Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low -pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama- California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry; balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)).

The Worswick House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated January 1923 and indicates it was built as a residence and garage, at a cost of $ 4,000. The original architect , builder, and owner was A. H. Worswick , who is listed on the original building permit as the owner, and noted in newspaper advertisements as the property's designer and builder. A 1923 newspaper advertisement titled, "Beautiful New Spanish Bungalow ," states, "This most attractive home is stuccoed with everlasting magnesite, the most approved exterior plaster. Two large porches have cement tile floors to match roofing tile…This is a truly artistic home, designed for comfort and convenience, built with care and convenience--and charmingly located" (The Register, May 3, 1923). Orange County Archives (OCA) reveal that the Worswick family generally owned the property until 1928, despite some short -lived lot transactions between the Worswicks and McFaddens.

In 1927, city directories list H W Sweasy as the primary occupant and OCA note Mrs. Mason Yould also lived there that same year and through 1929. In 1928, the Worswicks sold to Ruth Marr Gay. In 1930, C E Terry is listed as another occupant in City Directories. In 1933, the tenant is noted as C I Reagan in city directories and as Donald Wolfe Massie in the OCA. From circa 1935 - 1937, E B Kru ger resided at the property. In 1939, G ay sold the property to Jennie U. and Bert C. Lowen.

Burman that same year. The B urmans continued to make several land transactions amongst various Burman family members in 1943. According to OCA, in 1944 Harry Burman sold his company “A -1 Cleaners and Laundry” to his wife A nn Burman and her two brothers. At the time, A -1 Cleaners had four downtown Santa Ana locations and a production plant at Stafford and Santiago. Following the sale, Harry Burman purchased from Robert Ramsey the Dixie Castle nightclub, which was located the n on Highway 101 (today known as the I -5 Freeway). In 1945, Mrs. Ann Burman is noted as the property owner in city directories . In 1945, Ann Burman and M ichael Gole (partial interest owner) sold to Fred N. and Hazel R. Warren. Fred W arren, wallpaper hanger , resided at the subject property through 1947. The W arrens sold the property in 1947 to Oscar and Clara Stevens. Oscar Steven is noted as the property owner through 1968. Building occupants included Archie M. Monson, in 1959, and John J. Strizel in 1967. S tevens died in 1968 and the lot was purchased by Jean Nossum in 1972. In 1975, Nossum sold to Curtis J. and Barbara S.

One year later, Marchman sold to Paul A. Pereira and Deborah L. Poole. The house went into default and by 1995, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. sold to Alan Lee, who then sold the property to an investment company in 1998. In 1998, Ramiro and Olga Vernonica Tavares owned the property and from 1999-2003 it was owned by Raul Ramirez (later jointly owned with Michael Davis) . In 200 3, Deborah Ann Capalety purchased the property (later known as the Robert and Deborah Ann Capalety Trust) , who remained the owner until 2022, when it was purchased by current owners Robert James and Alma Cristina Manson. No other information was uncovered.
The Worswick House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross -McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only a s far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed.

The Worswick House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $4,000 to build in 1923. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Mu nicipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)). Character-defining features of the Spanish Revival style exhibited by the house include its square- shaped plan; asymmetrical façade; parapet roof clad in clay tile coping that wraps around the entire building, concealing t he flat, built-up roof; roof with no extended eaves; smooth, 30/30 sand stucco finish; primary (west) façade divided into four bays; Palladian wood window with wrought iron balconet at primary façade; arched partially enclosed patio with the building’s main entrance; main entrance door is composed of a single, wood paneled door; two multilight casement wood windows with a prominent wood sill at the primary façade; remaining fenestration including wood-frame, multi -light windows and doors with window operation consisting of casement, hung, and awning types; hung- style windows throughout the residence primarily with a four-over-one style muntin pattern; one-car, detached garage; arched decorative alter below the primary front -facing gable at the primary (west) façade; stucco-clad chimney; Hollywood driveay, and front yard lawn and landscaping.
