangular property boundaries and describing lots in written deeds. For growing towns and cities, street grids also simplified growth, as developers on the edge of town platted new additions simply by extending straight streets into surrounding rural areas (Reps 1965).

As they matured and grew during the 19th and 20th centuries, many American cities and towns became incorporated under state charters. Incorporation transferred responsibility for street maintenance from county boards of supervisors to city governments. Incorporation also allowed city leaders to issue bonds and take on debt, which they used to finance modern street improvements such as paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetcar rails, and sanitation features such as sewers, storm drains, and water mains, which engineers typically buried beneath city streets (Monkkonen 1988).

After 1910, as automobile usage surged, and as suburbanization occurred on the edges of town and cities in California and elsewhere, city planners began articulating a hierarchy of streets to distinguish residential roads, collector roads, arterial roads, and highways, each handling progressively higher volumes of traffic. Through the remainder of the twentieth century, as commercial and residential growth supplanted farms and ranches on the edges of California towns and cities, many rural county roads became adapted to suit the new suburban landscape. In many places, older two-lane rural roads became two- and four-lane suburban arterial streets lined with shopping centers and parking lots; others became two-lane collector streets lined with new residential subdivisions.

In 1936, the FHA, a New Deal program designed to boost mortgage lending in the United States, developed design standards for new suburban residential streets. FHA standards called for quieter streets with T-intersections, cul-de- sacs, and curvilinear patterns in an effort to slow traffic. With few exceptions, homebuilders in California and other western states after 1940 adhered to FHA standards; homebuilders also eliminated alleys behind residential properties in favor driveways leading to street-facing garages (Kostof 1991). After 1960, homebuilders also began creating large master planned suburban developments featuring winding arterial parkways deliberately separated from residential zones to permit higher speeds.

Evaluation
North Fairview Street does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the NRHP or CRHR, or the City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, either individually or as part of an existing historic district, as demonstrated below.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion A/1
North Fairview Street originally provided access to citrus groves located between West 17th Street and Garden Grove Boulevard; the citrus groves have since been removed and replaced by suburban single-family housing starting in the 1950s. Regardless, archival records did not show an association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Santa Ana’s history. North Fairview Street did not, on its own, shape patterns of development in Santa Ana. Therefore, North Fairview Street is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion A/1.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion B/2
To be eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2, the subject road would need to be directly associated with a person considered historically significant at the local, state, or national level. City of Santa Ana crews built and maintained North Fairview Street. ECORP did not identify any additional individuals associated with the road while conducting the research for this Project. There is no information in the archival record to suggest that it is associated with the lives of persons significant in Santa Ana’s past. Therefore, North Fairview Street is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion B/2.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion C/3
As a conventional five-lane road that is indistinguishable from multiple similar roads in Santa Ana, North Fairview Street was not the first or last of its type to be developed in Santa Ana and lacks unique design features. It does not State of California  The Resources Agency Primary #

embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Therefore, North Fairview Street is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion C/3.

NRHP/CRHR Criterion D/4
The information potential of North Fairview Street is expressed in its built form, alignment, and in the historical record.

It has not yielded, nor is it likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory. Therefore, North Fairview Street is not eligible for the NRHP/CRHR under Criterion D/4.

Integrity
North Fairview Street possesses integrity of location and design but lacks integrity of setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. It was converted from a two-lane road to a five lane road in the c. 1970s. North Fairview Street is no longer situated in a semi-rural setting and is instead surrounded by residential homes in a suburban setting. North Fairview Street does not convey the aesthetic of a late-19th-century road in Santa Ana that provided access between West 17th Street to Garden Grove Boulevard in a small and sparsely populated town.

Regardless of integrity, due to lack of significance, North Fairview Street does not meet NRHP/CRHR eligibility criteria as an individual resource or as part of any known or suspected historic district; the resource is not listed on any Certified Local Government historic property register.

City of Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties
(1) Buildings, structures or objects with distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, that exemplify a particular architectural style or design features; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, North Fairview Street represents a typical example of a conventional five-lane road and is indistinguishable from multiple similar roads in Santa Ana. It does not contain distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period that exemplify a particular style or design features. It is a common five-lane road paved with asphalt.
(2) Works of notable architects, builders, or designers whose style influenced architectural development; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, the commonplace design of North Fairview Street suggests that it was not the work of a master architect or builder.
(3) Rare buildings, structures, or objects or original designs; North Fairview Street represents a typical example of a suburban five-lane road paved with asphalt, which is present throughout the Santa Ana.
(4) Buildings, structures, objects or sites of historical significance which include places:
a. Where important events occurred;
As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, North Fairview Street was not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of history. b. Associated with famous people, original settlers, renowned organizations and businesses; As stated above in the NRHP/CRHR evaluation, archival research failed to indicate any associations with any significant persons and the road.
c. Which were originally present when the city was founded; or The road was not present when Santa Ana was founded.
d. That served as important centers for political, social, economic, or cultural activity.

Re: Fairview Street Widening Project, Orange County

To Whom It May Concern:

A record search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) was completed for the information you have submitted for the above referenced project. The results were negative. However, the absence of specific site information in the SLF does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites.

Attached is a list of Native American tribes who may also have knowledge of cultural resources in the project area. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed project area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated; if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consult with the appropriate tribe. If a response has not been received within two weeks of notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call or email to ensure that the project information has been received.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify me. With your assistance, we can assure that our lists contain current information.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at my email address: [email protected].

Sincerely,

Andrew Green
