Analysis of the Issues

Historical Listing

In March 1999, the City C ouncil approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by reso lution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, objec t, 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. T he first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.

The structure identified meet s the selection criteria fo r inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the SAMC, as the structure is 63 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The M.I. Thomson House is architecturally si gnificant as an intact example of a Ranch- style house in Santa Ana. The original bu ilding permit indicates the property was constructed in 1963 as a residence and atta ched garage at a cost of $40,000. Mary I.

Thomson purchased the subject parcel from developer Emmet C. Rogers circa 1963, and contractor Frank M. Rogers completed th e residence in September 1963. Deed documents show that following Thomson's ownership of the property, it was acquired by a series of owners including David Reich (date of acquisition undetermined), Dina Jackson Roseler (1987), John Devine (1987), and Steven N. and Patricia D. Atkinson. In 2025, the property came under the legal contro l of Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty as trustees for Patricia Atkinson. Rese arch, including a review of documents on Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com did not identi fy information of consequence of the property's current or former owners.

flanked by three-pane side lights situated above wood-panel wainscoting. The floor of the porch is surfaced with brick, while the porch ceiling featur es wood-plank cladding. Low brick planters extend left and right from the entrance; th e planter on the right is incorporated into the brick external chimney. Windows on the main elevation are generally wood-sash multi-pane units in fixed and hung co nfigurations, including a hexagonal bay window looking over the porch. Located at the south end of the main exterior, the gabled wing houses the attached two-car garage, accessed by a non-original roll-up garage door.

Secondary facades generally feature stucco walls punctuated by wood sash windows in multiple configurations, including multi- pane hung wood units similar to those on the primary façade, and a few fixed or awning type windows located on the south façade. At the rear (west) façade the main roof is crossed with gable -on-hip extensions, forming a shallow court. Just off the court, the recessed rear patio is covered by an extension of the roof. Secondary entrances are located adjacent to the patio and feature original and non- original solid, glazed, and louvered doors. Landscaping includes front and back lawns, mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.

Character-defining features of the house’s original Ranch-style construction include, but are not limited to, its wing-and-gable main (south) façade composition; wood shake roof cladding, horizontal lap wood, brick, and stucco siding; principally gable-on-hip roof form; closed eaves; wood-sash windows in multiple configurations; recessed front and back porches; and brick planters and in tegrated brick external chim ney. The M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).

Mills Act Agreement

Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Histori c Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreement s (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 th e local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the prop erty 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 c haracter and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the ow ner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:

Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restor ation of damaged characte r-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon c onsideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to enable the Mills Act.

Prehistoric Historic Both

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional

Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post-World War II residential expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch House originated in the 1930s designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the West’s vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist’s concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor-outdoor integration. While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character-defining features applies to most examples. In form and massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying roof heights. Generally L- shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in desig n, the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board-and-batten siding, high brick foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor-outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond-patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove cotes and bird houses.

SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:

The M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it is a good example of the 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)

Located on a mid-block parcel in the West Floral Park neighborhood, the M.I. Thomson House consists of a one-story, single- family residence and attached garage constructed in the Ranch style (Figure 1) . The parcel is bounded on the east by Westwood Avenue and on the north, south, and west by private property. The one story residence has an irregular plan and a concrete foundation. Its complex roof is principally gable-on-hip, crossed with gabled and gable-on-hip roof sections. The roof is clad in wood shakes and generally has broad, closed eaves. Exterior walls sheathed in lap wood, stucco, and, to a limited degree, brick veneer. Facing Westwood Avenue to the east, the asymmetrical main façade is characterized by a wing-and- gable form and a broad recessed porch sheltered by an extension of the roof (Figure 2). Brick-lined straight steps lead to the wood-panel front door, which is flanked by three-pane side lights situated above wood-panel wainscoting. The floor of the porch is surfaced with brick, while the porch ceiling features wood-plank cladding. Low brick planters extend left and right from the entrance; the planter on the right is incorporated into the brick external chimney (Figure 3). Windows on the main elevation are generally wood-sash multi-pane units in fixed and hung configurations, including a hexagonal bay window looking over the porch (Figures 4 and 5). Located at the south end of the main exterior, the gabled wing houses the attached two-car garage, accessed by a non-original roll-up garage door. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 6.) *P3b.

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1963 Property Type: Single-family residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The M.I. Thomson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Ranch-style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit indicates the property was constructed in 1963 as a residence and attached garage at a cost of $40,000.00.

Mary I. Thomson purchased the subject parcel from developer Emmet C. Rogers circa 1963, and contractor Frank M. Rogers completed the residence in September 1963. Deed documents show that following Thomson's ownership of the property, it was acquired by a series of owners including David Reich (date of acquisition undetermined), Dina Jackson Roseler (1987), John Devine (1987), and Steven N. and Patricia D. Atkinson (1988; Anonymous 1963, 1987a, 1987b, 2025, Rogers 1963, Ward 1988). In 2025, the property came under the legal control of Michael Atkinson and Steve Doughty as trustees for Patricia Atkinson. Research, including a review of documents on Ancestry.com and Newspapers.com did not identify information of consequence of the property's current or former owners (See Continuation Sheet 3).

*P3a. Description (continued):

Secondary facades generally feature stucco walls punctuated by wood sash windows in multiple configurations, including multi-pane hung wood units (Figure 6) similar to those on the primary façade, and a few fixed or awning type windows located on the south façade (Figure 7) . At the rear (west) façade the main roof is crossed with gable-on-hip extensions (Figure 8), forming a shallow court. Just off the court, the recessed rear patio (Figure 9) is covered by an extension of the roof. Secondary entrances are located adjacent to the patio and feature original and non-original solid, glazed, and louvered doors.

Landscaping includes front and back lawns, mature trees, and flowering and non-flowering shrubs.

*B10. Significance (continued):

Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative town site on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. The civic and commercial core of the community was centered around the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets. Stimulated by the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad and incorporation as a city in 1886, and selection as the seat of the newly created County of Orange in 1889, the city grew outwards, with residential neighborhoods developing to the north, south, and east of the city center. Agricultural uses predominated in the outlying areas, with cultivated fields and orchards dotted with widely scattered farmhouses.

Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the M.I. Thomson House is located has been known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time , the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and 1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315 North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950, around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.

The M.I. Thomson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Ranch-style home in Santa Ana. Located in West Floral Park, the house was constructed in 1963. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of its neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3). Character-defining features of the house’s original Ranch-style construction include, but are not necessarily limited to, its wing-and-gable main (south) façade composition; wood shake roof cladding, horizontal lap wood, brick, and stucco siding; principally gable-on-hip roof form; closed eaves; wood-sash windows in multiple configurations; recessed front and back porches; and brick planters and integrated brick external chimney.

Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.

Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:

1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal altera tion of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.

2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.

3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.

4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.

These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.

5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.

6. Deteriorated architectural features sha ll be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event repl acement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or re placement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rath er than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or structures.

7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.

8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.

9. Contemporary design for alterations and a dditions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with
