Topic: HRCA No. 2024-10, HRC No. 2025-07, HPPA No. 2025-09 – The R. Miller House (1412 N. Louise Street)

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

1. Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2024- 10 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2025-07; and

2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Ricardo Diaz and Rebeca Diaz, Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants, for the property located at 1412 N. Louise Street, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ricardo and Rebeca Diaz are requesting approval to designate an existing Tudor Revival- style residence located at 1412 N. Louise Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. The property qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style house. It is also worthy of “Contributive” categorization as it contributes to the history and character of its neighborhood as an example of the Tudor Revival style, including, but not limited to, its asymmetrical primary façade, cross -gabled roof, moderately rough stucco siding, and wood-sash windows in various configurations.

DISCUSSION

Analysis of the Issues

Historical Listing

In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30- 2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the SAMC (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.

The structure identified meets the selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 93 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The R. Miller House is architecturally significant as an example of a Tudor Revival -style house. The original building permit is dated March 9, 1932, and indicates the residence and garage were constructed by A.H. McClary for $4,000. The original permit did not include the original owner; however, a 1932 The Register article listed A.H. McClary as the owner of the property and Jasper Farney as the contractor (The Register 1932).

Available evidence did not confirm McClary lived on the property. Farney was a contractor and real estate investor from the 1920s to the 1950s. He started as part of Honer, Herzig and Farney during the 1920s to 1930s but formed his own company in the 1940s to 1950s (The Register 1928a, Ancestry.com 2017). Farney designed and constructed single - family residences in the Tudor Revival style such as 1210 S. Van Ness Avenue and 1137 S. Garnsey Street (The Register 1928b).

In 1939, a second permit indicates owner, Robert Miller, hired contactor, William Rohrbacher, to construct a new chimney for $145. Robert A. Miller and his wife Eda and their son Ronald lived at the property from 1935 to circa 1956 (Press -Telegram 1935, Ancestry. com 2011). Born in 1904 in Illinois, Miller was a real estate agent in Orange County from the 1940s into the 1960s (Ancestry.com 2022, The Register 1945 and 1965).

Eda Miller was born in 1906 in Sweden (Ancestry.com 2022).

Though a name is not listed on the building permit, Mr. Miller likely constructed a recreation room in 1942 for $275. A newspaper article from 1946 listed Mrs. Everett Hunter as living at 1412 N. Louise Street, though the Miller family lived at the property during this period (The Register 1946). Mrs. Everett was either a family friend or relative, or the newspaper made a mistake. In 1959, The Register listed a sale advertisement for HRCA No. 2024-10, HRC No. 2025-07, and HPPA No. 2025- 09 – The R. Miller House (1412 N. Louise Street)
September 23, 2025

the property, and 1412 N . Louise Street was not listed in the 1960 Santa Ana City Directory (The Register 1959, Ancestry.com 2011).

From 1962 to 1966, Robert T. Bailey and his wife Phyllida C. Bailey, lived at the property; however, no additional information was identified on the couple (The Register 1962, Ancestry.com 2017). Dated March 23, 1978, owner John Mullins filed for a permit to construct a 360-square-foot addition to the garage for $2500. Mullins lived on the property until circa 2002 (Ancestry.com 2005).

The R. Miller House is a single- family residence built in the Tudor Revival style. The residence is characterized by an irregular plan and a complex cross -gabled and flat roof with shingle cladding. The eaves generally have no overhang, but in select locations they are moderate with exposed rafter tails. The building’s exterior is sheathed in moderately rough stucco with false half-timbering at the façade gables. The primary (east) façade is characterized by an asymmetrical composition, consisting of two short gabled wings, flanking a recessed front porch. At the north end of the porch, the south- facing main entrance features a solid wood door and a period door knocker and other hardware. A carved beam supports the outer edge of the porch roof . Windows on the primary façade are historical and generally are of wood, multi -pane construction. The sole exception is the single-pane focal window situated in a pentagonal opening and framed with a molded surround evocative of stonework . The secondary and rear elevations feature stucco cladding and a combination of double-hung wood-sash windows on the original portion of the building and horizontally sliding wood-sash windows on the rear addition. A secondary entrance is located on the south elevation; the door there is accessed via a short set of straight concrete steps and sheltered by a pent porch roof with wood brace supports.

The detached garage is located southwest of the residence. It has a rectangular plan, gabled roof with asphalt shingle cladding, and stucco siding throughout. On the east façade, the glazed metal garage door faces a concrete driveway, which leads to east North Louise Street. On the north elevation there is a non-original suspended garage door and horizontally sliding aluminum framed window. The front yard is landscaped with a lawn and mature trees and shrubs. Low hedge rows trace the eastern property line and areas bordering the driveway and front porch. A knee -height brick wall delineates the property’s western boundary.

Character-defining features of the R. Miller House include: L- shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façade; cross -gabled and flat roof with m oderate to high- pitch; minimal roof overhang; gable vents, moderately rough stucco siding and false timbering; external brick chimney; multi -pane, wood- sash windows; single- pane focal window situated in a pentagonal opening and framed with a molded surround evocative of stonework; tripartite focal window with central fixed pane and flanking multi -pane wood sashes; recessed, diamond-glazed window located adjacent to the front entrance and to the focal window; main entrance set within in a small gable and acc essible by two curved concrete steps; and detached garage.

The R. Miller House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival-style residence in Santa Ana.

The recommended categorization is Contributive because it is a good example of the Tudor Revival style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of the neighborhood (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Mills Act Agreement

Ordinance No. NS -2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement prov ides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:

• Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation
• Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discouraging inappropriate alterations to the property

The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached Work Plan.

Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: new roof and general maintenance. Staff suggests adding the following items to the Work Plan: 1) address discoloration on planter wall adjacent to the primary façade; 2) assess condition of paint and stucco and repair as necessary, subject to staff approval; 3) replace non-compatible window and door on north side of detached garage, subject to staff approval; 4) assess condition of roofing, eaves, fascia, exposed rafter tails, and rain gutters throughout the residence and repair and replace in-kind, as necessary, subject to staff approval; and 5) assess all historic windows and window framing and repaint, repair, or replace in-kind, as necessary. Window repair and replacement is subject to staff approval . Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character- defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.

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

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character -defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, i t is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to enable the Mills Act.

Prehistoric Historic Both

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival

The Tudor Revival looked to medieva l England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood fra me is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The R. Miller House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of Tudor Revival -style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “ Contributive” because it is a good example of the Tudor Revival style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood. (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)

The R. Miller House is a single-family residence built in the Tudor Revival style (Figure 1). The residence is characterized by an irregular plan and a complex cross-gabled and flat roof with shingle cladding. The eaves have no overhang, except at the rear addition, where they are moderate with exposed rafter tails. The building’s exterior is sheathed in moderately rough stucco with false half -timbering at the façade gables . The primary (east) façade is characterized by an asymmetrical composition, consisting of two short gabled wings, flanking a recessed front porch. At the north end of the porch, the south - facing main entrance features a solid wood door and a period door knocker and other hardware. A carved beam supports the outer edge of the porch roof (Figure 2) . Windows on the primary façade are historical and generally are of wood, multi-pane construction. The sole exception is the single -pane focal window situated in a pentagonal opening and framed with a molded surround evocative of stonework (Figure 3). The secondary and rear elevations (Figure 4) feature stucco cladding and a combination of double-hung wood-sash windows (Figure 5) on the original portion of the building and horizontally sliding wood-sash windows on the rear addition (Figure 6). A secondary entrance is located on the south elevation; the door there is accessed via a short set of straight concrete steps and sheltered by a pent porch roof with wood brace supports (Figure 7).

The R. Miller House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival -style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit is dated March 9, 1932, and indicates the residence and garage were constructed by A.H. McClary for $4,000. The original permit did not include the original owner; however, a 1932 The Register article listed A.H. McClary as the owner of the property and Jasper Farney as the contractor (The Register 1932). Available evidence did not confirm McClary lived on the property. Farney was a contractor and real estate investor from the 1920s to the 1950s. He started as part of Honer, Herzig and Farney during the 1920s to 1930s but formed his own company in the 1940s to 1950s (The Register 1928a, Ancestry.com 2017). Farney designed and constructed single-family residences in the Tudor Revival style such as 1210 South Van Ness Avenue and 1137 South Garnsey Street (The Register 1928b).

The first confirmed owner occupants of the property were Robert A. and Eda Miller and their son Ronald. The mil ler family lived at the property from circa 1935 to circa 1956 ( Press-Telegram 1935, Ancestry. com 2011). The first confirmed owner occupant was Robert In 1939, a second permit indicates owner, Robert Miller, hired contactor, William Rohrbacher, to construct a new chimney for $145. Born in 1904 in Illinois, Miller was a real estate agent in Orange County from the 1940s into the 1960s (Ancestry.com 2022, The Register 1945, 1965). Eda Miller was born in 1906 in Sweden (Ancestry.com 2022) . (See Continuation Sheet 3)

*P3a. Description (continued):

The front yard is landscaped with a lawn and mature trees and shrubs. Low hedge rows trace the eastern property line and areas bordering the driveway and front porch. A knee-height brick wall delineates the property’s western boundary.

*B10. Significance (continued):

Though a name is not listed on the building permit, Mr. Miller likely constructed a recreation room in 1942 for $275. A newspaper article from 1946 listed Mrs. Everett Hunter as living at 1412 North Louise Street, though the Miller family lived at the property during this period (The Register 1946). Mrs. Everett was either a family friend or relative, or the newspaper made a mistake. In 1959, The Register listed a sale advertisement for the property, and 1412 North Louise Street was not listed in the 1960 Santa Ana City Directory (The Register 1959, Ancestry.com 2011).

From 1962 to 1966, Robert T. Bailey and his wife Phyllida C. Bailey , lived at the property; however, no additional information was identified on the couple (The Register 1962, Ancestry.com 2017). Dated March 23, 1978, owner John Mullins filed for a permit to construct a 360 square foot addition to the garage for $2500. Mullins lived on the property until circa 2002 (Ancestry.com 2005).

The R. Miller 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 as 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 R. Miller House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an i ntact example of an Tudor Revival-style residence in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house cost $4, 000 to build in 1932. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it is a good example of the Tudor Revival style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of the neighborhood (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30 -2.3).

Character-defining features of the R. Miller House include: L-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary façade; cross-gabled and flat roof with moderate to high-pitch; minimal roof overhang; gable vents, moderately rough stucco si ding and false timbering; external brick chimney; multi-pane, wood-sash windows ; single-pane focal window situated in a pentagonal opening and framed with a molded surround evocative of stonework; tripartite focal window with central fixed pane and flanking multi-pane wood sashes; recessed, diamond- glazed window located adjacent to the front entrance and to the focal window; main entrance set within in a small gable and accessible by two curved concrete steps; and detached garage.
