COMPLETED CITY OF TUSTIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND
The City Council in late 1988 approved a proposed scope of work
with the firm of Thirtieth Street Architects for preparation of a
Historical Resources Inventory of the City. With two years of hard
work and research completed including many hours of review by the
City's Cultural Resources Advisory Committee, the Community
Development Department is proud to release to the public the
completed documents (attached for the City Council's information).
Included in the document transmittal as a cover to the Historical
Survey Report is a letter signed by members of the Cultural
Resources Advisory Committee. The two reports prepared include a
Summary Report, as well as an addendum report which provides
individual inventory forms describing in more detailthe
appearance, history and significance of certain properties rated
"A" If IIBII I or ACTT.
It is anticipated that the next step of the Community Development
Department's work with the Cultural Resources Committee would be to
review all historical documentation in the survey and determine
which structures merit a recommendation to the City Council as a
"Designated Cultural Resource" or landmark. Under provisions of
the Cultural Resources Overlay District, if the Committee
determines that a structure merits such consideration it must
schedule and notice a public hearing prior to transmitting their
recommendations to the City Council. Once a structure is a
designated Cultural Resource and the City has received its local
Certified Government designation from the State Office of
Historical Preservation, a property owner may utilize the State
Historical Building Code for renovation.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Tustin

Tustin, California 92680
Honorable Council Members:
We are pleased to have been involved in reviewing and participating
in the Tustin Historical Resources Survey. More than two years in
the making, the document presents a permanent record of Tustin's
current historical resources in words and pictures.
Authorized by the City Council in September 1988 after the City
Council adopted the Cultural Resources Overlay District and
Cultural Resources Advisory Committee (CRAC), completion of the
Tustin Historical survey is the last criteria necessary for the
City to submit a request to the State Office of Historical
Preservation for a Local Certified Government Designation.
Although the CRAC is only required by provisions of the Cultural
Resources Overlay District to meet a minimum of four times per
calendar year, the CRAC has met more than thirteen times and spent
numerous hours since September of 1988 in reviewing and discussing
the Cultural Resources Survey. The CRAG has even walked the entire
Cultural Resource District to check addressing for structures
identified in the survey. Consequently, we feel confident that
information included in the survey is the most accurate and
comprehensive information available and will serve as a resource
for not only property owners in the District but those who are
interested in the City of Tustin's vibrant history.
The survey employs a rating system consistent with the evaluation
criteria used by the State Office of Historic Preservation and the
National Register based on the biographical historical and
architectural significance of a structure, its relative importance
in terms. of other resources in the City and the potential for
national or local designation. However, we as a Committee feel
strongly that the rich nature of the downtown neighborhood is made
up of a variety of homes and styles. A rating of "C" applied to
300 Centennial Way • Tustin, California 92680 • (714) 544-8890

buildings which maintain their original style but are not
architecturally or historically distinctive or a rating of an "A"
is no less important. The contribution of a "C" rated structure is
just as vital as a "A" rated structure. Variety, style and
character all contribute to the outstanding historical resources
that we have in the City.
The unique combination of architectural styles give the City and
the Cultural Resource District its character and charm. The
Committee would also like to note that there are other structures
not included in the survey since these structures were built post
1940. Many of these structures add a very unique quality to the
Cultural Resources District and certainly add to the character of
the area.
With our participation on the Historical Survey completed, the
Cultural Resources Advisory committee have set a number of future
goals and objectives that we would recommend to the City for it's
continuing involvement in issues related to Cultural Resources in
Tustin including the following:
1. Determination and recommendation to the City Council on which
structures within the Historical Survey should be officially
"locally designated Cultural Resources".
2. Review and recommend to the City Council an award program for
significant achievement by a property owner in preserving and
enhancing the City's Cultural Resource District.
3. Completion of a vacant lot survey within the Cultural
Resources District.
4. Act as a resource in reviewing informational guidelines
prepared for property owners interested in renovation of their
homes.
5. * Act as a resource to assist in preparing a Guide to Financial
Resources for preservation or Renovation of Historical
Resources.
6. Explore the feasibility of creating an non-profit organization
as a financial resource for preserving historical structures
that are eminently threatened.
7. Act as a resource in reviewing and as liaison with downtown
residents in preparation of a Downtown Revitalization Plan and
architectural guidelines prepared for renovation of historical
commercial buildings in Old Town.
Honorable Council Members

S. Examine and recommend guidelines for facilitating the
relocation and movement of structures into the Cultural
Resources District.
9. Study the possible recommendations to the City Council to
create an additional Cultural Resources District north of
First Street.
We hope you find the Tustin Historical Survey as interesting and
exciting as we have. Tustin's rich and colorful past can only
serve to give us a very strong background and faith in the future.
Thank you for your support in preserving the City's heritage.
Sincerely,.
The Cultural Resources Advisory Committee

I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
A. Introduction
In June 1988, the Community Development Department of the City of Tustin hired
Thirtieth Street Architects, Inc. to prepare an inventory of historical buildings. The
goal of the survey is to identify the historic and cultural resources of the City of
Tustin in order to provide a basis of information for future planning and
redevelopment activities.
This report describes the survey methodology used for the study and presents the
results of the effort. This report also includes:
1. A summary history of the City to provide a context for the evaluation of
the significance of historic resources;
2. A description of architectural styles characteristically found in Tustin;
3. Identification of historic resources which are significant and worthy of
protection;
4. Recommendations describing possible options for City actions to support
preservation of significant resources; and
5. Appendices including listings of all pre -1940 structures found and a listing
of those resources considered to be significant.
The study also included the preparation of individual inventory forms describing the
appearance, history and significance of each property within the Old Town Cultural
Resources District and additional individual properties of significance. These forms
are included under a separate cover.
B. Preservation in Tustin
The Tustin Historical Society has been studying the City's historic buildings since the
early 1970's. Formed in 1976 as an outgrowth of the nation's bicentennial, the
Tustin Area Historical Society now has nearly 400 members. Historical Society
members are committed to preserving the history of the local area by collecting
memorabilia and photos, and serving as a resource to the City, schools and local
residents on the City's history. The primary ongoing project of the Society is the
Tustin Museum, located on El Camino Real at Main Street. The Society is also
involved in "Tustin Tiller Days". This 3 -day fair and parade, sponsored by the
page 3
Junior Chamber of Commerce and the City of Tustin, is an annual celebration of
Tustin's agricultural history.
Five buildings in Tustin have previously received recognition of their historic
qualities. Three are on the National Register of Historic Places: the Steven's House
(228 W. Main Street) and the two Lighter -Than -Air Hangars on the U.S. Marine
Corps Air Station. Two buildings have been recognized by the Orange County
Historical Commission: The Hewes' House (302 S. A Street) and the First Advent
Christian Church (555 W. Main Street).
Over the last several years significant public concern has been expressed regarding
specific development proposals in "Old Town Tustin". Major issues identified by
residents in this area who had organized into a group called TRUST (Tustin
Residents United to Save Tustin) included their desire to see the character of Old
Town and the existing single family zoning within the area maintained, and historic
resources preserved.
In response to these concerns the Tustin City Council in the Spring of 1987 imposed
a moratorium on the issuance of permits for any subdivision of land, zone change or
land use change in the residential area of Old Town.
With adoption of the moratorium, community workshops were held with property
owners in Old Town. As the City began evaluating major community issues which
surfaced at workshops as well as information compiled from agencies and cities
throughout the state, it became apparent that the most effective tool to maintain and
enhance the character of Old Town would be the creation of a Cultural Resources
Overlay District. The City Council appropriately approved ordinance 1001 on June
20, 1988 adopting a Cultural Resources District.
The purpose of the Cultural Resources District is to provide a framework for
recognizing, preserving, and protecting culturally significant structures, natural
features, sites and neighborhoods within the City of Tustin.
An overlay zoning district is one which is overlaid on an existing zoning designation
for the purpose of recognizing the special character of an area such as Old Town and
providing for a special review or permit process. The underlying zoning remains in
place but the addition of a Cultural Resources District designation would add to
existing zoning requirements.
The District is generally bound by First Street Specific Plan boundaries on the
north, Sixth Street on the south, the 55 Freeway on the west and Prospect Avenue on
the east.
page 4
Current Cultural Resource District boundaries also reflect the following:
a. Inclusion of a major portion of area within the original City of Tustin
jurisdictional boundaries;
b. Inclusion of R-1 and multi -family zoned properties which exhibit unique
architectural character and historical/cultural resources in the Old Town area;
c. Inclusion of historic sites as identified by the Tustin Historical Society which are
included on the Tustin Historical Walk;
d. Inclusion of the El Camino Real Commercial District between Sixth Street and
First Street.
The ordinance establishes criteria for use in designating cultural resources and
Cultural Resource Districts and the procedures to be followed in making said
designations. Final action of any designation must be approved by the City Council.
A Certificate of Appropriateness is also required prior to demolition or removal of
improvements or prior to making exterior modifications to a building or site within
a Cultural Resource District or to a Designated Cultural Resource when such
improvements require a City building permit. A five -member Cultural Resources
Advisory Committee has been chosen by the City Council to provide
recommendations on local designation of cultural resources within the community.
This study to identify historic resources in the City is an outgrowth of the adoption
of the Old Town Cultural Resources District. Its purpose is to document the
contributing buildings within Old Town and other significant buildings city-wide.
C. Summary History of the City*
The City of Tustin was established as a real estate venture by a Petaluma carriage
maker, Columbus Tustin. In 1868, Tustin and his partner, Nelson O. Stafford,
purchased 1,359 acres of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana when the Spanish land
grant was being partitioned. Tustin took the eastern 839 acres of the total and
moved to his property in 1870 to build his dream: Tustin City. He divided 100 acres
into 300 square blocks, laid out the streets, and provided 50'x100' lots for sale - later
giving lots to anyone who would build on them.
One of the City's earliest - and later prominent - citizens was C.E. Utt, who came to
the City as a child with his parents in 1874. By his account, the "city" then consisted
of "a small store and a blacksmith shop with a few settlers' shacks hidden around in
page 5
the thickets of wild mustard". Tustin City's slow growth in the 1870's was further .
hampered by Santa Ana's successful bid for the terminus of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, which enticed several Tustin businesses and residents to move there.
Columbus Tustin died in 1883, bitterly disappointed at the minimal success of his
dream city.
The land boom of the 1880's brought a second life to Tustin. The Tustin
Improvement Association established a bank and a large hotel. From 1886 to 18951,
horse-drawn streetcars ("horse car") ran between the Hotel Tustin and Santa Ana.
By 1888, the Southern Pacific Railroad had established a station in Tustin and started
running two trains daily to Los Angeles.
Several prominent pioneers, David Hewes and Sherman Stevens among them, came
to town in this period, building Victorian houses which are still showpieces in town.
Sherman Stevens, together with C.E. Utt and James Irvine, developed the first
agricultural acreage on the Irvine Ranch and established the San Joaquin Fruit
Company. Utt established one of the City's earliest industries, the Utt Juice
Company, and was one of Tustin's major developers. Hewes, who made his fortune
in San Francisco before settling in Tustin, is renowned as the man who conceived the
ceremony and donated the golden spike used to complete the first transcontinental
railroad.
The successes of the 1880's were reversed by the Panic of 1893 which led to the
demise of several businesses in town and closure of the bank (1902). With the new
century came a gradual rebuilding of the economy and the successful additions of the
First National Bank of Tustin (1911), the Tustin Lumber Company, Tustin Garage,
Tustin Hardware, Piepers Feed Store, the Utt Juice Company, and three large citrus
association packing houses.
By 1927, the City was thriving, with a population of 900 persons who voted to
incorporate, electing Byron Crawford as the first mayor. "Big John" Stanton was
the police force, then and for many years (until 1942). Volunteer fire protection
was led by Charles Logan,.Fire Marshall, using Sam Tustin's converted 1912 Buick
as a fire truck. At the incorporation, the City's original boundaries included about
196 acres, shown in Figure 1, and was slightly larger than the area of the Old Town
Cultural Resources District.
In 1942, World War II came home to Tustin when the U.S. Navy built its Lighter -
Than -Air Base on nearby bean fields. Two huge hangars, each longer than three
football fields and as tall as an 18 -story building, were built to house blimps used for
patrolling the coast for submarines. Still used today for helicopter storage and
repair, the Lighter -Than -Air hangars were listed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1978.
page 6
By the 1960's, Tustin's days as a small agricultural community ended. Rising land
values and falling grove production induced orchardists to sell their land to
developers. As a result of new development and annexations, the City's population
jumped from 2,000 in 1960 to 21,000 in 1970 and reached over 43,000 in 1987.
The recent annexation of 2,000 acres of Irvine Company land, called Tustin Ranch,
is projected to add another 20,000 to 25,000 persons to the City's population in the
next decade and brings the City's area to 7,100 acres.

H. SURVEY METHODOLOGY
A. Overview of Survey Approach
The methodology developed for the survey of historic resources has the following
objectives: 1) to provide a comprehensive data base on all resources; 2) to maximize
the research effort on those structures or sites found to be of historic importance;
and 3) to provide a basis for evaluating the historic structures and recommending
programs for preservation.
In order to accomplish the objectives, the survey effort was carefully organized
prior to the initiation of any survey work. The four primary aspects of the survey
methodology are summarized below:
1. Building Survey
A complete survey,of resources was conducted to identify potential resources and to
categorize these in terms of possible significance. The consultants drove the entire
City and examined each building to record the location and architectural styles of
buildings constructed prior to 1940. Photographs were taken of those buildings
which were considered to be potentially significant.
2. Architectural Rating
Based on the review of architectural style in the initial building survey, each
building was given a preliminary rating based on its possible architectural/historical
importance. This rating system is described in Section IIB.
3. Field Survey and Research
Survey procedures were established to identify methods of recording information
during the field survey and methods to tailor records research efforts. A further
description of these procedures is provided in Section HC.
4. Evaluation
Following the building survey and research, the potentially significant structures
were evaluated and given a final rating. The categories used in the final rating are
described in Section IID.
page 9
B. Description of the Preliminary Rating System
In conducting the building survey the consultant staff drove through the entire city
on a street -by -street basis and examined each structure. Specific notes were made on
the architectural styles, extent of alteration and estimated date of construction for
each building which appeared to be constructed prior to 1940. Based on this initial
review, each structure *(or group of related structures) was assigned to one of four
categories (A through D), as described below:
•"A" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are obvious examples
of historically significant or notable structures indicated by distinctive
architectural characteristics or age. Occasionally, the structure's relationship
to patterns of local history is evident (such as an early church) and would be
included even if the architectural design was not significant. Many of these
buildings are already listed (the Steven's House) or are potential candidates
for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places and research
is likely to reveal a connection with important persons or events.
-"B" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are somewhat less
unusual or distinctive in terms of age or architecture. In general, however,
these are well designed buildings which research may prove to have a
relationship to important events or persons in history. Many of these
buildings are likely to have local significance and some of these buildings may
also be candidates for the National Register, depending on the results of
research.
•"C" Buildings - This category includes pre -1940 buildings which reveal
much of their original architectural style (not substantially altered). These
buildings are fairly modest in architectural style or design and are less likely
to have historical importance. Most of these buildings are good candidates as
contributing structures in an historic district.
•"D" Buildings - This category includes pre -1940 buildings which are
clearly not significant in terms of architectural style or have been
substantially altered from the original style. While information from other
general research could indicate a link between some of these buildings and
important persons or events in local history, the modest nature of the building
makes this connection fairly unlikely. Buildings in this category which can be
restored may contribute to an historic district. Buildings which have been
very severely altered and are unlikely to be restorable are not included in the
listing.
page 10
A copy of the complete field survey list, which is attached as Appendix A, indicates
all buildings evaluated through this process listed by street address. The initial
rating has been replaced by a final rating, as described in Section IID. The buildings
which are individually significant, or are included in the Old Town District are
listed in Appendix A.
C. Field Survey and Research Procedures
The survey work for Tustin is based on the guidelines set forth by the State Historic
Resources Inventory, "Survey Workbook" (revised March 1984). The two primary
elements of the survey work performed are field work and research. For both
elements, the initial windshield survey served as a guide to focusing the work, as
described below.
1. Field Work
The field work effort involved preparing architectural descriptions, historical
descriptions, and statements of significance as required for completing sections #7
and #19 of the State Historic Resources Inventory Form (DPR 523, Rev. 4-79). The
text items were prepared for all "A" and "B" rated structures and those "C rated
structures which are located within the Old Town Cultural Resources District.
Photographs were taken of those buildings for which descriptions were prepared.
The architectural description was based on a review of local styles and the
Architectural Supplement contained in the State's "Survey Workbook". Should the
City or private individuals wish to submit an Historic Resource Inventory Form to
the State for any given building, the remaining items of information can be
completed utilizing a records review as further detailed in section III.C. The
information required includes parcel number, present owner, owner's address,
property size and a locational sketch map. A copy of the State form (DPR 523) is
included as Appendix C.
2. Research
In order to maximize the research results, efforts were focused on structures or sites
of historic importance, particularly the "A" and "B" rated buildings. Research was
also conducted on the "C" rated structures located within the Old Town Cultural
Resources District.
page 11
_ City permit records were reviewed for many of these buildings. Permit records
typically can provide: 1) original construction date; 2) original owner and use; 3)
subsequent alterations; and 4) subsequent owners or usages which may have been
long term or otherwise notable. However, because the City was not incorporated
until 1927 and did not keep its own permit records until much later, these records
were of minimal value.
Because of the limited value of City permit records, the consultant effort focused on
other sources. The resources found to be most useful for Tustin included original
title records, various City and County directories and an extensive series of personal
interviews with long-time residents. These and additional sources are listed in
Appendix D. For additional research, the consultants were fortunate to have the
able assistance of two historians: 1) Ms. Carol Jordan, a member of the Tustin Area
Historical Society and Historian for the Tustin Area Museum; and 2) Ms. Diann
Marsh, local historical consultant.
D. Evaluation
Following the site reviews, historical research and preparation of architectural
descriptions, each building was again evaluated for architectural and historical
significance. The criteria used in this study for evaluating the significance of
historic resources is the same as that used by the State Office of Historic
Preservation which is, in turn, based on National Register criteria. These are
reprinted below:
National Register Criteria for Evaluation: The quality of significance in
American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is
present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects of State and local
importance that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association, and
(a) That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad patterns of our history [historical significance;] or
(b) That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past
[biographical signiflcance]; or
(c) That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction, or that represent. the work of a master, or that possess high
artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose
components may lack individual distinction [architectural significance]; or
page 12
(d) That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in
prehistory or history [archaeological significance].
Integrity is a key concept in eligibility for the National Register, or any other
recognition for historic significance. As used in the criteria, "integrity" means that
the building must remain substantially as it was at the time it gained significance.
Thus, each of the following five elements must reflect that earlier period:
1. Location - generally a building must be on its original site.
2. Design - the property should have undergone only alterations that are easily
reversible or have alterations only in less visible areas than the main facade. If
changes are evident, these should be representative of the evolution of the building.
3. Setting - the surrounding environment should remain intact.
4. Materials and Workmanshiy - repairs or any alterations which have been made
should have used materials compatible with the original design.
5. Feeling and Association - An historic district must maintain an internal
coherence which conveys the sense of time and place of the era in which it gained
significance.
The degree of alterations of each building in the survey is noted as follows:
"F" = Few modifications
"M" = Moderate modifications
"S" = Substantial modifications.
The final evaluation used in this study was based on these criteria, as discussed above
(see the "Survey Workbook" prepared by the State Office of Historic Preservation
for an additional discussion). The results are interpreted into a final A,B,C,D rating
system, generally as described previously. However, the final rating considers
biographical and historical significance as well as architectural significance.
Further, the final rating also evaluates the relative importance of the building in
terms of other resources in the City and the potential for national or local listing,
either individually or as an historic district. The ratings used are:
page 13
-"A" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are potential
candidates for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
-"B" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are not
architecturally distinctive or historically significant enough to be considered
for the National Register, but which maintain a local importance.
-"C" Buildings - This category includes buildings which maintain their
original style, but are not distinctive architecturally or historically. These can
be important if grouped in districts (see Historical Districts, below).
-"D" Buildings - This category includes pre -1940 buildings which have been
altered and do not maintain sufficient integrity to be considered for a higher
category, but may possibly be restorable. (Buildings unlikely to be restorable
are not listed)
Historical Districts
Buildings on the survey which are located in a potential historic district are noted
"Yes" under the heading "Historical District" on the survey sheets. Thus, a building
noted "C" and "Yes" is a contributor to an historic district while an "A - Yes" or "B -
Yes" building is both a contributor to a district and important in its own right
(nationally or locally).

III. SURVEY FINDINGS
A. Identification of Architectural Styles
As described above, one purpose of the building survey was to identify the general
architectural styles common to Tustin prior to initiating detailed research on
individual structures. Six residential styles and four of the most common
commercial styles were identified and are described below. Some styles occur only
rarely in Tustin and are described only in terms of the speck building on the
inventory form itself. The -most common residential styles are illustrated in Figures
2 through 7.
1. Residential Styles
-Victorian - approximately 1870 to 1905
Tustin has one of the most impressive collections of Victorian homes in Orange
County. They range in size from cottages to mansions. Victorian is a general
category used for all buildings built during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837 to
1901). Because there are important examples of four of the Victorian sub -styles
existing in Tustin, they are further defined below:
Stick: The Stick style, rare in Southern California, is defined primarily by
decorative detailing. Multi -textured wall surfaces, gable trusses which mimic the
structural members of Medieval houses, and varied patterns of siding installed in the
square or triangular spaces created by the stickwork are all examples of such
detailing. The Vance House, located at 420 West Main Street, is a fine example of
Victorian Stick and features the gable trusses, variety of wood shingles in the gables,
and bands of decorative work representative of this style (See Figure 2).
Queen Anne: Some of the architectural elements of the Queen Anne style are the
steeply -pitched roof with decorated gables, asymmetrical shape, patterned shingles,
slanted bay windows, elaborate porches, and towers. Queen Anne buildings possess
varied rooflines and facades and are informal in nature. One of Tustin's best
examples of this style is the Stevens House at 228 West Main Street. An example of a
simpler Queen Anne is the McCharles House at 335 South C Street. (See Figure 2
for Victorian styles.)
Greek Revival: Greek Revival buildings in other parts of the United States usually
pre -date the Victorian era. However, in Southern California this style of home was
in vogue during the early years of the Victorian period. Some of Tustin's early
Greek Revival cottages still exist. Parts of the house at 265 Pacific feature elements
of the style. The 6 -over -6 windows with boxed frames, enclosed eaves, basic
page 15
volume and shape, and corner boards are all Greek Revival elements. This house is
also significant because it appears to be the oldest in the city. There are a few board -
and -batten houses in Tustin which also fit into this category.
Italianate: Tustin has Orange County's most significant stock of Italianate
residences. They were built by prosperous early pioneers between 1875 and 1889.
Elegant and formal in style, Italianate house featured wide shiplap siding, tall
narrow windows placed in vertical courses, and square bays centered with paired
windows. Attention was brought to the roofline through the use of enclosed eaves,
ornamental brackets, elaborate cornices, and molding -trimmed panels. The window
trim and cornices are often trimmed with decorative molding. There are a handful
of these houses in Tustin which feature the arched window cornices introduced
during the Italianate period. They are very rare in Southern California.
-Colonial Revival - about 1900 to 1910
The Colonial Revival style arrived in California soon after the turn of the century.
In a rebellion against the excesses of the Queen Anne era, the well -ordered classical
form seen in the homes of our New England forefathers, colonial architecture once
again became popular. There was the patriotic belief that this was America's own
style of architecture. Porticos, slender columns, restrained capitals and classical
Greek moldings began to appear. Narrow clapboard siding was almost always used
to cover the exteriors. However, the slanted bay window, decorative shingles, and
wrap-around porches from the Queen Anne era continued to be used, creating a
union of the two styles. Tustin has relatively few Colonial Revival houses in
comparison to Santa Ana and Anaheim. This probably indicates that Tustin did not
have a significant growth period between 1900 and 1910. A rare gambrel -roofed
version, called a Dutch Colonial Revival, is located at 345 West Main Street.
* Colonial Revival- 1920's
Several homes built in Tustin during the 1920's are Colonial Revival in style.
Usually identified by the use of full-length round wooden porch columns with no
railing and Tudor -like hipped roofs at the tops of the gables, these houses are
basically Craftsman in nature. While areas containing rows of homes of this
particular styles were built in Orange County cities, those in Tustin are not
numerous and sprinkled throughout the City.
There are approximately 30 Colonial Revival structures remaining in the City.
representing about 12% of the pre -1940 residential buildings.
- Craftsman Bungalows - approximately 1910-1925
Tustin has many fine Craftsman Bungalows, located along Main Street and
throughout the remainder of the Historic District. A new appreciation for the
Craftsman Bungalow has become evident during the last few years and is led by
page 16
persons interested in quality and fine craftsmanship. The Craftsman Bungalow
represented a philosophy of life which featured honesty, integrity, and a return to
nature. Natural woods, earth colors, brick, stones, river rocks, clinker brick, and
heavy structural beams signified a oneness with nature. The rocks and bricks were
often used on foundations, chimneys, foundations and railings to set a unifying
theme for the home. Oriental, Tudor, and Swiss -influenced bungalows lent a variety
of architectural elements to the Craftsman Bungalow. Tustin has a good supply of
Craftsman Bungalows built between 1910 and 1925. There are 40 buildings,
representing 16%, in the Craftsman Bungalow category.
-California Bungalows_ - approximately 1910 to 1930
This category includes small, fairly unadorned houses and cottages, as well as
California bungalows. Exterior wall surfaces are covered with board -and -batten,
clapboard, or stucco. Most styles have large porches and utilize wood frame
windows either double -hung or casement. While a large number of modest cottages
and small bungalows remain in the City (approximately 86), only 1 of these was
rated B and none were rated A. (See Figure 4).
-Spanish Colonial Revival - about 1910 to 1925
The earlier examples of these homes feature rectangular shapes, often with flat roofs
and no overhangs. Wood frame windows, often casement style, are used and are set
in stucco walls. Roofing materials are generally red clay tile, but may be visible only
in a small fringe along the front facade. In the 1920's, the Spanish Colonial styles
were larger, more articulated and often had gabled roofs. The stucco walls and file
roof features remained. This style often has a large distinctive (sometimes arched)
windows on the front facade. Other than the small bungalows, this style is the most
common of all residential architectural styles found in the City, with approximately
47 residential Spanish Colonial Revival buildings remaining. Of the many homes in
this style, approximately 10 are rated A or B and 13 are found in the Old Town
Cultural Resources Districts. (See Figure 6.)
-Period Revival - about 1920 to 1940
These homes borrowed. images from Mediterranean, English Tudor, Federal,
Georgian, French Norman, Mission Revival, Byzantine and other styles. For many
of these, the roof lines are steeply pitched with a style emphasis. Tudor Revival
homes featured wood shake roofs and stucco walls with exposed beams. Window
forms are generally casement or double -hung and the front door is often heavy
wood in design. Most homes of this period do not have front porches.
Approximately 15 Period Revival homes remain in the City and 3 are included in the
"A" and "B" rated list. (See Figure 7).

2. Commercial Styles
Tustin has a wealth of commercial buildings in a variety of styles. Four of the most
common styles are described below and illustrated in Figures 8 to 11.
-Western Falsefront - about 1870 to 1900
This style is the earliest commercial style found in the City. These one and two story
structures were often constructed of wood with an extended front facade or
"falsefront" which creates the illusion of another story. Prominent examples of this
style in Tustin are the blacksmith (245 S. C Street) and McCoy Sheet Metal (160 E.
Main Street). (See Figure 8)
-Victorian Commercial - approximately 1880 to 1930
The style includes some of the earliest and most elaborate non-residential buildings
in the city. Specifically included are the Italianate styled Utt Juice Company
building (193 E. Main Street) and the store building at 434 El Camino Real. (See
Figure 9.)
-Neo-Classical Commercial - approximately 1900 to 1925
The Neo -Classical period emphasized the simplicity and purity of Greek and Roman
Classical Architecture. The style enjoyed great popularity for banks, libraries, and
civic buildings throughout California. The facades -are generally very formal,
incorporating full height columns with decorative capitals. Often classical porticos
are used which add balance to the very formal symmetry of the style. The exterior
materials included the use of concrete, plaster, stone; light cream colored brick, and
sometimes decorative terra cotta. Many of Tustin's most distinctive early buildings
are of this style; notably the Knights of Pythias building at 397-399 El Camino Real.
Ten of the City's 24 significant non-residential buildings are of this style. (see
Figure 10.)

B. Windshield Survey Findings
The windshield survey evaluated 271 pre -1940 buildings.* Based on the final
ABCD evaluation rating system, described previously, the survey found 32 A -rated
and 62 B -rated structures in this group. Thus 94 structures (about 35% of the total)
are considered architecturally important buildings. Sixty-five (65) of these are
already protected by their inclusion in the Old Town District.
An additional 137 buildings (50% of the total) were considered C -rated. These
buildings retain much of their original style, but are modest in design. Generally,
these buildings are most important when they occur in districts. (Districts are
clusters or groupings of buildings that can, collectively, convey a sense of history or
which retain the image of the original neighborhood.) A total of 67 C -rated
buildings were found in the Old Town Cultural Resources District.
The number of D -rated structures was 40 buildings or approximately 15% of the
total. These buildings are relatively unimportant from an historic resources
standpoint except for those which occur within historic districts and may be
restorable to contribute to the district. The complete windshield survey results for
the study are attached as Appendix A.
*Two of the 271 buildings was constructed after 1940, but are particularly
noteworthy and are considered potential future landmarks.

C. Inventory and Evaluation Findings
The inventory work consisted of preparing architectural descriptions, researching
historical information and determining the historical significance of each property
determined to be of potential significance. Inventory forms were prepared for each
of the total of 94 A and B rated structures and the 67 C rated structures which are
located in the Old Town District. Copies of the inventory forms for all significant
structures are included in a separate document. (Original forms and photographs are
on file with the Tustin Community Development Department).
The inventory forms prepared for this study are based on the "Historic Resources
Inventory" form (DPR523) used by the State Office of Historic Preservation. A
copy of the State form is included as Appendix C. The form created for Tustin
includes those items needed to identify the property and those for which professional
experience and judgment are most needed. The State form could be completed, if
desired, by transferring the Tustin Survey information as shown below and using
clerical help to complete the remaining items. The following chart shows how to
transfer information provided:
Tustin Form State Form
Street Address Item #3
Style Item #7a
Date & Source Item #8
Alterations Item #14
Photo Box for photo
Description Item #7b
Significance Item #19
It is important to note that the Tustin Form heading of "Significance" includes both
historical data and an evaluation of significance (which may be based on
biographical, historical pr architectural factors). This is consistent with the
organization of the State form, item #19, which requests the preparer to `Briefly
state historical and/or architectural importance (includes dates, events, and persons
associated with the. site)."
page 32
The inventory research and evaluation suggest that the historic resources in Tustin
are unusual in comparison with other Southern California communities of this size
because of the extent of early resources remaining and the concentration of
resources.
1. Extent of Early Resources
Tustin's historic resources are unusual because so many of the very earliest
buildings in the City still remain. Tustin has 31 Victorian buildings - 12% of all the
pre -1940 buildings surveyed and 27 of these are significant "A" or "B" rated
buildings. Cities which incorporated far earlier than Tustin have far fewer of these
important pioneer buildings. By way of comparison, Redondo Beach, which
incorporated in 1892, has nearly 1,400 pre -1940 buildings in the older portions of
the City but only 14 A or B rated Victorians, or about 1 % of their resources. As
another example, Huntington Beach which incorporated in 1909 has 556 pre -1940
buildings in the older sections of the City, but only 9 "A" or "B" rated Victorian
buildings, or 1.6%.
Not only does the City have a rich resource of its oldest pioneer buildings, but also it
has an extensive resource of pre -1920 buildings. Approximately 150 of the 273
buildings surveyed are estimated to have been built prior to 1920 - over 59% of all
resources surveyed.
Based on the history and development pattern of the City, the consultants surmise
that the slow growth pattern of Tustin through much of its early years allowed the
distinctive houses to remain undisturbed. Additionally, many of the oldest sections
of the City were originally held in large land ownerships. This ownership pattern
allowed owners to sell off portions of their land when the need for cash arose, while
retaining ownership of the house and immediate grounds.
2. Concentration of Early Resources
Tustin's historic resources are also unusual because of their concentration. Of the
231 "A", "B" and "C" rated buildings, 132 (57%) are located in the Old Town
District. Of the 94 "A" and "B" rated buildings, 65 (69%) are located in the Old
Town District. Clearly, the Old Town District was well chosen and is crucial to the
preservation of historic resources in the City.
The City's early ownership pattern probably contributed to this concentration of
resources. Instead of the typical tightly -developed community which grow outward
from its center, Tustin's pattern of large ownerships provided various opportunities
for infill over the years as individual parcels were sold off from larger holdings.
Since the City grew initially by infill rather than outward from its center, older
page 33
buildings were not razed to make way for new buildings, nor did they deteriorate as
newer areas became fashionable.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Introduction
Tustin has an excellent resource in its historic buildings and has taken a strong step
to provide protection of these resources by the adoption of the Cultural Resources
Ordinance. The survey has identified additional properties which are potential
Cultural Resources and potential Cultural Resource Districts for the City to
evaluate. Cultural Resources are those individual buildings which are significant
either architecturally, biographically or historically. Potential Cultural Resource
Districts are those collections of buildings which retain the feelings and associations
of the past, without major alterations or intrusions of newer development. In this
section, recommendations are made regarding which resources are most worthy of
protection.
B. Potential Cultural Resources
The premier historic resources in the City are those 94 structures which have been
given an A or a B rating. These structures represent the very best that remains of
the past, and they are a vital link to that sense of continuity with the past that
distinguish "just a place to live" from a "hometown". Of these 94 buildings, 65 are
already protected by their inclusion in the Old Town District. At a minimum, the
consultants recommend preservation of the 32 A -rated buildings considered eligible
for the National Register. These buildings should be preserved on their original
sites since that is an important criteria for National Register eligibility.
Additionally, other individual structures which are not eligible for the National
Register may, have a local importance and be worthy of local protection. A total of
21 B -rated structures which are not in the Old Town District are considered locally
significant.-
C.
ignificant:
C. Potential Historic Districts
In addition to individual structures, collections of buildings are important from a
historic preservation standpoint where these collections:
"represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack
individual distinction" (National Register Criteria, U.S. Government Printing
Office 1983-418-331)
page 34
Such collections of buildings should maintain the feeling and association of the past.
In order to be eligible as a district, the State Office of Historic Preservation requires
that an area must have an internal coherence and be relatively free of new
developments or altered structures which change the appearance of the area in its
historic period.
Tustin has already recognized the importance of the original town site by
designating most of it as the Old Town Cultural Resources District under the
Cultural Resources ordinance. This large area contains 132 "A", `B" and "C" rated
buildings and is clearly the largest and best remaining collection of pre -1940
buildings in the City.
Two small areas north of First Street are suitable to be considered as Cultural
Resources Districts. These areas, shown on Figure 11, were originally considered
for possible inclusion in the Old Town .Historic District. Due to the geographical
separation of First Street and the nature of the resources in the area, they might be
more properly considered as separate districts. These areas provide excellent
concentrations of small bungalows, primarily from the 1920's. Of the 99 "A", "B"
and "C" rated buildings which are not included in the Old Town District
approximately 52 (6 `B's" and 46 "C's") are in this area.
D. Types of District Designations
The present Old Town District and any future districts designated under the City's
ordinance are local districts and are subject to the restrictions of that ordinance
and any local benefits that the City may wish to provide. These same districts may
also be eligible to be National Register Historic Districts or Local Certified Historic
Districts.
To become a National Register District, the collection of buildings must meet
National criteria and be approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Once approved,
this district has the highest prestige and provides the best tax benefits under the Tax
Reform Act. To become a Local Certified Historic District the City must have its
Cultural Resources ordinance certified by the State Office of Historic Preservation
and must have completed an Historical Survey. Subsequent designations of
properties that are locally certified can be listed on the National Register and would
then be eligible for the same benefits as a National Register District.

V. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The historic resources inventory for Tustin has located 271 pre -1940 structures. Of
these, 94 premier structures were determined to be worthy of documentation and 67
additional ("C" rated) structures were documented as contributing to the Old Town
District. This comprehensive process of reviewing all resources, prioritizing their
importance, and selecting potential districts is the primary value of the study.
Utilizing a comprehensive building -by -building survey at the outset assures City
officials that any resultant policy decisions are based on a knowledge of all of the
resources remaining within the City. Therefore the likely consequences of
preservation policies or programs can be considered in advance.
Given the level of new development occurring in the city, officials may want to
consider the place of historic resources in its future. Depending on the action to be
taken, other studies or planning documents may be needed to establish a complete
preservation program. These may include:
•A Public Information Document - possibly describing the historic resources in the
City, the benefits of National Register listing, and the process for preparing an
application;
•A General Plan Element or Amendment - defining policies for preserving historic
resources and naming these resources or the criteria by which resources will be
considered significant;
-Design Guidelines - establishing principles for rehabilitation of historic strictures
and compatible new infill within historic districts for use by the staff or Cultural
Resources Advisory Committee or other review body created by ordinance.

LEGEND FOR FINAL FIELD SURVEY
1. Address
Address numbers are listed sequentially by street. Street names are listed
alphabetically.
2. Date
This item indicates the original construction date of the building.
3. St le
This item provides a brief description of the architectural style of the building. The
basic characteristic of major styles identified throughout Tustin are described in the
Survey Report.
4. Source
This item indicates whether permit records or a visual evaluation of the building was
used to determine the date. The code used is: P = permit, E = estimated, T = title.
5. Rating
The buildings are rated into four groups (A, B, C, D). Initially this rating was based
on a visual review of architectural style. When research was completed on the the
historical significance of these buildings and when the full extent of historic
resources in the City was known, the ratings modified, as needed, to reflect
architectural style, the uniqueness of that style in the City, and historical
significance. The meaning of each rating is listed below:
-"A" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are potential
candidates for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
-"B" Buildings - This category includes buildings which are not
architecturally distinctive or historically significant enough to be considered
for the National Register, but which maintain a local importance.
- "C" Buildings -. This category includes buildings which maintain their
original style, but are not individually distinctive architecturally or
historically. These buildings may be important when grouped in a district.
page 39
-"D" Buildings - This category includes pre -1940 buildings which have been
altered and do not maintain sufficient integrity to be considered for a higher
category, but may possibly be restorable. (Buildings unlikely to be restorable
are not listed.)
- Historical District- This item indicates "Yes" or "No" is a structure is located
in a potential historic districts. Thus a "C - Yes" building is a contributor to an
historic district while an "A - Yes" or "B - Yes" building is both a contributor
to a district and important in its own right (nationally or locally).
6. Alterations
This item indicates the degree of alterations. The letter identifies the degree of
alterations in terms of severe (S), moderate (M), or few (F).
7. Notes/Comments
This item is an open category to include notes or comments as needed. Buildings
which house a particular use or have a common name, may be identified by that use
or name in this item, e.g. Tustin Hardware.

CITY OF TUSTIIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
A side -facing gabled roof, with a higher front -facing gabled roof extending into its center from the back, crowns this
single -storied Craftsman Bungalow. The exterior is clad in narrow clapboard siding. Single exposed beam ends and a tapered
stucco -clad chimney accent the gable faces. Large carved triangular braces support the front -facing gabled portico. The ends of all
of the bargeboards are curved at the bottom The Craftsman -style front door, ornamented with three separate beveled glass squares
across the top and three tall, narrow beveled glass panels below, is particularly fine. All windows and doors have extended lintels.
The concrete porch is open and the entrance is between two large stucco -clad piers and smaller pier, on each side of the steps. A
large plate glass window is located to the east of the front door while a pair of multi -paned french doors and a double -hung window
occupy the space on the west A round classical column in the northwest comer indicates that there was once a recessed porch on
the west side of the front section of the house. The spacing of the french doors, double -hung window, and the row of windows in
the west facade are further evidence of that alteration. A variety of windows are used throughout the rest of the house, and there is
a second entrance in the middle of the east facade, facing the driveway. A large double garage, topped with a front -facing gabled
roof and clad in narrow clapboard siding, is now living quarters.
SIGNIFICANCE:
William H. Bowman, a prominent local contractor, built this home for his father, William D. Bowman. William D. lived in the
Craftsman Bungalow next door (also built by his son). He lived in this house until 1924, when he moved to 123 S. Pacific Street.
At that time, Samuel and Nancy Poston moved into this home. Only a few years later they sold the house to Edith and Michael
LeMasters, who were local ranchers. Margaret Byrd remembers that Dr. Day, a dentist, operated his practice out of this house
during the 1920's and 30's. By 1939 Otto and Irene Becker had purchased the home. Mr. Becker was an auto representative. This
house has some particularly fine Craftsman architectural details which cause it to stand out. The portico, open porch, variety of
windows, round classical columns on the west side, and heavy Craftsman door add interest to the design. In addition, the house
has association with the Bowman family, prominent Tustin pioneers who arrived in Southern California in 1881. William D. was
an early fruit grower who did much to help develop the agriculture industry in the Tustin area. William H. Bowman started as a
carpenter and went on to become a prominent building contractor who built many of the area's fine homes.

(CIrT Y OF T USSTU `N IHIIISSTORUCA L SURVEY
A good example of the Airplane Craftsman Bungalow, the two-story building at 520 has been converted into office space.
Although there have been some significant recent alterations, much of the original architectural fabric is still there. Low-pitched
gabled roofs, accented with double exposed beam ends and single rafter tails, face each direction at the second floor level. Gabled
wings on the first floor project to the front (north), west, south and east. The house appears to have been clad in stucco
originally, and a new coat has been added. The front porch, with its wide front -facing gabled roof, is now enclosed with narrow
shiplap siding. A new pair of plain double doors and a row of modem metal -framed windows occupy the front facade. A matching
window and siding are visible in the front -facing gabled wing above. A large plate glass window and two original double -hung
windows face front in the western -most wing. The Craftsman window pattern, originally used throughout the house, features a pair
of mullions across the the uppermost section. On the west side a large plate glass window, flanked by two double -hung windows
in the original pattern, occupies the entire space. A large stucco -clad chimney, accented with a recessed panel in the center, is
located on the west side, near the back. A small wing near the back of the east side also features the original patterned windows.
A large metal stairway is located in the rear. Three new paneled doors lead to the interior. There is no garage.
SIGNIFICANCE:
William Bowman built this fine Airplane Craftsman Bungalow for his father, William D. Bowman, in 1916. He had purchased 91
acres from Stella Preble earlier that year. William D. and his wife lived here until they moved to a new house at 450, immediately
to the east, in 1922. William and his wife purchased the home at that time. He had previously been in the ranching business on
Irvine Blvd. near Newport. When he moved to this address he became part of a fledgling wholesale grocery company named Smart
and Final. Serving as Secretary -Treasurer in 1925, Mr. Suddaby advanced to Vice -President and General Manager by 1928. In 1930
he became President of the firm. One of Orange County's success stories, Smart and Final grew to become an active chain of
stores which are still in business in Southern California. In 1934 Frank and Edith McGrath purchased the home and continued to
live there for several years. At that time, which was during the Depression, he was in the second hand goods business. This
house is significant because of its architecture and its associations with the Bowman family. Because of its alterations it does not
appear to be eligible for the National Register, however, it is an important part of Tustin's history.

DESCRIPTION:
CTTY OF TUSTUN HISTORICAL SURVEY
One of Tustin's very fine rare Italianate structures, the two-story building shown here is now an office building. It still retains its
basic elegance and architectural elements, even though much of the original trim has been removed. The hipped roof ends in a
heavy cornice of enclosed eaves. There is a hexagonal tower roof above the two-story slanted bay. Wide shiplap siding, trimmed
with quarter -round at the comers, covers the exterior. The house is ell -shaped, with a single -storied porch occupying the entire
ell, and the two-story slanted bay and tower roof projecting from the front wing of the ell. The windows are ranked, with those on
the first floor directly below and matching those on the second floor. Matching pairs are used on the fust and second floors near
the east end of the front facade, while each slanted bay contains three identical double -hung windows. Heavy wood cornices top
each lintel and carved decoration accents the window sills. The windows on the front facade are all arched at the top, while those
on the sides and back have rectangular tops. The shed -style porch roof is supported by square columns trimmed in molding. The
frieze, also trimmed in molding, is no longer has its original brackets and paneled ornamentation. A two-story addition on the
back features rows of multi -paned windows on the east side and a second story open balcony on the west side. There are less than
25 Italianate homes remaining in all of Orange County. Preceding the Queen Anne homes, most were built in the 1870's and 80's
and deserve special recognition as the fust major architectural style used in the settlement of Orange County.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Barbara Ann Lewis, sister of Columbus Tustin, sold the property to James Y. Morehead for $700. on December 14, 1875.
Morehead sold the property to Almon Goodwin for $3,500. on December 29, 1881. Goodwin may have built the house; he sold
the 7.26 acre property in January, 1887 for $10,000 to William W. Martin.The house pictured in an 1887 publication as the
residence of W. W. Martin. However, the house is commonly known as the "Albee Mansion" due to its. long association with
Charles and Alice Albee. They are both listed as living at this address in the 1916 directory. Mrs. Albee was involved in deed
transactions on pieces of the extensive property (once covered by avocado and orange trees) as late as 1943. Henry C. Wollert,
an interior decorator, owned the house from 1944 to 1946. Orville Northup owned the house from 1947 to 1954, and was the
Superintendent/Principal of Tustin Union High School from 1941 to 1961. Dr, Henry Eastman acquired the house in 1954 and
made it into three apartments. His office nurse for nearly 20 years, Dorothy Deering, this address for nearly. 20 years, believes
that the house was built about 1874. In 1977, Attorney Norman Schmeltzer, converted the house to law offices and continues to
use the building for office space. Two of the early owners of this house, W.W. Martin and the Charles Albees played a major role
in the primary settlement period of Tustin. Both owned large parcels of property which they sold to individual families for
development. The Albees were significant to the citrus and avocado industries, major economic forces in the Tustin area Orville
Northrop, as the principal of Tustin HIgh for 20 years, had considerable influence within the community. Dr. Eastman served the
community as a family physician for over 20 years. The house in its original Italianate form was of National Register quality.
The rather noticeable alterations which detract from the original integrity could be reversed.

One of a handful of Colonial Revival homes in Tustin, this single -storied house is crowned with a hipped roof with a
front -facing gable projecting from the west side of the front facade. The gable is centered with a louvered vent and accented with a
finial. A row of carved rafter tails rings the roof line. Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior. Therecessed porch, which
occupies the west half of the front facade, is supported by round wooden columns, resting on a solid clapboard rail. Double -hung
windows are used throughout the rest of the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Benjamin S. S. Hadley, who purchased several lots from the Tustin Land and Improvement Company in 1904, built this house in
1905. At that time this end of D Street ( El Camino Real) was residential and the house faced D. In the 1920's the corner lot at D
was developed as commercial property and the house was moved one lot to the east, facing Second Street Benjamin S. S. Hadley
was a gardener. By 1916, his son, Albert, and his wife, Eva, were living on the property. Albert and Eva were ranchers.
Benjamin had retired and moved to Santa Ana, and in 1932 is listed as living at the Orange County Hospital. He died later that
year. In 1930 the house, which had been moved to the Second Street address, was sold to Thomas and Della Snell. The Snells sold
the house to the Hale family in 1944. Florence and Elmer Hale (he was an electrician) moved there from 355 D Street. He died
shortly thereafter and Florence continued to live in the home for over 20 years. Her son, Clifford, and her daughter, Margie, also
lived there for several years, Margie in business as a ceramics artist and painter. After returning from serving with the U.S. Navy
during W W II, Clifford went into the ceramics business with her. During the 50's their studio was located at 158 W. Main Street.
This house is significant because it is one of a handful of Colonial Revival homes in Tustin and is a good example of that
architectural style.

A centered gable, clad in narrow shiplap siding, and featuring enclosed eaves and carved brackets, crowns the bellcast truncated
hipped roof of the house on the northeast comer of Second and A Streets. A hipped porch roof, edged in exposed rafter tails, runs
the full length of the front facade and is supported by square posts at each corner. It appears to have been added at least 20 years
after the house was constructed. Medium -width shiplap siding, trimmed with comer boards, covers the exterior. Newer
double -hung windows replace the original on the front facade, but a pair of the original tall, narrow double -hung windows can be
seen on the west side. A high horizontal stationary window is also located on the west side. The front door, with its high
window and ledge, is Late Craftsman in style. A new foundation, now covered with lattice work, and a new porch floor have
recently been completed. The house sits on a large lot with lots of trees. The gable -roofed double garage, with wooden doors, is
located in the rear northwest comer. This house is architecturally significant because it is part of a group of pre -1900 houses in
Tustin that represent an important growth/settlement period.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This house and its parcel of land reach far back into Tustin's unique historic background. Part of Barbara Ann Lewis' Addition to
Tustin City, the 2 lots were sold by Mrs. Lewis to W. W. Martin. Mrs. Lewis was the sister of Columbus Tustin and bought and
sold several pieces of Tustin land during the primary settlement period of the community. W. Martin, who was in real estate,
came to Tustin in 1874 and bought and sold a large amount of Tustin property during the early days. W. W. Martin sold the west
50 feet of the double lot to Ella Bunch, for the sum of $500 "out of her own separate funds", in 1887. Less than a year later she
sold the lot to Frank Rogers for $1500. Shortly thereafter, Frank Rogers obtained a mortgage for the construction of the house
from Florence McCharles. Her husband built many of Tustin's early homes. In 1894 Frank, Rogers sold the house to Everett
Higgins, a local walnut grower. E. M. and Emma Wheeler, a retired couple, owned the house for a short time in 1906, selling it to
N. Frank Ritchey and his wife, Blanche, later that year. Mr. Ritchey was a partner in the firm of Bowman, Ritchey, and Wiley,
Fumigators. Their business was located at 501 E. Second. The Ritcheys sold the house to Mrs. Eva Holford in 1917. She
continued to live there until 1927. Miles Benton and Corda E Hendricks were the next owners, living in the house until 1938. Mr.
Hendricks was an employee of W. N. Prince Company in 1927, had his own wholesale produce business in Santa Ana in the early
1930's, and became a real estate salesman for Ray Goodsell of Santa Ana in 1936. Tom and Buelah Lewis purchased the house in
1939. Mr. Lewis was a rancher. The couple lived in the house for more than 20 years. This house is significant because of its
age and Italianate styling and its contribution to the primary settlement period.

Several alterations have changed the character of this large 1 and 1/2 -storied Craftsman Bungalow. The high side -facing gabled
roof, which features a centered gabled dormer, is clad in shake shingles. The dormer and gables are the only significant Craftsman
elements remaining. The dormer is covered with the original wood shingles and accented with elaborate triangular braces and
features a slanted bay window at the center. The east and west gable faces are clad in wood shingles accented with triangular braces
and criss-cross latticework venting. A pair of double -hung windows is centered in each gable. A new red brick chimney adorns
the east side. The recessed front porch is now supported by brick -clad square columns. Wide clapboard siding covers the exterior
and used brick wainscotting has been added to the lower third of the facade. Large multi -paned windows replace the original. A
single -storied addition has been added to the west side. A large double garage is located in the rear. It is clad in medium -width
clapboards and has wooden doors. A huge California sycamore tree shelters the front yard. In spite of its obvious altered
condition, this house was given a high rating because it is one of the finest examples of the Craftsman style in the city.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This house was constructed sometime between 1908 and 1915 on the NW corner of Browning and Laguna Road (Highway 101) on
property that originally belonged to the Irvine Co. Margaret Annie Ahern and her husband bought the house on November 26,
1917. When her grandson, Drenan, acquired title in 1946, the house was still surrounded by twenty acres of oranges. When the
Santa Ana Freeway was constructed in the early 1950's, the house was sold to H.H. Hannaford and moved to its present site on
Second Street. The Hannafords' daughter and her husband, Vincent C. Meek still own and live in the house. Because the house
was moved and severely altered, it would not qualify for the National Register. However, it does contribute to the historic
streetscape and visually fits well into the row of pre -1930 houses.

Narrow shiplap siding, fishscale shingles in the gable and the design of the two front -facing gables indicate an 1890's
construction date for this 1 and 1/2 story Victorian. Trim boards cover the corners of the shiplap. The roofscape features cross
gables, with a taller front -facing gabled roof, visible above the intersecting ell -shaped gabled roof at the front. The front gable
contains a louvered vent, while the east and west gables feature a pair of small double -hung windows, addeed at a later date. The
fishscale-clad dormer of the highest gable is centered with a small stationary window, flanked by recessed wood panels. A large
gabled dormer, with enclosed eaves and a pair of original double -hung windows is located on the west side. A plain frieze, with
elongated carved wooden brackets, borders the eave line. The fanciful 1890's chimney has a complicated pattern with sections of
various widths and heights. The original turned posts support the porch roof. There is no railing. The front door, which features
a horizontal window, at eye level, a horizontal recessed panel above and below the window, and a pair of vertical panels in the
bottom third, is typical of the 1890's. A doorway in the east face of the front wing has been covered over the wood. Tall, narrow
double -hung windows, with molding at the top of the lintel, are original. The large plate glass window and transom in the center
of the front wing was probably added about 1905. A low slumpstone wall borders the front sidewalk. The parcel is large, with an
extra lot on the west side. This house is significant because it is a good example of the type of Victorian home built in Tustin
prior to the turn of the century.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Arthur E. Bennett (owner 1897-1915) was an early fumigator, an orchardist, an the superintendent of the Tustin Presbyterian
Church Sunday School. His wife, Richye was the daughter of Peter Vandermuelen, a local orchardist. They were both active in
the community. Byron "Barney" Crawford (owner 1915-1943) was Tustin's first mayor, serving from 1927 to 1932, when he
retired from public office. Professionally, he was the manager of the Tustin Hills Citrus Association Packing house. The
Victorian architecture and connections with persons significant to Tustin history mark this house as one of above average
importance to the community.

SIGNIFICANCE:
In 1930 Robert and Grace McCord purchased the land for this house from Lon Silver, a rancher who lived on Third Street. They
built this attractive Spanish Colonial house that same year. Mr. McCord was a ranch worker. Within two years the McCords sold
the house to Hang and Verna Miller. He worked at the Utt Juice Company on East Main Street. By 1935 Arthur Charleton and his
wife, Isabelle, had purchased the home. Mr. Charleton, who worked for the Cadillac Garage Company in Santa Ana in 1935,
became a longtime employee of O. R. Haan Chrysler Company in that city. In 1949 he became a Tustin City Councilman. The
Charletons continued to live in the house for several years. The house is architecturally important and gains significance from its
associations with the Arthur Charleton, who served as a city councilman while living in this residence.

A hip -roofed Italianate house hides behind the wrap-around porch of the single -storied home pictured above. The roof is bordered
with enclosed eaves and is centered with a pedimented gable, accented with a louvered vent. A matching pediment is located on
the west side, near the back. The house is now clad in asbestos siding. The shed -style porch, also featuring enclosed eaves, runs

Craftsman -style garage, also covered with asbestos siding, is located behind the house. It features a row of three casement
windows, centered in the front facade of the second floor, and the original sliding car siding -clad garage doors. Although the
house has received several alterations through the years, it is still a significant contributor to the historic streetscape of Tustin.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Based on the estimated date of construction, the house was probably built by Mary Vandermuelen, or her daughter, Richt e
Vandermuelen Bennett, who owned the property from 1901 to 1920. Walter Pollard and his family owned and lived in the house
from 1921 to 1947. Pollard was the first City Treasurer, serving from 1927 to 1944, and a partner in W.J. Pollard & Son, a
poultry ranch at 1362 Pollard in Santa Ana. (1947 Directory) Tustin has a healthy stock of pre -1900 Victorian and Greek Revival
homes. This residence fits well into that category. The rather extensive alterations preclude it from having a higher rating, even
though it is a significant historic home with associations with the Vandermuelen, Bennett and Pollard families.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The house was owned by William M. and Helen Huntley 1913 to 1965. William Huntley was elected to Tustin's first city council at
the time of incorporation in 1927. He served as mayor from 1932 to 1940. he was co-owner of the Tustin Garage and a member of
the Volunteer Fire Department. He organized and kept the records of "Zeke's Bunch", which was comprised of all who had attended
the Tustin Public School under John J. Zielian from 1882 to 1908. Zeke's Bunch held annual picnics at Irvine park from the early
1920's into the 60's largely through the efforts of William Huntley. Few pioneers contributed more than Huntley did to the growth
and development of Tustin as a city. His wife, Helen Gulick Huntley, did much research into the history of Tustin and here work
was gathered into the unpublished "Tustin Scrapbook", and edited by her niece, Edna Phelps. The naturalistic Craftsman features
and Oriental -influenced railing are important character defining elements in the design of this bungalow and make it a significant
member of the Tustin Historic District In addition, the building's association with the Huntley family and their contributions to
the civic and historical character of the City elevate the property in status.

SIGNIFICANCE:
This house bears several similarities in design to the house at 320. The large stucco -clad chimney, french windows, and garden
wall are common design elements in both houses. They were built by Virgil Deaver, a local nurseryman whose business was
located at Main and D, in 1922. He had purchased the two lots from O. T. Johnson of Santa Ana. Johnson owned five lots in all,
which he had obtained in 1920 from Charles Conant, a teller at the First National Bank of Tustin. After finishing the house in
1922, Virgil Deaver sold it to Edwin D. Holmes Jr., and his wife, Kathryn. He was in the insurance business in Santa Ana. The
Holmes lived there until Mrs. E. G. Dunstan bought the house in 1926. In 1936 the house passed to John Dunstan, a
Vice -President of the First National Bank. His daughter, Frances Emily, a clerk at the First National Bank of Tustin, lived there in
the late 1930's and her father deeded the house to her in 1941. She eventually moved back into her parent's home on Yorba Street,
and the house became a rental for several years. Although it does not appear to be significant on its own, it does contribute to
the Tustin Historic District and is appropriate in size and style to the historic streetscape.

A classical version of a Midwest farm house, the two -storied house shown here is topped by a steeply -pitched side -facing gabled
roof with matching dormers, which extend downward, through the eaves. The tall, narrow dormers add a vertical emphasis to the
front facade. Fishscale shingles and enclosed eaves accent the gable faces. The original narrow shiplap siding, now covered with
asbestos shingles, can be seen on the front facade, under the shed -style porch roof. Square wood posts support the roof, which
extends across the entire front facade. The rail below is enclosed, and it appears that the porch has been or will be screened. The
multi -paned windows overlooking the porch were added in the 1940's or 50's. A new carport has been added on the west side and a
newer double garage has been added to the rear. The front door, accented by a 6 -light window in the top half and vertical recessed
panels in the lower half, appears to be original. This house gains architectural significance because it is one of Tustin's pre -1900
structures, and because of its one -of -a -kind historical appearance.
SIGNIFICANCE:
George Hubbard came to Tustin about 1880 and purchased about 40 acres in and around Tustin. He owned the western half of this
block in 1893 and on it had a croquet court and an arbor of Delaware grapes. No mention was made of a house, as he lived at 302
S. A Street The house may have been moved there by Florence Dawes, who owned it from 1911 to 1919. The house was
considered old when Frank Pierson moved into it in 1919. A carpenter by trade, he built, then glassed -in the front porch. His
son, Austin, grew up here, leaving in 1935 when he married. As one of Tustin's pre -1900 structures, this house has an obvious
importance. Its resemblance to a Midwestern farm house is representative migration period, when many of Orange County's new
residents were transplanted from the Midwestern states.

Two kinds of siding, neatly trimmed with corner boards, a molding -trimmed frieze, and a narrow beltcourse add character to the
Colonial Revival house shown above. Narrow shiplap siding, with a narrow bead, covers the bottom half of the house, while
narrow clapboards cover the upper half. This relatively unusual combination of shiplap and clapboard siding was used during a
very short period between 1898 and 1900. The bellcast hipped roof, centered with a matching dormer, is edged with enclosed
eaves. A diamond -paned window, flanked by louvered vents, is located in the dormer face. The recessed front porch has been
enclosed with multi -paned glass, but the original square wood posts, resting on a solid shiplap-clad railing, remain in place. A
plate glass window, topped by a diamond -paned mullioned transom and flanked by narrow double -hung sidelights, occupies the
space beside the front porch. Double -hung windows, in singles and in pairs, are used throughout the rest of the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Sarah Eddy was the widow of Samuel Eddy, who had a blacksmith shop on the SW corner of Third and B Streets. After he died in
1894, she bought this house. Harry Brookbank owned the house from 1925 to 1931. He was a box maker, presumably for a
packing house. His wife, Littie, ran the dry goods section at Artz Mercantile for many years. A good example of Colonial Revival
architecture, this house retains most of its original integrity and is a major contributor to the Tustin Historic District.
Because of certain architectural features inconsistent with a pre -1894 house and inconsistencies in historical sources, it appears
that this house may have been moved onto the site, replacing the house Sarah Eddy lived in.

A Tudor -style roof, with a hipped peak on both the side -facing gables and the front -facing porch roof, crowns the Colonial
Revival bungalow at 450 Third Street. Dentil trim, returns, and double louvered vents accent the gable faces. Narrow clapboard
siding covers the exterior. The porch is supported by tapered wood columns, resting on piers built of two colors of grey brick.
The wide front door, accented with a row of narrow diagonally -placed beveled glass windows, is flanked by multi -paned sidelights.
Plate glass windows, flanked by narrow double -hung sidelights, are located on each side of the front door. A matching window set
can be seen under the double gable on the west facade. A pair of double -hung windows, which occupy the space near the east end
of the front facade, match those used throughout the rest of the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Charles and Clara Wilson acquired this property - 2 lots - in 1924 from Alice Hubbard and owned it until 1969. Wilson built the
house for $5,000, an expensive house for those days, possibly because of the wide carved walnut molding used around the ceilings
in each room Wilson was a water -well contractor, working in Tustin and for the Irvine Company. He received recognition in 1945
when he brought in the deepest known water well using one unbroken string of 16 -inch stovepipe casing. The well, located on the
Borchard ranch on Ritchey SL, Santa Ana, was 1475 feet deep. There are few Tudor Revival homes in Tustin. This one is a good
example of that style and representative of the size and general shape being built by the average resident of Tustin during the
1920's.

SIGNIFICANCE:
George and Alice Hubbard, who owned four lots on West Third during the 1910's, sold this lot to Lon Silver in 1924. George
Hubbard came to Tustin in 1880 and purchased 40 acres. They bought and sold several pieces of property in the city and held
several mortgages. Lon Silver wasin the real estate business in Santa Ana during the 1920's and also was a rancher. It appears
that he built this house around 1924 and lived here until he built the house next door in 1930. The house is a good example of a
Craftsman Bungalow and contributes significantly to the Tustin Cultural Resources District

This unusual single -storied Spanish Colonial Revival house is topped with a dramatic stepped parapet, edged in red clay tiles. The
exterior is clad in stucco. A prominent rectangular covered entry, accented with a southwest emblem in the center, forms the
centerpiece for the symmetrical front facade. A wide arched opening, flanked by narrow arched openings, accent the front of the
entry. Slanted wingwalls add further to the southwest feeling. The same style arch opens to the east side, where there is a
courtyard bordered by a low stucco -clad wall, and to the west side, where access to the entry is located. Trios of french doors
flank the entry porch, and narrow horizontal vents are located above each set. The front door and sidelights, bordered in narrow
panes of glass and square mullions at the comers, match the french doors. This house, with its southwest feeling, prominent
entry, delicate parapet, and use of arches, is an unusual example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Built by Lon Silver in 1930, this unusual Spanish Colonial Revival house has some interesting architectural features (noted above)
and is significant for its associations with the Silvers and Vincent Humeston. W. Humeston, who purchased the home in 1937,
served as a City Councilman and as Mayor of Tustin during the late 1940's. He taught government and history at Tustin High
School for many years during the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. He was especially interested in local government and felt strongly that
Tustin should expand its boundaries as Anaheim and Santa Ana were doing in the 1940's and 50's. He lived in this house into the
1960's.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Oscar and Ester Leihy, the owners of the Tustin Cyclery Shop, built this house in 1916 and lived in it for over 50 years. During
the Teens, his cyclery business was located on the south side of Main Street, between C and D Streets. He branched out into
sporting goods soon after he opened the shop. As the automobile replaced the bicycle, he moved on to the automobile repair
business. He also became an orange rancher in the 1920's. Mr. Leihy was a member of one of Tustin's earliest pioneer families.
His grandfather, Isaac M. Leihy, came to Tustin from Sonoma County in 1874. Purchasing 10 lots from Columbus Tustin, he was
the 14th person to buy land in the new Tustin City. His son, Waldo, marred Jessie Sheats in 1876 and soon after settled on 20
acres of land on Santa Clara Avenue. They had four children, including Oscar, while residing on the ranch and continued to live
there until they retired to downtown Tustin in 1913. The house is significant because of its associations with the Leihy family and
contributes to the historic character of the neighborhood.

John and Kathryn Stanton owned the house from 1930 to 1954. John Stanton (6-4") known as "Big John" to the entire
community, was Tustin's first policeman and the only policeman from 1928 to 1942 except for a night relief man hired in the late
30's. Stanton also served as building inspector for the City. His wife, Kathryn, was a beautician and operated her beauty shop from

The original T-shaped I and 1/2 story section of this finely -detailed Greek Revival house has a two-story addition on the back.
The gabled roof, featuring gables facing front (east), back, south and north, is bordered with enclosed eaves and accented with
returns in the gable faces. Dramatic arched 2 -over -2 double -hung windows, accented with heavy molding, are centered in the front
and south side gables. The exterior is clad in wide shiplap siding, with plain pilasters and shaped caps at each corner. Pairs of
2 -over -2 double -hung windows, trimmed in molding and topped with wide cornices, are located below the arched windows on both
the front facade and the south side. The front porch is located in the ell of the T and features a flat roof, supported by three sets of
posts. Unique in design, they consist of a pair of narrow square wood 2 x 2's, supported by wood bases and topped by rectangular
molding -trimmed caps. 2 -over -2 windows flank the inverted cross front door, which appears to be original. A pair of narrow
beveled glass panels occupies the top half of the door, while the bottom half contains vertical molding -trimmed panels.
Molding -trimmed rectangles form a pattern along the porch frieze. The porch is concrete, with concrete steps, a high concrete
block foundation and concrete block piers. The remainder of the foundation is clad in 4 -inch vertical boards. The two-story
addition in the back is clad in wide clapboard siding and topped with a front -facing gabled roof that is visible over the top of the
original house. The 2 -over -2 windows are designed to match those used in the original construction. The carriage house on the
north side of the back yard is one of the most remarkable in Orange County. Crowned with a steeply -pitched hipped roof and
cupola, the building is clad in shiplap siding. The cupola is accented with fishscale and regular wood shingles, delicate brackets,
louvered venting, and a weathervane. The front gable is trimmed in heavy molding and centered with the original carsiding-clad
hayloft doors. The carsiding is placed diagonally in the doors and in a wide band in the space under the eaves. Large carved
brackets accent the roof line. The plain wood door is not original. The carriage house is a unique example of Queen Anne
architecture and has an architectural significance all its own, in addition to being part of an important historic property.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The house was originally owned by city pioneer Sherman Stevens and was purchased by Ernest Crawford in 1917. Crawford
transported incoming and outgoing mail to and from the Santa Fe Aliso Station south of town and later to and from the rail station
in Santa Ana. Mrs Crawford owned Crawford's Frock Shop (434 El Camino Real) in the early 1930's. After 1971, Mrs. Horace
Stevens bought it back and used it as the residence for her caretakers. The fine Greek Revival architecture exhibited in this
significant Tustin home makes it a good candidate for the National Register. Its associations with early pioneers, Sherman
Stevens and with the broad patterns of early Tustin history add to its significance.
The garage was the carriage house for the Stevens' House at 228 W. Main St. It was moved to this site in the late 1970's when
Stevens' Square was developed. Mrs. Stevens made a latge addition to the house at that time and lived here during construction of
Stevens' Square.

A modern multi -paned square bay has been added to the house. A horizontal window, flanked by double -hung sidelights, is located
in the south facade, while a square bay with a high horizontal window is located on the north side. There is no garage.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Emilie and Phillip Bergquist were the builders of this large Craftsman Bungalow, in 1913. The house is unusual in that it appears
to have two original front doors. Margaret Byrd recalls that the reason for this was that the house was built to accommodate two
families, the Bergquists and a set of in-laws. William Bowman, who built many Tustin homes, was the contractor. The Bergquists
were partners in a well-known Tustin general merchandise store, Sauers and Bergquist. In 1918 Mrs. Bergquist sold the house to
Horton Marshall. He is shown as living there from in 1921. The house was a rental as a duplex after it was sold to Mrs. Alice
Crawford later that same year. Other owners who used it as rental property were Hazel Davis, Jean Thorman, and Robert J. Wiley.
In 1946 Mary Louise and Paul Marsh, newly arrived from Michigan, purchased the house and turned it into a single family home.
He worked for C. B. Knickerbocker's auto agency. Silas J. Ames, a clerk for the Santa Fe Railroad, and his wife, Amy, purchased
the home in 1952 and lived there for several years. The house is a good example of a Craftsman Bungalow and is significant for
its connections with the Bergquists, prominent merchants in Tustin.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Thomas Snell purchased the property in 1925 and built the restaurant which was listed in the 1931 Directory as the Auto Court
Cafe. Olive Jewett bought the Cafe in 1935 and the restaurant was known as Jewetfs Cafe during the remaining 30's, although she
owned it only until November, 1937. Prior to the opening of the Santa Ana Freeway, State Highway 101, which passed through
Tustin, was a major truck route and the little cafe was the only truck stop between San Juan Capistrano and Anaheim Hubert and
Ruby Spriggs bought the property in 1946, renaming the cafe as the "Truckers' Inn" (1947) and "Ruby's" (1949). The Spriggs
owned and operated the cafe into the late 60's. Ruby's Cafe was popular with the thousands of servicemen stationed at nearby
military bases. El Camino Real, then called D Street, was the main thoroughfare from the base to Santa Ana. Probably not
significant for its architecture, the restaurant has a nostalgic value to long-time Tustin residents, ex -servicemen and truckers.

SIGNIFICANCE:
J.J. Woodward acquired the property from Mary Louise Utt Deaver and built the cast -in-place concrete structure in 1928 to be a
restaurant with a beauty shop upstairs, but it was never used for either purpose. Sam Hankin's gunny sack business was there in
the early 1930's. From the late 30's to 1945 Hale's Electric occupied the building. The Tustin News used the building from 1945
to 1959, when it was moved to its present locations on B Street. Subsequent businesses were: 1) Morgan Hilton's Paint Store
(1959-64). Hilton was the Volunteer Fire Department Chief from 1959 to 1962, and Tustin's fust full time fire chief (1962-1975).
2) Lou Gerding's Photography studio (1964-1980) and 3) Architect Richard Rengal's offices (1987 - present). This building is a
contributor to Tustin's historic commercial center and is significant as part of the 1920's commercial growth period.

Gold ruffled brick, accented with white face brick, were used to construct the front facade. Three rows of the gold ruffled brick,
which form a shallow cornice that runs the length of the storefront, are balanced below by three rows of white face brick which
connect with the matching vertical pilasters, forming frames around the store bays. Recessed panels accent each pilaster. The
storefront at 355 has been covered with wood; however a substantial amount of the original material could be hidden under the
wood. The centered recessed door is not original and the transom space, diagonal store bays, and front show windows are covered
with the wood. The bulkhead is covered in a similar patterned brick, with an elaborate cast metal grates. The storefront at 365
retains most of its original integrity, including aluminum -framed plate glass show windows with diagonal sections on each side

SIGNIFICANCE:
Charles L.Cotant bought the property from Mary Louise Utt Deaver in 1923 and had the building built about 1925. The building
was _leased to the Tustin Billiard Hall and to Frank Carter for a grocery store. George A. Smith ran the Billiard Hall, which became
famous for its wonderful roasted peanuts (the peanut -roasting machine is on display at the Tustin Area Museum). Charles Cleary
bought the building about 1940 and operated his "Sportman's Headquarters" (sporting goods) at 365, "Sportsman's Pool Hall" at
355, and taxidermy studio in the rear of the store. Tustin fishermen bought their fishing licenses there and then returned with
their catch so Cleary could stuff them. In 1969 Lillian and Hayden Williams leased the half at 355 and rebuilt the inside into a bar
and pool hall known as "The Swinging Door"; Lillian still owns it (1988). A significant building in Tustin's historic
commercial center, the Neo -Classical building at 355-365 El Camino has one storefront which retains its integrity and one which
has been altered. As with any popular local gathering place, the Billiard Hall and Sportsman's Headquarters evoke fond memories
for long-time Tustin residents.

Drug Co./Variety Store/Rexall Drugs (1930-1960's) at 399 El Camino Real, Tustin Area Museum (1978 -present), and Tustin
Chamber of Commerce (1978 -present). The Knights of Pythias building appears to be a strong candidate for the National Register
on the basis of its architecture, quality construction, high degree of original integrity, its significance to the broad patterns of
Tustin history and as a center of local government.

DESCRIPTION:
Constructed of ruffled brick in tones of gold and tan, the single -storied commercial building on the corner of Main and El Camino
Real is capped by a flat roof and unbroken parapet edged with a cornice of two rows of brick. The plain light gold brick frieze is
edged along the bottom with three rows of darker brick. The light gold facade below is accented every fifteen feet with vents
composed of five vertical bricks. Two rows of horizontal brick, bordered with a row of vertical brick below, form a cornice above
the recessed store windows. The original wood -framed transoms, separated from the store windows by a wide molding -trimmed
board, are opaque glass, with matching vents in the center. Plate glass windows, supported by brick bulkheads, are edged in the
original brass frames. Four of the five remaining bays feature plate glass window, while the third from the corner contains a
multi -paned glass and wood door. The north half of the front of the building is a large brick addition. The brick is more modern
in style. The front -facing gabled roof, supported by very large carved brackets, caps a row of plate glass windows. Most of the
north side of the building, facing Main Street, is original. Two bays identical to those on the west facade and a third bay which
has been bricked in occupy the space near the corner. A wood walk-in door, centered with a large window and featuring the
original brass hardware, is located in the center of the long south facade. Three store bays, all with the original brass trimmed
plate glass windows, diagonal windows, centered recessed double doors, and gold brick bulkheads, occupy the rear third of the
south facade. The original opaque transoms run across the top of the second store, while the transoms of the bays on each side are
covered with wood panels. The back of the building, which borders the alley is of painted brick.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Ed Kiser constructed the building about 1925 for Sam Tustin, son of Tustin founder, Columbus Tustin. Harry Kiser operated the
Tustin Cafe here in 1928. Kiseis Tustin Cafe was popular with people going through town on State Highway 101, particularly
with those making their weekend journey to Mexico for liquor during prohibition. Upon the death of Sam Tustin in 1943, title to
the property went to his secretary, Panola D. Logue, who leased the building to Edwin and Leola Cox for their Cox's Grocery,•later
the Tustin Food Center. The Coxs later purchased the building and it is still owned by their son, Phillip K. Cox of Eureka,
California. Other shops in the building have housed a variety of business including Farnsworth Jewelers, Dr. E.J. Ryan's office,
the Fust Church of Christ Scientist (Reading Room), and Western Hair salon in the 80's. One of the most significant commercial
buidings in Tustin, this Neo -Classical building has been somewhat altered on the west facade. Historically it is significant
because of the role it played in the everday lives of Tustin residents and its connections with Ed Kiser and Sam Tustin.

A rich Italianate storefront crowns this small, single -storied building. The front is attached to a front -facing gabled roof which
caps the original 12 -ft -long section. It telescopes from a ca. 1910 front -facing gabled roof which covers the second section.
Various shed -style wings extend from both sides and the back. The storefront features a heavy wood cornice, trimmed in molding
and brackets. Medium -width shiplap siding, trimmed with corner boards, covers the face of the parapet and an ornate cutwork
vent is centered in the top. More cutwork accents the area below the sill, and brackets carry the design up into the cornice line.
The shed -style porch roof shelters two cantilevered store bays, centered with the main entrance door. The door is 1880's in style,
with a large window at the top, apolding-trimmed horizontal panel across the middle, and a pair of matching vertical panels
below. The shop windows, which are not original, are slanted bays, and replace the original double -hung windows at the back of
the bays. A matching 1880's door is in place on the north side. This building is significant because of its age, its original
integrity, and its Italianate architectural details.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Dr. James Sheldon is believed to have had the building constructed for his office. He was Tustin's first physician and the father of
Mrs. C.E. Utt (Mary). Dr James Patton Boyd subsequently used the building as his part-time office, having another office in Santa
Ana. Florence Stone, postmistress from 1920 to 1924, owned the building and lived in the quarters at the rear during the 1920's
and 30's. Mrs. Ernie Crawford operated Crawford's Frock shop there in the 1930's and added the display windows at that time.
Margaret Pottenger rented, and later purchased the building for her clothing shop, the Jabberwocky. She lived in the rear quarters.
During her tenure in the building, 1959 to 1988, she was a leader in the business community and was the first woman to be on the
board of directors of the Tustin Chamber of Commerce. Because of its age, its role as a rare example of a wooden Italianate
storefront, its representation of Tustin's primary settlement period, and its associations with Dr. Shelton, this building appears to
be eligible for the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Mrs. Emma Wheeler and Rev, and Mrs. J. L. Field were the fust owners of this home. Mrs. Wheeler was retired and Rev Fields is
listed as a general evangelist. The house was owned by Benjamin Beswick in the early 1920's, but it does not appear that he lived
here. He was Superintendent of the Tustin School District at that time and lived at Main and B Streets. In 1925 Evelyn and Adam
Lawrence owned the home and resided there. When Mrs. Lawrence died the house went to Edna Swanson, a resident of Newport
Beach. In 1939 James and Edna Watters, a retired couple, bought the house and lived there for several years. The house
contributes to the Tustin Cultural Resources District and is an interesting example of an early Craftsman Bungalow.

brick chimney can be seen near the peak of the roof. The house is clad in stucco, and is bordered with a beltcourse at window sill
height. A recessed porch, framed with three arches, occupies the northeast corner of the front facade, with the stucco -clad railing
capped with wood molding, a continuation of the beltcourse. A double -hung window and two doors look out onto the porch. All
have slightly extended lintels at the top. The doors appear to be original, having plate glass windows in the center and recessed
above and below the windows. The arrangement of the two doors, with the door on the side leading to the front parlour and the
door in the front facade leading to the family quarters, is not unusual for turn of the century houses. Double -hung windows are
used throughout the house, with a screened porch at the back of the house. A gabled lean-to is attached to the back. A single
board -and -batten -clad garage is located in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This house and an identical next door (razed in 1980's) were built in 1905 by Ninian Hall Ritchey for his two sons, Frank and
Arthur. Frank lived in this one briefly. Dale Crawford lived here from 1919 to past 1956. He is variously listed in the directories
as a mechanic at the G. A. Young Garage on Main Street, a fireman (MASSA), a farmer, and a fireman (MCAF).

SIGNIFICANCE:
George Williams bought the corner property from Franklin P. Crawford and built the garage in 1915. The property was sold to La
Fortier Gates in 1916 and operated as the "Arrow Garage", Herman B. Gates, Propr. Gates leased to William Huntley and Nickolas
Gulick in 1917. They operated their "Tustin Garage" (started at 275 C Street in 1915) from the building which they then purchased
in 1919 and owned until 1943. William M. Huntley was elected to Tustin's first city council at the time of incorporation in 1927.
He served as mayor from 1932 to 1940 and was a member of the Volunteer Fire Department. He kept and maintained Tustin's first
fire truck (now on display at the Tustin Area Museum) at this garage. Few pioneers contributed more than Huntley did to the
growth and development of Tustin as a city. Later owner, Barney and Patricia Bryce (1943) and Glen and Virginia Stevens (1950)
continued the operation of a garage on the site until the 1980's. This garage has considerable historic importance to the City of
Tustin because of its former owners and its role in the community.

CITY OF T USTIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
Hidden behind a thick expanse of trees, bushes and plants, on a large piece of property, the single -storied Victorian Eastlake
cottage at 14772 is barely visible from the street. The property is centered through wrought iron gates in the center of a long
arched vine -covered arbor which shelters the driveway. The cottage is to the north of the driveway, with the front facing the south
and the west side facing the street. The gabled roof runs from east to west and the gable faces feature fanci-cut notched wood
shingles and louvered vents (not original). Narrow shiplap siding covers the exterior and the foundation is clad in 1 x 12 boards,
placed vertically. The offset front porch features a shed -style roof, supported by chamfered square posts. An Eastlake -style
railing, with both vertical and horizontal 2 x 2 incised balusters, borders the porch. A pair of matching inverted cross doors,
placed side-by-side, are original and feature molding -framed panels with diagonal corners. A single double -hung window occupies
the space on the west side of the doors while a pair of the same style are located on the east side. A wing, capped by a side -facing
gabled roof, extends from the east side of the house. Double -hung windows are used throughout the house. A clapboard -clad
cottage is located behind the house. A large red barn, clad in the original board -and -batten siding on the side facades, has a
clapboard -clad front facade and a large shed -style addition to the south side. The gable face has been covered with 1 x 12 vertical
board siding, scalloped along the bottom edge. The barn is in good condition and has been painted fairly recently. This property
has changed little in over 50 years. The heavy undergrowth and huge trees provide a view of the type of locally -grown plants and
trees that were popular with Orange County residents many years ago. The house is significant for its original integrity and as a
good example of a pre -tum -of -the -century farmhouse.
SIGNIFICANCE:
In 1889, Anna Clifford deeded the property to Mary J. Clifford, who was listed in the d1901 Directory as a widow. Hans P.
Christensen, a carpenter, acquired title in 1907. According to the 1916 Directory, the household consisted of six Christensens:
Hans and his wife, Emma; George C., a blacksmith; J. Bryan, a student; Madeline D.; and Norman E., a watchman. The 1931
Directory lists only Hans and Emma Christensen at this address. Norman is listed as a carpenter living at 119 North C Street
Frank Logan, followed by his son, Charles Logan and daughter, Florence Marshall, acqured portions of the property begining in
1917. Charles (who was a member of Tustin's fust city council) and his sister owned the house during the 1930's and rented it to
an elderly lady for $16 per month. Elmer Frisbie, a salesman for Sears & Roebuck, owned the house from 1945 to 1947. Louis
B. Guerra acquired title in 1947; his wife, Christine, still lives there. The house cannot be seen from the street because of the
dense shrubbery. This house is one of the few grove houses left from Tustin's primary settlement period. It retains much of its
original integrity. The large piece of property and barn are representative of a lifestyle that has largely disappeared in Orange
County.

windows. Corrugated metal panels and screening cover the rear of the building. By looking at the back one can see that this
property is related to the Utt Juice Co. buildings to the east
SIGNIFICANCE:
Arcy Schellhous had this building constructed in 1935 or 1936 to provide additional storage space for the adjacent Utt Juice
Company. The facade was "dressed up" because it faced Main Street; the other storage sheds to the rear of the plant were of
corrugated metal. The Utt Juice Company closed its doors in 1973, three years after Schellhous died. (See 193 E. Main for further
information.) This building is significant for its associations with the Utt Juice Company and the Utt family. It is one of the few

DESCRIPTION:
The imposing two -storied stucco -clad Ralph House, built in 1929, is a good example of a Spanish Colonial grove house.
T-shaped, with a single -storied wing projecting to the north, the house is topped with a low-pitched red -clay -tile -clad gabled roof.
The low-pitched front -facing gabled wing of the two-story section features close eaves and a round vent near the peak, while the
single -storied wing on the north is clad in a matching side -facing gabled roof. A trio of tall, narrow multi -paned casement
windows, balanced by a pair of wider shutter -accented windows below, is centered in the second -story face of the front facing wing.
A narrow wrought iron balcony accents the trio of windows on the second floor. The front door, located in the center, is recessed
and reached through a covered entry with a shed -style roof which forms a continuation of the main roof. The steps and entry floor
are clad in brick. The door is made of stained rustic wood. A pair of recessed multi -paned windows, flanked by rustic shutters, is
located to the north of the entry. A large arched plate glass window and an enclosed porch are located in the north side. Recessed
multi -paned casement windows are used throughout the rest of the house. A second floor balcony, bordered with square stucco -clad
piers and a plain wood balustrade, is located in the rear, adjacent to the north side of the house. Several new two -storied
buildings, also in the Spanish Colonial style, surround the house on three sides. The house is now a dental office.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The Archibald Ralph House, built in 1929 in the Spanish Colonial style, is a superior example of a Spanish Colonial Revival
grove home. It is now in use as a dentist's office, and additional office buildings, designed in the same style, surround the house.
This large house possesses the characteristics which make it a good representation of the grove homes built by successful
businessmen in the area. This pattern played a major role in the development of Orange County, particularly during the years
between 1900 and 1955. The Ralphs purchased 40 acres from his friend, James Irvine, in 1919, He planted the trees, built the
stable, and developed the property into an income-producing ranch. He continued to work full time at the Orange County
Insurance Agency, founded by him in 1919. He was active in business affairs in Santa Ana. In 1926 he is listed as the Secretary of
the Auto Club of Orange County, the manager of the Auto Indemnity Exchange, the Secretary and General Manager of the Orco
Finance Company, and the owner of the A. S. Ralph Insurance Company. Born in Michigan, he was a Major in the Horse Calvary
during W. W. 1. A talented professional photographer while living in Michigan, he went on to become a civil engineer before he
transferred his interest to the insurance business. He paid $40,000 for the 40 -acre ranch. His interest in horses continued and he
and Louise, his second wife, had a 9 -stall stable and a full time groom/horse trainer. They were prominent in horse show circles
and collected many ribbons and trophies at horse shows held in the Santa Ana Bowl. Mr. Ralph closed his Santa Ana office in
1930, due to declining health and the effects of the Depression, but he continued to run his insurance agency from this home. He
died in 1937 at the age of 56, and his second wife, Louise, whom he married in 1925, lived in the house until she died in 1980.
She maintained the 40 -acre ranch until 1962, when she sold off part of the property for a housing tract. The house remains, set
well back from the street, a symbol of a prosperous, uncrowded agricultural era which began to disappear in the 1950's.

hardware Company in 1913. (Alderman later acquired ownership in 1926). The store became a social center of early Tustin as
people would stop in to chat around the pot-bellied stove after they picked up their mail across the street Alfred Ray Aunger
bought the business about 1935. In 1965, he sold to Betty and Harold Adams, who owned it into the 1980's. This building
appears to be eligible for the National Register on the basis of its architecture, degree of original integrity, associations with the
Utt Juice Company and the Logans, and as a representative of the broad patterns of Orange County's agricultural industry.

CUT Y OF TUSTUN IH[IISTORUCAL SURVEY
Wide shiplap siding covers the exterior of this very old Western Storefront industrial building. A front -facing gabled roof, clad in
corrugatedmetal panels, is attached to the back of the tall, unbroken wooden parapet. The matching show windows on each side
of the centered entrance doors contain four panes each. Molding -trimmed sills and vertical carsiding panels cover the bulkhead
below. Narrow matching windows and bulkheads, placed on the diagonal, flank the doors. Double panes of of glass, set in
wooden doors with chamfered edges around the opening, accent the top 2/3rds of the doors. A diagonal banding of wood and a row
of wooden hobnails, running in the opposite direction, form an "X" in the bottom section. The ornate brass handle appears to be
original. A double transom is located above the doors. The porch floor is wooden and the steps, not original, are concrete. A
lean-to on the east side has an unbroken parapet at the first floor height, and a carsiding-clad freight door near the northeast
comer. The west side of the building is also clad in shiplap, while the east side is covered with corrugated metal. The windows
on the west side include a 2 -over -2 double -hung, a 4 -over -4 double -hung, and 2 small single -paned windows. An inverted cross
door, widy-the original white porcelain knob and keyhole, also occupies the west side.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This building was originally located on the SE corner of Main and El Camino Real, facing Main Street It was moved to its current
location in the 1920's. The earliest owner of record was Harlan Fairbanks (1887) who had a real estate office and, later, a drug
store here. In 1916, Richard Mc Carthy, operated the Tustin Billiard Hall from this building. McCoys' Sheet Metal Works,
established by Harry R. McCoy, and still operated by Curtis McCoy, has occupied the building since 1928. McCoys Sheet Metal
Works made many of the utensils used in the Utt Juice Company. The McCoy Sheet Metal Works building is a rare example of a
Western Falsefront building and retains most of its original integrity. Because of its architecture, its role in the broad patterns of
Tustin history, its contribution to the Utt Juice Company and the agricultural industry, and its associations with important Tustin
citizens, this building appears eligible for the National Register.

brackets, a row of large dentil work, a band of vertical panels, a row of molding, a row of smaller dentil work, and several rows of
molding above the transoms create the horizontal lines of the cornice. The transoms consist of large luxor glass panels. The
double storefront design features centered recessed entrances with diagonal sections leading to the double doors. The storefront on
the east has plate glass panels facing front with a glass diagonal on west side while the east side has been altered with wood
panels. The original bulkheads of both stores have been covered with plain wood panels. The western -most storefront has plate
glass store windows with matching diagonal windows. The east side is constructed of poured -in-place concrete while the west side
has a common wall with another commercial store.. A poured -in-place addition at the back has several blocked -up doors and
window spaces. There are several large corrugated metal sheds that were used to process fruit for the Utt Juice Company. A row of
three sheds faces Prospect. Two of these buildings run from the alley on the west to Prospect Street on the east Similar in size
and design, the buildings are topped with front -facing gabled roofs which are clad in screening at the gables. The roofs and sides
are all clad in corrugated metal sheets. The storefront building, with its elaborate metal cornice and luxor glass transoms, is
significant for its rare and pleasing design, while the juice processing sheds are significant as the location of an industry and
family that was important to Tustin history.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This building, owned by E.E. Utt from 1908 to 1932, originally housed a dry goods store operated by Charles Sauers and Phillip
H. Bergquist. Sauers served on the elementary school board, was elected to the first Tustin Union High School Board of Trustees in
1921, and served as the first clerk of the board. C.E. Utt moved his juice -making operation from his back porch at home into the
building about 1920. Utt was one of Tustin's major developers, buying land and preparing it for use, then selling it. Besides
founding the Utt Juice Company, Utt was a director in both the Bank of Tustin and the First national Bank of Tustin, owner of the
Tustin Water Works (1897), instrumental in forming the Tustin Union High School District (1920), developer of Lemon Heights,
rancher, and was a partner with Sherman Stevens and James Irvine in developing agriculture on the Irvine Ranch and establishing
the San Joaquin Fruit Company. His son, James "Jimmy" Utt served as Tustin's representative in congress during the 1930's and
40's. Arcy Schellhous, who helped establish the Utt Juice Company bought Utt out around 1932 and was the sole owner until his
death in 1970. The company closed its doors in 1973.

CITY OF T USTIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
This lovely Queen Anne cottage, with its intricate detailing and fanciful tower has been one of Tustin's favorite residences since it
was constructed in 1887. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was restored as an office building in 1981.
It is a superior example of Queen Anne architecture. The house originally stood among several acres of avocado and orange trees.
Several office buildings, a gazebo, a garden, and a pergola now exist where the grove was located. However, a row of specimen
trees and plants along the west side has been preserved and the expansive front lawn retained. Wide shiplap siding covers the
exterior of the grey and white house. The roofscape features a truncated hipped roof, a tower, two pedimented gables, a heavy
cornice with enclosed eaves and a frieze decorated with a row of rosettes. The original wrought iron cresting borders the truncated
section and the turret, while wood cresting runs along the tops of the gables. Medallions, set in a wide ban&ring the center of the
turret. Carved brackets accent the corners and the turret. A narrow band, accented with a cutout bracket shape at each corner, runs
below the frieze. A row of molding trimmed horizontal panels, two bands of vertical molding -trimmed panels, rosettes, brackets,
and vertical rows of half -round molding decorate the turret, and five tall, narrow double -hung windows look out onto the front
lawn. The shed -style porch roof is centered with a small pedimented gable with enclosed eaves, molding trim, and a finial.
Elaborate turned posts, accented with rosettes, support the porch roof. The railing is made of squares with circular cutouts in the
center and separates with round balusters. Brackets and pierced work accent the porch frieze. The same style railing is used on
each side of the wooden steps, ending at carved newel posts. The front doors are centered with rare etched glass with a red
background. Cranes and water plants set the theme. The gabled wing to the east of the porch is topped by a pedimented gable
with enclosed eaves. A large horizontal stationary window, edged with a border of stained glass squares, is centered below the
gable. A couple of rows of pierced and cutwork between that window and a large plate glass window centered in the square bay
below. Narrow double -hung windows occupy the sides of the bay. A similar bay is located in the center of the west side and

SIGNIFICANCE:
This well preserved Victorian house was built in 1887 by City pioneer Sherman Stevens for his bride Martha Snow. The house was
designed by architects Costerigan and Merithew of Los Angeles and built of redwood shipped from Eureka, Ca. Sherman Stevens
became a very wealthy and influential man. He invested in various business ventures in town, including the J.E. Curry store in the
old Tustin Building. In a partnership with Ed Utt and James Irvine, he developed orange and walnut groves on the first 1000 acres
of the Irvine Ranch to be developed for agricultural purposes. The three partners also organized the San Joaquin Fruit Company.
Stevens and Utt developed Lemon Heights. Stevens was a very refined man who traveled widely, bringing plants, birds, and
artifacts home from around the world. His large aviary of exotic birds were the site of field trips for many Tustin teachers and his
extensive collection of paintings is now housed at Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. After the death of Martha Stevens in 1948, the
house was inherited by their son, Horace, a prominent orchardist. It was sold in the late 1970's to the Douglas Gfeller
Construction Company, which developed an office complex called Stevens Square, and saved the original house for use as an
office. This fine Victorian is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

SIGNIFICANCE:
A local rancher Samuel W. Suddaby, is believed to have built the house in 1919. His grandson, Cecil, who worked at Smart &
Final grocers and owned a large orange grove on the west side of Newport Avenue at First Street, inherited the house but did not
live in it. The Craftsman styling of this house makes it a good contributor to the Tustin Cultural Resources District and to the
Craftsman theme of this block of Main Street In addition, the house is significant for its associations with the Suddaby family.

ROCK HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:
CITY OF TUSTIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
Although the house shown above was built in 1950, it is included here because it is unique and represents a personal statement of
the owner -builder. The owner has covered all sides of the house and garage with rocks of many colors collected during his travels
as an engineer in the Rocky Mountain States. The main hipped roof is fronted with a large front -facing gabled roof, clad in
vertically -placed boards with a scalloped edge along the bottom. Horizontal louvered venting accents the peak. A large plate
glass window, flanked by narrow double -hung sidelights, is centered in the front wing. The entrance is in the west side of the
wing and is sheltered in a recessed entryway. It is hidden from view by an openweave screen made of rocks. A rather imposing
chimney, also clad in rocks, adorns the southeast corner. The garage, located in the back yard, matches the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This unusual house covered by rocks was built by Struan Robertson who purchased this property in 1947 from Clara Macomber,
who, at one time, owned most of the block. A civil engineer, Robertson had collected the rocks from the central and Rocky
Mountain sites as he worked at various jobs. The rocks cover the house and chimney and are even used on the sidewalk and
curbing. This is a Tustin landmark of the future and has associations with the field of geology.

A truncated gabled roof, in a "T" shape crowns the two -storied home shown above. Narrow shiplap siding, accented at the corners
with unusual beaded trim boards, covers the exterior. The trim boards are cut in a bracket shape at the top. The attention to detail
exhibited in the design of this house is remarkable. Because of the stickwork in the gable faces, it is classified as Victorian
Stick. The double front -facing and side -facing gables are decorated with fishscale shingles, arch -shaped bargeboards, teardrops and
rosettes. Rows of pierced work, in an arrow pattern add a strong horizontal line below the gables. A single double -hung window
in the second floor and a pair of matching windows, sheltered by a shed -style hood, occupy the front wing. A secondary gable,
with a similar design, caps the front facade above the second story. Double -hung windows are used throughout the second floor.
The original door, accented with a large plate glass window, is surrounded by a three -sectioned transom and sidelights. The porch
roof is supported by elaborate turned posts, ornamented with a pierced frieze and carved brackets. The railing is made of turned
balusters. The steps are now red brick. A matching porch on the east side leads to the entrance on that side. The original door,
topped with a multi -paned glass window and accented at the bottom with ornate recessed panels, leads to the interior. Double -hung
windows with ornamented lintels, flank the door. A single -storied wing on the back of the east side contains a row of casement
windows. Latticework encloses the back porch and a matching gazebo and carport are located close by. A large red two -storied
barn with shiplap siding and newer wood doors sits near the back of the property. This house sits on a large lot, surrounded by
specimen trees and plants, and is reached by a circular driveway. It is one of the finest Victorian Stick homes in Orange County.
SIGNIFICANCE:
George C. Case purchased the 96' x 333' lot for $1920 in 1887 and built the house of redwood. Edmond J. Cranston and his wife,
Vinnie, were owners from 1913 to 1917. Edmond was a banker, who reopened the Bank of Tustin, renaming it First National Bank
of Tustin. Charles Vance purchased both the house and Cranston's interest in the bank in 1917 and the house remained in the
Vance family until 1972. Charles Mitchell, owner 1972-1985, was a teacher and principal with the Tustin Elementary School
district from the 1950's into the 1980's. Because of the fine architectural design of this house, the rarity of the Stick style in
Orange County, and the associations with the Cranstons and the Vances, this house appears to be eligible for the National
Register.

Narrow shiplap siding covers the exterior of this two -storied Queen Anne house which sits far back on a large lot on Tustin's Main
Street. A circular driveway curves in front of the house. Although the second story and front porch have been somewhat altered as
the result of a fire, the house still retains most of its Victorian character. An elongated hipped roof, with enclosed eaves and an
offset brick chimney near its center, crowns the second floor. The single -story wrap-around porch runs across the front of the
house and down the west side. Double -hung windows, in pairs and singles, line the second floor and are flanked with shutters. A
large plate glass window on the east side is topped with a diamond -paned transom. A high stationary horizontal window, bordered
with cutwork along the bottom, is located on the west side of the front door. The door, which appears to be original, is centered
with a plate glass window in the top and ornamented with recessed panels, molding, and rosettes. The porch roof is supported by
wooden posts and a railing with criss-cross balusters connects the posts. A pair of 6 -over -6 double -hung windows and a pair of
plain double -hung windows are used on the east side. A large second floor balcony is located in the back, above a single -story
wing. Vertical carsiding covers the foundation. A double garage, capped with a side -facing gable roof and featuring carsiding-clad
doors, is located behind the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
George C. Case bought the property from Harriette N. Kellom in 1887, paying $1920 for the 96' x 333' lot, and is believed to
have built the house, which is constructed of solid redwood. Early pictures of the house show a wrap-around porch with a turned
wood balustrade. Alonzo R. Kendell, who lived at 420 West Main, bought the property around 1890 and the two houses remained
together under various owners until 1913. Mary H. Bardin, owner 1902 to 1920, was an accomplished horsewoman, who rode in
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, and lost a leg in an equestrian accident. Elizabeth and/or Archie Robinson owned and lived in
the house from 1920 to 1945. Paul and Martha Snow have owned the house since 1945. The Snow Chapel at the Advent Christian
Church is named after Paul Snow's grandmother, Cynthia Snow. This house has much historical significance because of its
associations with George Case, Mary Bardin, the Robinsons and the Snows, all important to Tustin history. The alterations, in
particular the loss of the porch railing, might preclude the house from being eligible for the National Register.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The house was originally built as an annex to the house at Main and El Camino Real (current site of the Knights of Pythias
building) and was relocated to this site in 1920. The Utt family, who built the house, owned a large store on the SW corner of
Main and El Camino Real. Minnie Childs (owner 1920 to 1943) until her marriage to Perry Lewis, around 1928. She was
well-known for her art and literary works; was active in civic, club, and social affairs of the community; and was a charter member
of the Laguna Beach Art Association. The house is significant for its Colonial Revival styling. Because it has been on this site
since 1920 this can be considered its historic location. It is also significant for its association with the Utt family.

triple garage is centered with the original paneled wood doors with carsiding accents and 2 rows of medallions. The architectural
elements featured in the design of this house combine to make it a fine example of English Tudor Revival.
SIGNIFICANCE:
A surveyor, Roy C. Browning had builder William Bowman construct this English Tudor style house in 1930. The family lived
here into the sixties. Because of its architectural integrity it is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in Orange

The oldest church in Tustin, the original front section of this rectangular church building is illustrative of the basic style built by
Orange County pioneers. A steeply -pitched front -facing gabled roof, crowned with an octagonal tower and matching steeple, caps
the building and features enclosed eaves with a narrow overhang. The bell tower has been enclosed with louvered venting and
blank wood panels. Shiplap siding covers the exterior and the base of the tower. The cornice of the tower is trimmed with dentil
work. A large arch -topped stained glass window, featuring a pastoral scene with Jesus in the center, is centered in the front facade.
The entrance is located on the east facade, very close to the front of the building. A pair of wooden double doors is centered in an
entry accented with large rectangular panels of wood on each side. A row of 20 -over -20 stained glass windows, topped with heavy
wood cornices, runs down each side. The rectangles of glass are in muted colors. A diamond -paned stained glass window is
located near the front of the west side, and is flanked by the same type of large wood panels as are used on each side of the main
entrance. A large two -storied addition on the back uses the same shiplap siding as the older building. Its front -facing gabled roof
telescopes northward from the front building . A few 21 -over -21 windows are present on the first floor. 6 -over -6 windows, used
singly and in groups of two or three, are featured on the second floor. Hooded dormers, which reach down into the second story,
also contain 6 -over -6 windows. Flat -roofed porticos, supported by wood posts, are centered on both the east and west sides of the
addition. A modern addition has been added to the back of the historic building and its historic addition. There have been some
changes to the front building through the years. The 10 -foot front section, including the steeple, was added in the 1930's and the
flagstone around its foundation in the 1950's. Because of its age, its architectural integrity, and its representation of the typical
early 0870-1900) Orange County .Church, this building is probably eligible for the National Register.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The First Advent Christian Church is the oldest continuously active Protestant church in Orange County occupied by its original
denomination. The Church, which was organized in December, 1880, built this building in 1881 which has been in continuous use
by that denomination ever since. Two of the original pews, which were shipped around the Horn in the 1880's remain in ;use. The
sanctuary is in the original building. The foyer and steeple were added in the early 1930's and the classroom and meeting buildings
were constructed in 1935. The church was organized in the home of Caroline Downs and Virgil Hunt was the first pastor. Original
members of the church include many of the City's prominent pioneer families such as Utt, Warner,McFadden, Tustin, Shatto,
Downs, Squires, Hanson, and Bowman. This building appears to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in the
categories of architecture, broad patterns of Tustin history and persons prominent in the City's history.
The church is an Orange County Point of Historical Interest.

than it appears from the street, and is situated on a deep lot, dotted with mature trees and plantings. Carved brackets accent the
enclosed eaves of the truncated roof. Double -hung windows, topped with molding -trimmed. peaked lintels, flank the front door.
Carved brackets accent the bottom of the window sills on all of the windows. The wood -paneled front door, with a cast iron grill
at eye level, is elaborately trimmed in molding. An arched portico, supported by large ornate brackets, shelters the front door.
The brick steps and wrought iron railing are not original. A square bay occupies the eastern -most half of the front facade, and is
centered with a pair of tall, narrow double -hung windows in the front and a single matching window in each side. Carved brackets
trim the roofline. A matching bay is located on the west side. The west side also is graced by a red brick chimney, flanked by a
pair of double -hung windows. A wing on the back of the house matches the front portion, except for a multi -paned multi -framed
window on the west side. This is one of a handful of homes of this age and style remaining in Orange County and is illustrative
of the homes built by the early pioneers between 1870 and 1885.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Caroline Downs reportedly lived here for two years, after having the house built in 1888. She was instrumental in the organization
of the First Advent Christian Church. Her children were George, Cynthia, Elva, and Henrietta, who married P.T. Adams. Cynthia
married Hiram K.Snow and after she died, Hiram Snow married her sister, Elva. The Snow chapel at the Advent Church was named
.in memory of Cynthia. A wholesale seed grower, Edwin M. Haven and son, Lawrence, lived here in the 1910's. Edwin established
the Haven Seed Company in Santa Ana. William and Grace Leinberger owned the property from 1920 to the 1970's. He worked as
cashier at the First National Bank of Tustin for 50 years and was also a volunteer fireman. This house is significant for its
associations with several prominent Tustin residents: the Downs family, the Havens, and the Leinbergers. Additionally it is

gabled dormer, centered with an arched double -hung window, extends from the front facade of the roof. A pedimented cornice

windows facing the sides. The original pair of double screen doors, accented by a molding -trimmed edge, leads to a short space
between the screen doors and the double front doors. The diagonal molding -trimmed corners of the screen are indicative of early
1880's architectural detailing. A large single -paned arched transom is located above. Three pillars and two pilasters, accented with
molding -trimmed capitals and bases, support the porch. There is no railing. A single -storied square bay, which matches the one
on the west side of the front facade, is located at the south end of the east facade. Two pairs of double -hung windows, one on the
first floor and one on the second, are located below the gable in the east facade. The property is large and there are several
specimen trees surrounding the house. The shiplap-sided garage, located on the east side, was designed to match the house, but
was built many years later. The side -facing gabled roof features a front -facing gable on the west end. A pair of arched
double -hung windows has been placed below the gable face. A pair of shiplap-clad garage doors sit side-by-side in the
eastem-most half of the front facade. This house is very rare, as there are only a handful of homes of this style in all of Orange
County. It exhibits much attention to architectural details, retains almost all of its integrity and was undoubtedly one of the
finest homes built locally during the 1880's.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Nelson Vanderlip, a banker, built the house about 1883, on a 20 -acre parcel on the south side of Main Street, across from its
present location. The property was acquired by Horatio Augustus Allen in 1903, and later became the home of his son Lucius.
Allen owned orange groves on the west side of Glen Ave (now the Costa Mesa Freeway) at Main Street. Charles Eelles, owner
1961 to 1985, moved the house across Main Street to property that had been in his mother's family since 1905. (The heirs of J.
O. Preble, one of Tustin's earliest pioneers.) by moving the house, it was saved from demolition when the Santa Ana and Costa
Mesa Freeways were built. The remainder of the original property became Tustin Acres, an apartment/condominium complex.. This
rare example of Italianate architecture retains almost all of its architectural integrity and all of its fine details. In addition, its
associations with Nelson Vanderlip, a prominent local rancher, and Horatio Allen add significance to the house. However, it must
be rated as a B because it has been moved relatively recently from an agricultural setting to an urban setting.

SIGNIFICANCE:
D. M. Forney and his wife, Ida, owned all of the lots on the east side of Mountain View when the tract was opened in 1923. The
subdivision was called Mountain View Gardens. In 1924 this lot was purchased by Cyrus Newman and his wife, Elizabeth. The
Newmans were ranchers who owned property on First Street, but built this home as their "town home". Cyrus O. Newman and his
wife, Frances, also lived at the home. Cyrus O. was a carpenter in 1925, but later worked at a citrus packing house. In 1929 the
Newmans moved to Orange and Gladys and Ernest Watson bought the house. They were in the investment and real estate business.
Two years later the Watsons moved to 124 Yorba Street, .but continued to own the home on Mountain View for several years. In
1946 Ernest Dargatz of Anaheim bought the house, selling it to George Henry Cobb that same year. John Whisenand and his wife,
Rhoda, were the new owners in 1949 and continued to live in the home for several years. Mr. Whisenand was in U. S. Marine
Corps. The house is a good example of a Craftsman Bungalow and the design of the three matching front -facing gables adds
interest to the front facade through the use of a significant character -defining Craftsman architectural element. The house is
significant for its architecture and its associations with the Newman family.

Logan who remain as owners to the present. Charles served as deputy sherrif and assistant marshall and was on Tustin's first City
Council, serving from 1927 to 1942. Frances worked for the First National Bank of Tustin for many years and was recently

SIGNIFICANCE:
Alice Albee sold the land for this bungalow to Dwight and Esther Hayden in 1925. Within a year they had built the house and
settled down to stay for 16 years. Mr. Hayden was a driver for the Shell Oil Company. Max Vakerspurchased the house in 1942
and owned it only a year before selling it to Palmerio Chessa. Four years later Vergil and Doris Tibbets, who owned a produce
store at 408 S. Main in Santa Ana, purchased the home. By 195lWilber and Thelma Dolly were the owners. He was a general
inspector at the Lighter -Than _Air (blimp) Base. This bungalow is one of several which contribute to the historic streetscape of
the Tustin Historic District

C= OF TUSTUN HUSTORUCAL SURVEY
This Spanish Colonial duplex is located on the corner of Main and Myrtle, with one entrance on Main and one on Myrtle. A flat
roof and unbroken parapet, edged with a row of red clay tile, cap the "H" -shaped building.Matching plate glass windows, with
plain transoms, sheltered by stucco hoods clad in red clay rile and supported by wood brackets, are located in both front wings, in
the center of the wings, and on the south side of the entry porch on the west side. The Main Street • entrance porch occupies the
space in the comer of the ell, against the western -most froet-facing wing, while the Myrtle Street entrance is in the center of the
east facade. Red -clay -tile -clad front -facing roofs, with close eaves, cap the porches, which also feature arched openings and
entrances. A pair of small, double -hung windows is located on the north side of the Myrtle Street entrance porch.
SIGNIFICANCE:
John Rinard, a building contractor living on Pasadena Avenue with his wife, Ermina, purchased this lot and built this Spanish
Colonial duplex in 1926. It was purchased immediately by Mrs. Effie Slusser. She was the widow of Bayard Slusser, and at that
time was a teacher at Tustin High School. She had former lived with the Fred Preble family a block to the east. By 1927 she had
transferred to Tustin Grammar School. She lived in one side of the duplex until she died in 1946. Robert and Esther Kneeland
bought the building in 1947. He was a lawyer for the S. T. I and G Company. Two years later he had become a Deputy District
Attorney for Orange County and had moved to Hewes Avenue in Santa Ana. Samuel G Borum purchased the duplex and moved into
the Myrtle Street side. He was a clerk for C. A. Cleary Co., a sporting goods store at 365 D Street in Tustin. Although this
building is probably not significant on its own, it does contribute to the character of the Tustin Historic District, and is of an
appropriate size and scale for Myrtle Street.

DESCRIPTION:
This large multi-level Spanish Colonial Revival house, clad in stucco, used to be reached by a road from the east, but the freeway
caused the entrance to be changed to the northwest side of the house. The central core is three -storied and topped by a
red -clay -tile -clad hipped roof. Rustic beam ends accent the eaves. Pairs of three -light casement windows look out from all three
stories. Stucco hoods shelter the tops of many of the windows on the fust and second floors. A pair of french doors, looking out
onto a balcony with a rusticated wood railing, occupy the northwest corner. A gable -roofed single -storied wing can be seen on the
south side of the main section. An arcade, enclosed with multi -paned windows and french doors, runs along the east and north
facades. A long, low red -clay -tile -clad gabled roof caps a wing which extends to the east, and forms a link between the main
section and a single -storied arched opening on the east. A hexagonal stucco -clad tower, with a matching low-pitched red -tile -clad
roof, anchors the east end of the house. A clapboard -clad residence and garage are located across the driveway, to the north. This
house is significant because it is a unique example of Spanish Colonial architecture and the fine attention to detail.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Although this house appears much older, an obituary (June ll, 1980) about Harold Gimeno mentions that "He also was termed an
old-fashioned architect because he designed the homes he lived in. One of these houses, a Mediterranean -styled mansion on
Nisson Street in Tustin, was built in 1946 and is still occupied by family members." An advocate of the economical approach to
public buildings, Gimeno was credited with the design of more than 50 buildings in Orange County, including the imposing Santa
Ana Public Library on Civic Center Drive and Ross. He designed Valley High School, the present St. Joseph's Church in Santa
Ana, the Medical Center Building on 17th in Santa Ana, St. Timothy's marble -domed cathedral in Los Angeles, and at least two
dozen schools from Blythe to Fortuna. He received his education at the University of Oklahoma and Harvard University. He is
credited with founding the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma in 1927. He was an accomplished landscape
artist, violinist and pianist as well. He often became involved in the buildings he designed. He donated the very large European
painting hanging at the west end of the main room of the Santa Ana Library and painted the ship portrait hanging at the east end.
This home is significant for its association with Mr. Gimeno and for its unique architectural style.

SIGNIFICANCE:
William Bowman, a prominent Tustin building contractor, built this bungalow and the one next door at 150 Pacific in 1925.
Like most of his neighbors, he had purchased the property from Alice Albee in the mid -1920's. R. O and Estelle Ferris, who lived
in Laguna Beach, bought the house from William Bowman soon after it was constructed, for use as a rental. The Bowman family
held the mortgage for several years. In 1934 John Dunstan, who owned several pieces of residential rental property in the old
section of Tustin, purchased the property. Gordon and Margaret Everson were the new owners in 1935. His occupation is listed
as "driver'. A retired couple, Amos and Christine Cox, owned and resided in the house from 1946 until 1954, when it was sold to
Florence and Conway Coate. He was a sheetmetal worker by trade. Although this house is not large, it is representative of the
many single -storied bungalows which line the streets of the Tustin Historic District.

the driveway. The original matching garage, with car -siding -clad doors, is located at the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This house is located on the back portion of four lots purchased by John McFadden from John and Sarah Alley in 1901. At that
time Mr. McFadden owned a Santa Ana store specializing in hardware, guns, ammunition, tennis goods, and baseball goods. He
built a house on the comer, facing First Street and opened an insurance office in his home. He died in 1920, and his wife, Freda,
sold the house to Lester and Myrtie Keever. They sold a lot facing Pacific to Ellen Howes (widow John D.) and she built this
house in 1924. She was a fruit picker. She continued to live in the house until 1957, when Peter and Agnes Koford, a retired
couple, purchased the residence. In 1958 the house was sold to Burt Huff. Although probably not significant on its own, this
home contributes to the historic streetscape of the Tustin Historic District.

Stucco now covers the exterior of the clapboard -clad single -storied California Bungalow at 150. It is a twin to the one on the
north at 140, and has a smooth finish more like that used on houses fifty or sixty years ago. The low-pitched roof features
side -facing gables and an offset front -facing porch gable. 6 -inch -wide boards, placed vertically, occupy the gable faces. Square
columns, sitting on stepped stucco -clad piers, support the porch roof. Double -hung windows, in pairs and singles, are used

SIGNIFICANCE:
Constructed by William Bowman in 1925, this bungalow is very similiar in design to the one next door at 140. Bowman, who
arrived in Tustin in 1881, was a pioneer in the fruit -growing industrry. He went into the ranching business in 1887, with
apricots, walnuts, and oranges as his primary crops. He owned 20 acres of land and leased additional property. E. A. Drake owned
the house from 1925 until 1934 and appears to have maintained it as rental property. He sold it to John Dunstan, who lived on
17th Street near Prospect, and it continued to be in use as a rental unit In 1939 Edward and Mary Fuller, a retired couple from
Santa Ana, purchased the house andmoved in to stay for several years. These bungalows, though probably not significant on their
own, contribute to the historic fabric of the Tustin Historic District.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The Fewell family built this Craftsman Bungalow on 1.75 acres in 1915. Anderson Fewel (note the single 1" used in 1889)
originally purchased the property in 1893, building a house on the Second Street side of the parcel. Anderson had two sons,
William and Edward, and two daughters, one of whom was named Mildred. William, a farmer, passed away soon after he built this
house. His wife, Alice, lived here until the mid -1920's when she moved around the corner to the original family home on Second.
She sold this house to ranchers John and Sadie Thompson in 1925 and they lived in the house for 22 years. In 1947 Leslie and
Minnie Sorenson, also ranchers, purchased the residence and lived there until 1956. At that time Virgil and Arleta Pringle bought
the house and stayed for several years. He was the owner of VeE. Pringle Termite Control Company in Santa Ana. Although
probably not significant on its own, the house does contribute to the historic streetscape of the Tustin Historic District and is one
of several good Craftsman Bungalows built during the Teens, a significant growth period for Tustin. It is also significant for its
connections with a pioneer area ranching family, the Fewells.

Alice Albee sold the land for this house to Floyd and Daisy Turner in 1925. The Santa Ana Improvement Company, whose
president was William F. Croddy, was in charge of construction. Their office was at 801 W. Third Street in Santa Ana. Floyd
Turner was a foreman for the Tustin Lemon Association and lived on Holt Ave. in Tustin before moving to this house. In 1927 he
became a foreman for the Central Lemon Association packing house. The Turners lived in the house until 1945, when the property
was purchased by Roy and Elsie Combs. Roy, who was a carpenter, used the house as rental property. John and Bessie Atchison
owned and lived in the house from 1946 until 1949. Earl and Lillian Rowenhorst were the next owners of the Spanish Colonial

Clarence W. Sheats, who was in the real estate business in Tustin and Santa Ana in the 1880's, 90's and early 1900's, sold three
lots to B. F. Maxon in 1889. Mr. Maxon sold the lots (1.75 acres total) to the Fewel family, who owned it until 1923. Anderson
Fewel (note the single "1") was the fust of the family to own the property and he passed it to his sons, William and Ed Fewell.
By 1915, the second "1" had been added to the name. Walter and Jessie Craig, who built the house in 1923, moved in in 1924. He
was a painter for the C. F. Mitchell Company. They moved to Santa Ana in 1932 and Amelia Truitt was the new owner of the
house. She sold the house to Beulah Langdon Bernier. Jerome Kidd, who lived at 124 North B Street and operated an auto repair
shop at 305 West First Street, owned the house for a short time in 1943. He was a Tustin Councilman in the 1940's and served as
Tustin's Mayor. James and Maude McKee, who were retired, bought the house in 1944. Mr. McKee died in 1948 and his family
continued to live in the house for over 20 years. Although this bungalow is not architecturally significant on its own, it does
contribute to the Tustin Cultural Resources District.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The first transaction regarding the division of this land from the large parcel owned by Alice Albee in 1922 was the sale of lots
25 and 27 to Clifford Prunty, who built a house on lot 25 (190 S. Pacific). In 1923, Alice Albee resold the property to A.C.
Newell. He, in return, sold it to George Brown in 1925. William Satterwhite purchased the house and lot in 1926 and moved in
with his wife, Louise, in 1929. This house appears to be much older than the 1920's, and was probably moved there some time
after 1922. The Satterwhites owned a cesspool business in Tustin for several years, and had previously lived at 420 W. Second
Street. In 1937, three years after William died, Louis sold the house to Orville Northrup. At that time the Northrups lived at 416
Wilshire in Santa Ana and was a teacher in the Costa Mesa School District. He went on to become the Principal at Tustin high
School. It appears that he bought this house as an investment. In 1947 he sold it to George Huffman. Elizabeth Duvall owned in
the 1950's and it was a rental. There are few examples of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture in Tustin. This house contributes

Capped by a high hipped roof, the Dutch Colonial Revival bungalow on the corner of Pacific and Third Street features eye-catching
gambrel -shaped corner -facing gables which shelter the recessed screened porch in the southeast comet. A matching gabled dormer,
centered with two windows, is located in the center of the front facade. A red brick chimney extends from the center of the hipped
roof. Elaborate carved triangular brackets and exposed beam ends accent the roof line. The top two-thirds of the house is clad in
narrow clapboard siding while the bottom third is clad in natural -color manufactured stone. The front steps and piers match the
foundation. A plate glass window, topped with a plain transom and flanked by double -hung sidelights, is located to the north of
the porch. This matches an identical bay on the south facade, behind the porch. A concrete porch and manufactured stone
foundation run the length of the south side. Small double -hung windows and the back door are located at the southwest corner. A
barn, constructed of 1 x 12 lumber and topped with a front -facing gabled roof, can be seen at the back, facing Third Street. It still
has its original wooden doors which slide on a metal track. This house gains significance as one of the few Dutch Colonial
Revival homes in Tustin.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Godfrey F. Andriest purchased the southeastern part of this block in 1909 and, reportedly, built his house and set out walnut trees.
he and his wife were German musicians; he taught violin, she taught piano. Joseph S. Hansell has been the owner since 1943.
The Dutch Colonial Revival styling of this bungalow is unique. The house possesses almost all of its original integrity even
though the porch has been screened. The manufactured stone foundation is rare in Tustin, although it was popular in other Orange

DESCRIPTION:
Clad in stucco, the single -storied Spanish Colonial Revival building shown here has had a new gabled roof, clad in red clay tile,
installed in place of the original. Although this is a major alteration, it is marginally in keeping with Spanish Colonial
architecture. The ornate carved brackets which support the porticos on the north, south, and east sides and the mullioned window
pattern are important design elements. Red clay tile was used on the porticos and on hoods above the windows on the east side.
The windows and doors are decorated at the top and bottom with narrow borders and square corners of glass, with a pair of panels
filling in the area between the borders. A pair of these windows flank the matching door, topped by a red -clay -tile clad portico,
on the north side. The open porch is concrete, bordered with wrought iron railings. A recessed porch on the east side is sheltered
by a red -clay -tile -clad roof and bordered with a wrought iron railing. A trio of matching casement windows is located on the north
side of the porch and a row of high single -paned casement windows occupies the south side. Jalousied sidelights (not original)
flank the door. Another red -clay -tile -clad portico, with matching brackets, shelters the door on the south facade. A small
stucco -clad house, topped with a flat roof, is located behind the main house. The front door is accented with a large window in the
center and flanked by an arched plate glass window on the north and a wrought iron gate, set in an arched stucco -clad frame, on the
south side. A small stucco -clad garage, with a flat roof and plain wood garage doors, is located to the south of the small house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Edmond Kiser acquired the property in 1924, when Pacific Street south of Main was opened. He was a builder by trade and
probably built the house. He served as a volunteer fireman and, in 1927, he was elected to Tustin's first city council. William
Otis, president of Santa Ana Finance Co., owned the property from 1926 to 1929, but he probably did not live there. Fred
Schwendeman owned the house from 1929 to 1946 and lived here into or through the thirties. He was a partner in the Tustin
Cement Pipe Company and in charge of field and installation work. The company produced an average of 2500 lineal feet of pipe
per day, and employed 30 to 60 men. A recognized authority on cement piping, Schwendeman supervised the installation of the
Irvine Company's network of irrigation pipelines. He served as Commissioner of Health and Safety on Tustin's first City Council
from 1927 to 1937, and was a Volunteer Fireman, a member of the Knights of Pythias, and a member of the Lions Club.
Subsequent owners were: Leslie W. Bennett (1946-52), a superintendent of William Iverson, oil distributors in Santa Ana; and
Edwin A. Veeh (1952-1965+), a science teacher at Tustin High School. Note: The address given in the directories was 600 W.
Main. The house was given a new roof in 1987. Instead of replacing the flat roof (surrounded by a tile -topped parapet), a pitched
tile roof was added, which changed the looks of the house considerably. The major architectural alteration to the roof is not
compatible with.the original character of the house; for this reason the house is categorized as a C. However, it is significant for
its associations with Edmund Kiser, Fred Schwendeman and Edwin Veeh.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The property on which this early subdivision was originally plotted belonged to the Marple family from 1903 until 1925.
Richard Marple and his wife, Edna, had an orchard on this property. In 1924 their son. Harry Howard Marple, had Pacific Street
extended from Main to Sixth by building a road through the middle of the orchard. He then sold individual lots to persons
wanting to build a new home. Matthew and Emma Dixon bought this particular lot and moved here from North Broadway in Santa
Ana when the house was finished in 1925. After Emma died in 1931, the house was sold to Frank and Ethel Chapman. In 1937
Harold and Gladys Carson bought the property. He ran a service station at Third and D Streets in Tustin until 1965. Harry and
Gladys McCoy bought the house in 1945. They were the owners of the McCoy Sheet Metal Works, a long-established and
well-respected sheet metal shop. They lived here here through the 1950's. Gladys McCoy sold the house to Willie Turner at that
time. Although perhaps not architecturally significant on its own, this bungalow is contributes to the historic streetscape of the
Tustin Historic District. The association with the McCoys and the Marples adds to the importance of the home.

garage, which appears to be original, is topped with a gabled roof with a hip at the peak. The siding is narrow clapboard, which
seems to indicate that the house once was also all clapboard -sided with a hip at the peak of the front -facing gabled roof.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This California Bungalow was built on one of the lots along South Pacific Street which were subdivided by Harry Marple. He
was the son of Richard and Edna Marple, fruit growers, who owned an orchard on this property from 1903 until the property
passed to Harry in 1924. He dedicated a strip down the center, from Main to Sixth Streets, for the extension of Parc Street.
He sold this lot to George Gaylord in 1929. The Gaylords received a completion notice on their home that same year. George was
a well -liked wood shop and physical education instructor at the Tustin Grammer School for several years. After he retired in the
1950's, he became a carpenter. The Gaylords were still living in the house in 1965. This bungalow fits well into the streetscape
of the Tustin Historic District and contributes to the tree -lined street because it, is of an appropriate size and scale.

Harry Marple was the developer of the 1924 subdivision that created the extension of Pacific Street from Main to Sixth and
provided lots for a row of new homes to be built along each side. Harry was the son of Richard and Edna Marple, fruit growers
who had an orchard on this site from 1903 until 1924. In 1916 Harry is listed as a grocer with a store in Santa Ana. During the the
1920's and 30's he, and his wife, Dora, owned a ranch at Greenville Road in Santa Ana Gardens, 3 and 1/2 miles southwest of Santa
Ana. In 1930 Harry's son, Floyd Marple, sold this corner lot to Robert and Evelyn Korff. Mr. Korff was a teacher at Tustin High
School during the 1930's. In 1946 the Korffs moved to a ranch at 13148 Foothill, but retained this property as a rental. Evelyn
Korff died in 1949. An attractive Spanish Colonial Revival home, the Korff House contributes to the streetscape of the Tustin

CARRIAGE HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:
Q:TT Y OF TUSTUN IHHUSTORUCAL SURVEY
The carriage house, which belongs to the large home on the same property at 310 A Pasadena, has been altered several times.
Unless the alterations are reversed, the building is more significant for its historical importance than its architectural integrity.
The roof is flat, with an enclosed cornice and the exterior is now clad in stucco. The 2 -over -2 double -hung windows, which are
typical of those used in the 1870's and 80's, are used throughout the building. Two are centered in the front facade, second floor.
A small single -paned window can be seen on the north side, near the eaves. The original carriage door has been replaced with
aluminum sliding glass doors, an alteration that would be easy to reverse. As part of a National Register application for the main
house, this building would probably qualify for that listing. However, it does not appear to be eligible on its own unless the
alterations are reversed.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The original use of this building is believed to be a stage stop, as evidenced by a Tustin Area museum photo of an open
horse-drawn stage in front of the house. Charles Wheaton Wilcox, who came to Tustin in 1874, "bought a three-story hotel and
after removing one story he used it as a residence and it was called 'The Villa' situated at 310 South Pasadena Avenue in Tustin",
according to a paper by his granddaughter (Miriam Kraft Rice). Wilcox's large collection of books was housed in "The Villa" in a
eucalyptus wood paneled library, which is believed to be the first such use of this wood. Wilcox was one of Tustin's major
pioneers. He helped found and was a director of the First National Bank of Tustin. He owned property at Tustin's Avenue and First
Street, planted to concord grapes. He was an orchardist and an amateur horticulturist who was one of the first to graft five
varieties of citrus onto one root. With Dr. Wall, he started a packing house, the first in the area, and later formed the Santiago
Fruit Growers Association in Orange. He helped start the Episcopal Church of Tustin. He was a director of the Santa Ana Abstract
Company and a receiver of the old Seibert Bank in Santa Ana. Although the family owned the property from 1893 to 1920 none
were residents as of 1916. The house was occupied by renters. John D. Rinard, a rancher and realtor, owned and lived here from
1920 to 1946. Rinard converted the house into apartments, and a garage and stuccoed over the wood siding. Dirk Bode acquired
the property in 1958 and Mrs. Bode still lives here.

The Queen Anne cottage shown above sits in the middle of a group of very old trees and is surrounded by a small orange grove.
Clad in medium -width shiplap siding, the house retains most of its original integrity, with the exception of the roof on the tower
at the northwest comer of the front facade, the front window, and one of the front doors. The front -facing gabled roof is bordered
with enclosed eaves. The gable face and smaller offset front porch gable are both clad in fishscale shingles. The larger gable is
centered with a rectangular decorative panel, topped with a row of bead -and -reel trim. and flanked on the sides by carved brackets.
The circular louvered vent in the center is not original. The smaller gable features a curved bargeboard accented with cutwork. The
porch is supported by turned posts. Rosettes, set in square panels, decorate the frieze above the posts. Two doors lead to the
interior. The door in the north wall appears to be original, and features a window in the top, molding trim, and dentil work. The
door in the east facade is a newer door and is accented with a multi -paned window in the top and a panel in the bottom with
criss-cross accents. The six -sided tower, featuring double -hung windows in each section, now has a flat roof. Between the tower
and the front porch is a ca. 1900 plate glass window topped with a leaded glass transom. The north side features a lean-to porch
with a row of windows. There is another house on the same grounds. It is a ca. 1920 Craftsman Bungalow and sits in the orange
grove to the north of this house. This house is not in Tustin proper, but the Historical Society has requested that it be included in
the survey.
vThe small Queen Anne cottage, sitting amid a group of mature trees and an orange grove, is significant for its architecture, its
setting, its fust owner Zeke Zielian, and its place in the broad patterns of the agricultural history of Tustin. John "Zeke" Zeilian
Jr. was the much -admired principal of the Tustin Grammer School from 1889 until 1906. He purchased this property, built this
house, and planted the surrounding orange grove in 1890. He served an important role in the growth of the Tustin School District
while serving two terms on the Board of Education ( July 1, 1898 to July 1, 1906 and June 5, 1912 to May 8, 1918. He ran for
County Superintendent of Schools in 1902. He was so much -loved by his students that they formed an organization called "Zeke's
Bunch." They met at Irvine Park for a picnic every year from 1922 until 1965. Mr. Zielian died in Santa Ana in 1939. He had
sold the orange grove and home to George and Lillian Roy on December 14, 1910. Elizabeth Roy, their daughter, was a talented
musician. The Roys maintained dual residences until 1926, the ranch home on Prospect and a house at 1525 N. Main Street in
Santa Ana. George died in 1925 and his widow, Lillian, and daughters, Elizabeth and Josephine, lived in the house on Prospect.
Josephine continued to live in the house until the mid -1980's.

VWilliam Cheney, the builder of this fine Spanish Colonial home, came to Orange County around the turn of the century, renting
960 acres from his friend, James Irvine. In addition, he operated 600 acres of Irvine's ranch for over 20 years. In 1914 he bought
10 acres of land on the east side of Prospect and built a home for his wife, Eva, and their family. Three years later he purchased
this 20 acres on the west side of the street from A. L. Cotant, a fruit grower who lived on .Glen (Tustin) Avenue. A major
contributor to the Valencia industry, Mr. Cheney planted 815 Valencias on the east side of Prospect and 1600 trees of the same
variety on the west side. In partnership with James Utt, he operated a nursery devoted to raising Valencia orange tree stock. In
1921 they had over 12,000 small trees at their location in Tustin. On the land leased from the Irvine Ranch, he raised lima beans,
black-eyed peas, barley and hay. He helped organize and was the first secretary of the San Joaquin Lima Bean Growers
Association. The organization was successful in raising the price of beans from three and one-quarter cents per pound to fourteen
and one-half cents per pound in three years. A successful businessman, he was a stockholder in the First National Bank of Santa
Ana. While still living in Los Angeles, prior to 1914, he and his brother co-founded the Farmers Insurance Company. Later he
was a member of the Tustin Hills Citrus Association, which owned a packing house on the Southern Pacific railway. As president
of the Wyana Oil Company, he was responsible for oil drilling in the state of Wyoming and Orange County. He was awarded a
life membership in the Santa Ana Elks Lodge, No. 794. Mr. Cheney, in partnership with Leo Borchard and Guy Wilmot, owned
what was considered to be the finest mule in Orange County. He raised approximately 16 mules a year for several years. In 1925
he was a foreman for the County Highways. He and Eva built this fine house of pressed brick, covered with stucco, in 1922. They

Located on the comer of Red Hill and Walnut, the large Craftsman grove house still sits amid a large stand of mature avocado and
orange trees. Surrounded by a white board fence and specimen trees, it is barely visible from the street. The two -storied house
faces Red Hill and is clad in Specialty siding consisting of wide and narrow alternating boards. The side -facing gabled roof is
crowned with a large front -facing gabled dormer that runs from the front of the side -facing roof to the back Criss-cross
latticework venting, triangular braces, and exposed rafter tails decorate the roofline. Two sets of double -hung windows, flanked by

SIGNIFICANCE:
In 1915 Clarence Nisson and his new wife, Vera, bought a 10 -acre walnut grove at the cornet of Red Hill and Walnut. They built a
large Craftsman Bungalow that same year, and moved in to stay for the rest of their lives. Clarence was a native Orange. Countian,
having been born on a ranch at 2500 N. Main Street in Santa Ana. His parents were Mathias and Charlotte Nisson who operated
the ranch on N. Main (where Bekins Moving and Storage is now located). Mathias Nisson, who was born in Germany in 1847,
came to Orange County in 1876. Both Mathias and Clarence were known for their expertise as walnut and orange orchardists.
Clarence and Vera, who was from Waco, Texas, had three sons, Richard, G. Matt, and C. Arthur. Clarence was active in the Elks
Club, the Isaac Walton League, and the Tustin Presbyterian Church. He and Vera moved to 2410 Park Blvd. in Santa Ana, where
he died in September of 1957. His son, Matt, continued to live in the Craftsman Bungalow and raise oranges and avocados. In
March of 1968, 8.51 acres of the ranch were sold to develop a tract, leaving 1.49 acres of land on the comer parcel still owned by
the Nisson family. Some especially fine mature trees, including some specimen avocados, surround the original 1915 Craftsman
Bungalow and barn. The ranch is one of the few remaining operating groves in Tustin, and the healthy trees are a significant
reminder of the thriving citrus industry that shaped the history of Tustin. The Nisson family contributed to the orange and walnut
industry and were part of the ranch -oriented settlement period. The house would possibly be eligible for the National Register if
it were not for the alterations to the house.

LTR THAN AIR HANGARS
DESCRIPTION:
CITY OF TUSTIIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
The huge matching Lighter -Than -Air hangers, built in 1942, were listed as National Historic Landmarks in 1978. Originally built
at a cost of $2.5 million each, the hangers are 18 stories high (178 ft.), three football fields 0088 ft.) long and 297 feet wide.
They are considered to be the world's largest unsupported wood frame structures. The arching canopies measure 484,932 square feet
and are supported by super structures made of wood beams. Wood was used instead of steel because steel was needed for the war
effort. The roof was clad in a new skin of galvanized tin in 1957, but they retain their original appearance. There are 52 concrete
posts on each side, resting on the concrete floor. Horizontal wood framing, 12 -foot spans, is supported by criss-crossed structural
members that cover the entire ceiling. The hangers are constructed in three main sections. Two of the sections are identical
supporting structures of concrete, and stand at each end of the hanger. Two pillars, six huge doors, and a brace which connects the
pillars at the top, form the framework on which the huge doors slide toward the sides. The pillars are used as pockets to house the
hanger doors, and the brace provides the track on which the doors slide. The center section of the hanger is the wood frame. The
roof is supported by 51 individual wood braces. Six rows of green plexiglass let light in through the roof of the structure. Offices
form narrow rows down the side of each hanger and the large open center section, once used to store the blimps, are now used to
repair and store helicopters. The hangers are said to have their own weather, if the huge hanger doors are not kept open in the
summer, the hot air rises, causing clouds and, eventually, rain. The twin buildings are not only significant as the world's largest
unsupported wood structures, but also for their representation of an important and unique period in our nation's history.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The twin giant hangers, located on the 1,561 -acre Marine Corps Air Station on the southern edge of Tustin, are listed as
National Historical Landmarks. Visible for miles around, the hangers were built in 1942 at a cost of 2 1/2 million dollars each.
They, along with other airship hangers built from the same plans in other states, are considered to be the largest wood -supported
structures in the world . The hangers stand as high as an 18 -story skyscraper and are longer than three football fields. They were
originally built to house the huge blimps which were an important part of the United States anti-submarine defense. Each hanger
housed 6 ships, or one squadron. During W W Il, the Marine Corps Air Station catered to the special needs of naval aviation. It
was fust commissioned on September 1, 1942, as a U. S. Lighter -than -Air base for the helium -filled airships which were conducting
anti-submarine patrols off the Southern California coast The blimps remained at the base until June of 1949 and the base
remained idle until the Korean War. In 1951 the Marines took over the base and installed a fleet of large helicopters. The base
became the first such facility to be devoted entirely to helicopters, and is still used for that purpose. The City of Tustin annexed
the air station in April of 1976. Even though the blimp hangers were built less than 50 years ago, they are of such significance
to the broad patterns of United States history that they were made National Landmarks in August of 1978.

Edward E. Smith, a local walnut grower, built this house in 1907. He sold it that same year to J. H. Shaffer, who immediately sold
it to Martha Rantz. By 1909 Matthew and Birdie Truran had purchased the property, adding to several other lots that they had
accumulated in that block. The area became known as "Truranville" by local residents, because the Trurans owned several pieces of
property and built several homes here. In 1937 when Birdie Truran's estate was settled, this house was deeded to Ben Truran, one
of her sons. Edward Hawkins and his wife, Ruth, purchased the house that same year and continued to own it until 1945. E. J.
Richardson and his wife, Vivian, owned the house during the war. He was a carpenter. A good example of a Colonial Revival
house, with Craftsman influence, the residence is significant to the city because of its architectural style.

The 2 -over -2 double -hung windows, with molded cornices, and the wide shiplap siding indicate that this two-story residence is one
of a handful of pre -1890 homes in Tustin. The ell -shaped gabled roof is bordered with enclosed eaves. A shed -style dormer has
been added on the west side. The front -facing second -story gable is centered with a pair of 2 -over -2 double -hung windows with
cornices. The porch below is covered with a hipped roof bordered with enclosed eaves, supported by wood posts with vertical
cutouts. Plain wood braces, placed on the diagonal accent the posts. The front door, centered with a large window, and a
matching pair of 2 -over -2 windows look out onto the porch. Another entry door, in the west side of the shiplap-clad addition on
the east half of the front facade, is turn of the century in character, featuring a horizontal window at eye level, a horizontal panel
across the top, and vertical panels in the bottom third. A pair of 2 -over -2 windows is centered in the west side. There are several
additions to the rear of the building. A 1940's duplex, with a front -facing gabled roof, is located in the southeastern comer of the
back yard and the garage in the southwestern comer. It is clad in vertical carsiding and is double the normal length. Although
this house is in a general state of disrepair and has an inappropriate addition on the front, it still needs to be recognized as a very

SIGNIFICANCE:
The two -over -two windows, porch posts, and wide shiplap siding indicate that this house is one of the oldest in Tustin. Samuel
Bailey purchased 6 lots and this already existing house in 1893. He sold it to Jefferson Dalrymple, the owner until 1907. W. H.
Smith, a fruit grower, purchased the property at that time. Less than a year later he sold to L. J. Carden. Carden sold two lots to
Matthew H. Tmran Sr., and his wife, Birdie. They were ranchers. The Truran family owned several lots on that block of San Juan
and built several houses through the years. Margaret Byrd recalls that the area was nicknamed "Tmranville" by some Tustin
residents. She said that Birdie Truran was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Their son was Matthew Truran Jr. He was a cesspool
contractor in 1945 and became a building contractor in 1947. By that time Charles and Mary Wise had purchased the home at
1062. He was a building contractor under the title of Wise and Sons. The house became a rental several years ago, and the
buildings in the back yard were constructed or moved in in the 1940's. Because of the unusual architectural features and age of this
house and its connections with Tustin's early settlement period, it is considered significant to the community.

DESCRIPTION:
This two-story Spanish Colonial house is the only surviving member of a quartet of houses of the same style and quality, which
once graced this section of Tustin Avenue. The ell -shaped house is clad in stucco and features a varied roofscape clad in red clay
tiles. The roof is ornamented with exposed beam ends and rafter tails. The long section of the ell is two -storied and runs parallel
with the street, while the short section is a single -stored front -facing gabled wing, on the north side. The second story features a
Mission -style arcaded recessed porch, accented with a wrought iron railing, in the southeast corner. The same style of arcade is
used for the front porch which runs across the front facade from the port cochere to the front door in the corner of the ell. A large
plate glass window, flanked by double -hung windows, looks out onto the porch. Double -hung windows are used throughout the
rest of the house, with the exception of the large Byzantine -style arched window centered in the front of the single -storied wing.
Two rows of ornate Spanish tile cover the recessed sides of the window opening. Sloping wing walls form the shape of the sides
of the front facade of the wing. A large chimney is located on the north side of the wing. The port cochere matches the rest of
the house, including the red -tile -clad roof. A breakfast room wing is located in the rear, on the south side. Above is a balcony
which faces the backyard and is bordered with a cutout wood railing. There is no railing.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This fine Spanish Colonial Revival house is the only survivor of a row of four similar houses built by the same person in 1929.
Before Tustin Avenue was widened, they stood far back from the street, amid well -kept lawns and mature plantings. Henry and
Mary Bailey purchased 1.75 acres in 1921 and built the fust house. He was in the real estate business. Mary Bailey lived in the
house (which was to the south of this one) until the mid -1980's. Claude Fowler was the contractor for all of the houses. These
were estates, designed in the very appropriate Spanish Colonial style, and are significant for their architecture, their associations
with the Baileys and Claude Fowler, and representative of the agriculture -induced prosperity that reigned in Orange County during
the 1920's.

This large rectangular Mission -style Craftsman Bungalow has been converted to an office building without destroying any of its
exterior character -defining features. The elongated hipped roof features enclosed eaves, a wide overhang, and pairs of carved
Mission -style brackets along the underside of the eaves. The house is clad in stucco. Symmetrical in shape, it is centered with a
large recessed porch with a fanciful shaped arch across the top. Solid stucco -clad rails and piers, with concrete caps, border the
concrete porch floor. Pairs of casement windows, with a row of mullions across the top of each panel, are placed on each side of
the front door and match those used throughout the rest of the house. The massive front door is made of vertical boards, accented
with three horizontal boards ornamented with large metal studs. Plate glass windows flanked by casement sidelights and topped
with matching transoms, occupy the spaces on each side of the centered porch. This same window arrangement is used near the
front on each side facade. A row of 4 casement windows is located in the center of the north side. A new garage and parking lot
are located behind the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Andrew Morris built the house in 1921. He had come to Tustin in 1902 with his father-in-law, M. Morrison. They bought 20
acres at First and Yorba and planted it to oranges. Morris is listed in the directories as a rancher. The house remained in the
family until 1968, when Morris's nephew, Frank Mitchell sold it. The house is currently used by "Big Brothers and Sisters of
Orange County" which acquired the property in 1968. This private, non-profit organization provides adult volunteers as role
models for children of single parent families. Mission -style Craftsman architecture is rare in Orange County. The detailing and
quality of construction adds additional significance to the building. Andrew Morris was one of several Tustin ranchers who later
became developers. This was to become a significant historical pattern in Tustin.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Herman Enderle built the house in 1904. Herman owned a foundry at Third and Main Street in Santa Ana, across from aviator Glen
Martin's barn and cast the engine for one of Martin's early planes. Enderle also owned a 20 -acres ranch, planted in walnuts and
apricots, and extended to 40 acres (in oranges) by 1950. After Herman's wife died in 1917, he lived here with his brother, Frank.
In the mid -twenties, their two sisters moved in. One sister, Clara Enderle, taught math at the Tustin Grammar School from 1921
to 1933 and was the vice-principal. Herman's son Maurice married Harriett in 1923. They built a home next to this house, where
they raised two sons, Allan and Wallace. Maurice was Orange County Accessor from 1949 to 1952, after serving as deputy
accessor since 1920. The family developed Enderle Center, in 1972, and Harriett, moved into Herman Enderle's old house at
14192. The house's association with the Enderle family, prominent local ranchers turned developers, gives a prominence to this
early Craftsman Bungalow. It is representative of the early 20th century growth patterns of this rich agricultural area.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Horace Stevens had the house built in 1919 and lived here until 1948, when he acquired title to his parents' house at 228 West
Main St. He was a prominent rancher in his own right, as well as the son of one of Tustin's wealthiest pioneers, Sherman
Stevens. The house was originally designed by W.W. Kays and was remodeled (with a second story added) by Harry Hayden
Whiteley in 1927. Horace and his wife, Florence, divorced and she remained in the house until 1965. Their daughter, Ruth Joyce
Stevens, was a local artist who died young. W.H. Roberts, who owned the house from 1965 to 1977, was the manager of the Stuft
Shirt restaurant in Newport Beach. Richard and Barbara O'Donnell have lived here since 1977. He is a vice president from
Yamaha Musical Equipment Company. She is active in social circles, and has served as president of the Tustin Area Woman's
Club. The unique design elements of this fine Spanish Colonial Revival house make it a good candidate for the National Register.
In addition, the connections with the Stevens family, who were significant to Tustin history, and W.W. Kays, a prominent area
architect, add significance to the building.

the front porch roof, while single casement windows and a 1940's cantilevered bay occupy the rest of the second floor. Jalousied
windows replace the original on the first floor. Although this house has alterations involving a number of windows, it is included
here because it is an important grove home and casement windows could be reinstalled in the original spaces. There is a large
Angle -storied stucco -clad addition on the back, on the north side. It is topped with a flat roof and is centered with a large red

A prominent two -storied Colonial Revival style porch dominates this two -storied residence, now converted to a professional office
building. The side -facing gabled roof features pedimented gables and wide enclosed eaves. Matching front -facing gabled dormers,
centered with multi -paned windows, are located on each side of the centered porch. Narrow clapboard siding, accented at the
corners with wide pilasters trimmed in molding, covers the exterior. Matching 6rover-1 double -hung windows form a pattern
across the front of the five -ranked front facade. The pedimented gabled porch roof is supported by a pair of massive round
classical Tuscan columns, with a smaller pair, placed just inside the larger set, supporting the second floor balcony. The balcony
rail is of heavy carved balusters and rectangular molding -trimmed piers. The floor is concrete and there is no railing. The
varnished front door is accented with molding in a complicated pattern, and flanked with multi -paned sidelights. An enclosed
single -story porch, which also is supported by round columns, features french doors across the front and delicate stained glass
panels on either side of the round columns. A row of heavy carved balusters and piers, matching those on the front porch, forms a
border around the flat roof above. A shallow square bay with no windows is located on the north side, near the front. The back of
the house features an addition and a second -story balcony, ringed with carved balusters. The addition matches the original house.
A second story bridge leads to the large matching office building in the back. When the house was converted to offices, a large
circular brick parking lot, with planters around the edges and a circular planter in the center, was installed. Reproduction period
light standards ring the parking lot. The fencing consists of latticework panels between large square posts, accented with
decorative balls on the top. This is obviously a fine house, beautifully built, and of superior design. The parking lot and fencing
is in keeping with the classical appearance of the house.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Rancher Oakes B. Newcom and his wife had the house built between 1921 and 1924 on property purchased from Andrew Morris,
their neighbor. Mrs. Newcom (Daisy) lived there long after her husband's death. The Mauer Development Company acquired the
property in 1977 and restored it, converting it to professional offices. In 1982 a large addition was made at the back, adding S
offices, garages, and recreational facilities. The Colonial Revival design elements of this large house make it one of the finest in
Orange County. The massive columns at the front entrance and the matching porch on the south side are particularly outstanding
elements of the style. In addition, the house's association with Oakes Newcom and its representation as a prosperous 1920's citrus
era home are significant.

The 1901 directory lists the Clifford family as living here. The household included J.V. Clifford, a farmer and his wife; Mrs. M.J.
Clifford, a widow, and Charles, a laborer, Ora, a bookkeeper and Misss A. L. Clifford. Church records refer to the purchase of the
'Clifford House' in 1907. From 1907 to 1948 this house served as the parsonage for ministers of the First Advent Christian
Church, Tustin's first church (see 555 W. Main SQ. The house was moved to its present site on 3rd Street in 1948, when the
present parsonage was built. As one of Tustin's important early homes, this house provides a significant visual impact to the
historic Tustin streetscape. It is also significant for its association with the First Advent Christian Church and because the
parsonage was usually a gathering place for parishoners.

One of the finest Queen Anne cottages in Orange County, the two -storied house at 540 Third is crowned with a steeply -pitched
bellcast gabled roof with gables facing the front and west side. Fancy -cut triangular and fishscale shingles are alternated to create
the pattern on the gable faces. The gables are centered with double -hung windows. The main bellcast roof continues downward to
form the roof of the wrap-around porch. The east side of the roof contains a shed -style dormer, probably added in the 1920's.
Turned posts, trimmed with carved brackets, support the porch roof. The railing is Oriental in flavor, with two rows of horizontal
rails alternating with single horizontal rails, to form a ladder -like pattern. Wide shiplap siding, trimmed with corner boards,
covers the exterior. Pairs of tall narrow casement windows flank the front door. Molded panels accent the space below the
windows. This is a feature seen on very old houses in northern California, but rarely found here. The front door features a fine
etched glass window, bordered in mullions. A similar door, without the etched glass, graces the east facade. A small addition,
which matches the rest of the house, has been added at the end of the porch. A row of 2 -over -2 double -hung windows runs along
the west side, below the wide frieze. This house is located on a large lot and has a modem garage in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Junius B. French, a nephew of Mr. David Hewes, was the minister of the Tustin Presbyterian Church from 1887 to 1890 and lived
there from 1187 until 1891. Moses and Abigail Chandler and Willard and Ell Chandler owned the property from 1884 to 1886 and
may have built the house. They sold it to M.S. Bundy in December of 1886, who sold to French in June of 1887. Henry W. Smith
was the owner of the house from 1912 to 1918. He was a notary and Justice of the peace who had his office here in his home. Lee
and Dwight Kenyon, brothers, owned the house from 1919 to 1975. Lee was a laborer and Dwight a Jehovah's Witness preacher.
Because the house is a rare and superior example of a Queen Anne, it appears to be eligible for the National Register. It adds
significant visual appeal to the Tustin Cultural Resources District.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Charles E.,Bowman acquired this property in 1910 and it is believed that his brother, William Bowman, may have done the actual
construction. Charles Bowman was a prominent Tustin businessman who owned a fumigating business which was important to the
local citrus industry because at that time orange trees were tented and fumigated with cyanide for pest control rather than sprayed as
they are today. A.L. Cotant, who owned the hose 1920 to 1927, worked for the Bank of America. He deeded the house to his
daughter, Louise Baade, who sold it to Cood Adams. Because of the fine Craftsman detailing and the liberal use of riverstones,
this is one of the best examples of Craftsman Bungalow architecture in Tustin. Its associations with Charles and William Bowman
and A.L. Cotant add to its historic significance.

Santa Ana. Two years later, Irving Cleveland, a ranch hand, and his wife, Grace, bought the house. Leland and Elinor McCabe
were the owners and occupants in 1951. He was a salesman for the Wesson Oil Company. An electrician, Murray Robertson, and
his wife, Kathleen, purchased the home in 1960, and continued to live there for several years. Although the house is probably not
significant on its own, it does contribute to the historic streetscape of the area.

A good example of the Colonial Revival style, the single -storied house on the corner of Third and Myrtle is crowned with an
ell -shaped bellcast gabled roof, with carved ends on the bargeboards. Carved brackets accent the roof line and the gables are
centered with square louvered vents. Clapboard siding covers the exterior. Tuscan columns, resting on a solid clapboard -clad
railing, support the wrap-around porch. A plate glass window, topped with a diamond -paned transom, looks out onto the front
porch. The front door, accented with a large window at the top, is located in the west side of the front -facing wing. This wing
appears to have been added into part of the original front porch. An aluminum window is centered in the front face of the wing.
A diagonally -placed door is placed in the northern -most section of the slanted bay on the west side of the house. A large plate
glass window is centered in the bay. A row of double -hung windows marches down the east side and there is an enclosed porch on
the back. A modern garage, located in the rear, faces Myrtle Street. This house is surrounded by a large lot, dotted with orange
trees.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Charles E. Bowman acquired this property from Sarah Wilcox in 1908 and had the house built (probably by his brother, William
Bowman). Bowman owned a fumigating business, which tented and fumigated orange trees to control pests. Claude Martin acquired
the property in 1913 and built a small cottage in the rear yard for his mother. Martin, like his father, Joseph, worked and held
part ownership in the general store in the old Tustin Building on Main Street and then in Charles Artz's store. Carolyn Campbell
owned the property from 1928 to 1972. She was Postmistress of the Tustin Post Office from 1943 to mid -fifties and was
instrumental in securing the Highway Postoffrce for Tustin to speed up service between communities. City delivery was established
in 1948 during her tenure, abolishing Santa Ana rural routes within Tustin city limits. A good example of a relatively rare style
in Tustin, this Colonial Revival house is also significant for its associations with the Bowman Brothers, the Martin family, and
Carolyn Campbell.

Ana. Lot 11 was sold to Noah Condra, a rancher with a home at Main and California Benjamin and Anna Griffith bought lot 10 in
1928 and built this bungalow. He was a rancher. By 1936 Ralph and Merle Van De Walker had purchased the home. He was a
driver for the Van Dien -Young Company at that time. Later he was in business for himself as a building materials trucker at 508 E.
Fourth St. in Santa Ana. In 1952 Hollis and Sabrina Lindsey purchased the home. After Hollis died, Mrs. Sabrina Lindsey
continued to live in the house for several years. Although this house is probably not significant on its own, it does contribute to
the historic streetscape and is of a size and style that is compatible with the historic district.

exterior is clad in shiplap siding, trimmed with corner boards. A high hipped roof, extending downward to create a shed -style
front porch, features enclosed eaves and a plain frieze, trimmed in molding. The frieze below the pedimented gable is decorated
with stickwork and carved brackets. Pairs of tapered wood posts, resting on a solid railing clad in shiplap siding , support the
porch roof. These posts, along with the horizontal brackets above them, appear to have been added when the railing was changed,
over 50 years ago. The entrance is now located on the south side and arailing of plain balusters encloses the original centered
front entrance. The foundation has recently been covered with rock. The original tall, narrow front window to the south of the
front door was replaced soon after the turn of the century with a plate glass window and multi -paned transom. All other original
windows have been replaced with jalousied windows in recent years. The original trim and molding still exist on these windows.
Unusual fluted pilasters flank the ca. 1910 wooden front door, accented with a large single pane of glass. Two wings have been
added to the rear of the house. A low chain link and rock pilaster fence now encloses the front yard. This house is architecturally
significant in spite of its alterations, and is one of a row of six very old homes which form an important grouping.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Barbara Ann Lewis bought 7 blocks and additional acreage from her brother, Columbus Tustin, in June of 1875 for $1000. She
sold part of Block A back to him in 1877, but sold this lot to Benjamin Keim on June 9, 1881. Keim sold 8 lots, including this
one, in Block A to Jane B. Martin, wife of W.W. Martin on December 29, 1881. Jane B. Martin owned this property and the lot
at 155 A Street until 1895, when title to both was acquired by Arwilda R. Organ. The two lots were then owned by a long
succession of owners, but since none of these appear in the directories as living at this address, the house evidently was used as a
rental. This house is one of a handful of Eastlake homes still surviving in Orange County. It is significant as part of a row of
very old (pre -1900) houses and contributes in an important way to the Tustin Cultural Resources District.

shingles. A recessed wrap-around porch, supported by three ivy-covered wooden posts, occupies the north half of the front (west)
facade and the front half of the north side. The original doors, accented by rectangular windows at eye level and 3 recessed
horizontal panels below and one above the window, are located in the front facade and at the end of the wrap-around porch on the
north side. Both are topped with transoms. Double -hung windows are used throughout the house, including the center of the other
half of the front facade. This house is significant because it is one of Tustin's early houses. Almost certainly the original shiplap
siding still survives underneath the asbestos shingles. There is a small garage in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This single -storied rectangular Italianate house was constructed before the neighborhood was developed and is significant because
it is the oldest house on the street and is one of the few buildings remaining from the boom of the Eighties that affected Southern
California. The properties along North A were subdivided in 1923 by James Neal. He sold five of the lots to Ira Owens, and sold
off Lot 1, where the house sits, and three lots on the other side of the street, to J. D. Holford. The Holford family continued to
own the properties for more than 20 years. Eva Holford, J. D.'s widow, lived in a new house across the street. Francis Holford,
and his wife, Dollie lived in the house at 175 A Street from 1927 until 1948. He was a truck driver for several years, working for
C. M. Deardorf and J. F. Pieper Co. During the 1940's he became a painter and interior decorator. They had a son named Jack,
who was in the Marine Corps during W W ll. In 1948 James Sewell, the president of the Bums Cuboid Company, purchased the
house. His firm manufactured cuboid foot balancers at 1007 E. Washington in Santa Ana The following year Nicholas
Farquharson and his wife, Phyllis, bought the house from Mr. Sewell. Mr. Farquharson was an accountant for the Bums Cuboid
Company. Wilbur and Edith Webb, a retired couple, were the owners in 1951, and lived in the house until Leroy and Mollie
Stockman bought it in 1957. They were also retired. The house is included as significant because of its age and its position as

elected to Tustin's first city council in 1927 and served until 1942. He is listed in the 1945 Directory as the Fire Chief (of the
Volunteer Fire Department). One of the few board -and -batten homes remaining in Orange County, this house is a significant
contributor to a row of six early Tustin homes. In addition, it gains additional significance from its associations with Edmund
Kiser.

A bellcast hipped roof, ringed with carved exposed beam ends and centered with a gabled dormer, caps this two-story Colonial
Revival home. The gabled dormer, with carved barge boards is decorated with slant -cut wooden shingles and a multi -paned
window. The single -storied offset front porch features a shed -style roof with a bellcast pedimented gable over the main entrance.
Slant -cut wooden shingles and a delicate tracery of cutwork accent the gable. Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior which is
divided between floors by a flared beltcourse and plain frieze. Pairs of round classical columns, resting on solid clapboard -clad
railings, support the porch roof. Sidelights flank the natural wood front door, accented with a large pane of glass. A plate glass
window with a multi -paned transom above and narrow double -hung windows on each side occupies the area to the north of the
porch. A large double -hung window looks out onto the porch. A pair of multi -paned casement windows, which appear to have
replaced a pair of double -hung windows were probably added in the 1920's. On the north side is a high horizontal window, a door
in the foundation, and a double -hung window placed half -way between floors. This would indicate the location of the interior stair
landing and basement access. Double -hung windows are used throughout the rest of the house and a slanted bay window
embellishes the fust floor of the south facade. A single -storied enclosed porch on the back matches the rest of the house and is
reached by a short stairway sheltered by an added portico supported by chamfered posts and turned balusters. The high foundation
is now covered with used brick and a used brick planter has been added in the front. A hedge of pink old-fashioned roses and a
large lawn surround the house. This is one of the finest Colonial Revival homes in Tustin.
SIGNIFICANCE:
William Lynch Shatto, who came to Tustin around 1879, built this house for his second wife, but large enough to provide for
boarders. Shatto was a carpenter and helped to build many Tustin buildings, including the First Advent Christian Church, of which
he was a charter member. Martha Shatto, widow of Joseph Martin, was Shatto's third wife. She lived in the house until 1959.
Because this house is probably the finest Colonial Revival home in Tustin and is significant for its association with William
Shatto, it appears to be eligible for the National Register.

enclosed and the entrance changed to the north side. A large double -hung window, flanked by narrow double -hung sidelights, and
a single double -hung window occupy the front facade. A red brick chimney is located to th east of the wrought -iron -bordered open
porch, and is flanked by small windows. An addition at the back, northeast corner, features rows of multi -paned windows. A
two -car garage, built in the 1950's is located in the rear yard. This bungalow is one of four in a row built during Tustin's
Craftsman period. Since this property was surveyed, the owners have removed the asbestos siding and are restoring the original
clapboard siding.
SIGNIFICANCE:
In 1916, when John and Rosa Poh built this single -story bungalow, it was the fust house on this side of the street in this block.
John was a teamster. Earlier owners of the property included pioneer George Freeman, who arrived in Tustin in 1874; George
Hubbard, a civil engineer; Lucy Etta Walker, a nurse; and real estate developer, Fred McClain of Santa Ana. John and Rosa lived
in the house for 7 years before they got a divorce in 1923. Rosa kept this house as a rental for several years. She married Alvin
Bauer, a barber, in 1926 and moved to 317 E. First Street in Santa Ana. By 1934 they had divorced and she was living alone at
615 E. First Street in that city. Rosa rented the house out until she sold it to the Harbottle family in 1939. John Harbottle was a
retired attorney and his wife, Florence, was the principal at the Silverado School. Their daughter, Marguerite, lived here for
several years, and was a teacher with the Orange County School District. They had previously lived in Orange. The house
contributes to the historic streetscape of A Street and is one of a row of 4 bungalows which are of a compatible size and shape.

A truncated hipped roof and prominent enclosed cornice top this large two-story home. A tine gabled roof is visible above the
top of the main roof. Wide shiplap siding is typical of that used in houses built during the 1880's. The front facade is
symmetrical, having pairs of double -hung windows on each side of a smaller centered pair on the second floor. On the first floor
plate glass windows flank a Craftsman -style front porch. Supported by large square columns, the top of the flat -roofed porch is
bordered by a railing with plain balusters linking square piers at the corners. A Victorian -style front door, featuring an etched
figure of a woman and a recessed bottom panel, is flanked by narrow wood panels on the sides. Wide concrete steps, flanked by
stucco -clad piers topped with urns, lead to the porch. A single -story enclosed sun porch on the south side features a pair of
french doors, facing front, and a trio of tall, narrow windows facing the side yard. Concrete steps, piers and urns that match those
on the front lead to the doors. A large stucco -clad chimney rests on the south side of the house. One of the original tall, narrow
windows can be seen on the second floor above the porch. A set of stairs, with lattice trim, have been added to the back of the
house. The roof line, massing and siding indicate that this house was probably built in the 1880's. During the Craftsman Period
the house was remodeled, with wider double -hung windows installed in the place of many of the original windows, a side porch
added, the front porch redesigned, and the piers, concrete steps and urns built. Large trees, lawn, a miniature orange grove, and
flowers cover the large yard. A red barn, with a board -and -batten lean-to is located in the rear yard. A wrought iron and brick
fence surrounds the property. Although the house is no longer Victorian in style, the Craftsman -style alterations appear to have
been made more than fifty years ago and are considered part of the historic fabric.
SIGNIFICANCE:
George W. Diffenderfer, owner 1894 to 1904, owned several different parcels in this neighborhood and it is believed that the
house was built for him. An 1897 photograph of the house shows that it originally had a large front porch and a round turret,
typical of the Victorian styles of the era. Emma B. Hield, who owned the house from 1923 to 1958, taught English and was the
first vice principal of Tustin High School. She held that post from the school's opening in 1921 to 1944. Frank and Margaret
Greinke have owned the house since 1978. This Victorian house, which now appears as a Craftsman, is significant to the City of
Tustin for its historical connections with George Diffenderfer, and Emma Hield. The large yard, with barn and mature trees, is
typical of the spacious properties which make Tustin unique.

four Bungalows in a row, adding to its significance.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This property was owned by several people before the house was built by Paul and Mary Anderson in 1922. The earliest post -1889
owner recorded was George Freeman, who came across the country in a covered wagon in 1874. He owned four lots and his estate
sold them to George Hubbard, a civil engineer, in 1899. In 1910 Lydia Grace Cudworth bought lots 10-12. Later owners of the
three lots were Florence Dawes of Santa Ana, John Cade, a building contractor from Santa Ana, and Sherman Stevens, a prominent
local landowner. Mr. Stevens sold the three lots to three individual families. He sold this piece to Paul and Mary Anderson. Mr.
Anderson was a bookkeeper. Walter and Fanny Bailey owned the house from 1926 until 1933, when it was inherited from by
Adelbert Lutesinger. He apparently used the house as rental property, since the directories do not list him as living there. In
1944 Mr. Lutesinger sold the house to W. S. Lineberger, who in turn, sold it to Lytle and Opal Williamson. He was a fieldman for
the Goldenwest Citrus Association. They lived in the house until it was purchased by Clarence Pope, a driver for Fowler Co., and
his wife, Retta. The house is significant as one of a row of 4 California Bungalows which depict life as the average Orange
County family lived it in the 1920's. All four maintain their integrity and are compatible in shape, size, and materials.

paired square posts and cross beams, extends from the front facade. The solid railing across the front and square porch piers are
clad in stucco. Ribbons of multi -paned casement windows occupy each side of the front door. The door and sidelights each
contain 15 lights. Specialty siding, featuring two rows of narrow boards for each wide board, covers the exterior. A long, narrow
horizontal window, flanked by casement windows, is located on the south side. A mixture of double -hung and casement windows
are used throughout the rest of the house. A matching single -car garage is located at the rear. This house is one of a row of nice
bungalows, sitting under a row of large trees along the east side of A Street.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Charles Alvin and Carrie Preston were the first owners of this bungalow in 1923. They were in the meat business in Tustin during
the 1920's, 30's, and 40's. They purchased the single lot from Sherman Stevens, a local landowner, on July 9, 1921. Mr. Stevens
had purchased three lots in 1920 and subdivided the property to three different families. After Mr. Preston died in the early 50's,
Mrs. Preston continued to live in the house until she sold it to a retired couple, Myron and Aline Morris. The house is significant
because it is a good example of the Oriental style of bungalow, and because it contributes to the historic character of this block of

by 1923 had moved around the corner at 200 S. B. Street. Frank F. Bouchard, a teacher at Tustin High School, and his wife, Rena,
purchased the property and built the house in 1923. The Bouchards lived in the house in 1924, but moved soon after, turning this
house into a rental. Mrs. Rena Bouchard, now a widow, moved back in in 1940. In 1945 she was joined by William and Irene
Bouchard. He was in the U. S. Navy. Mrs. Julia'Spriggs, a cook, owned the house in the latter 40's and 50's. The house is one
of four bungalows in a row which are architecturally compatible and contribute to the historic character of the Tustin Historic

This very rare house appears to have been built in two segments during the 1870's and 80's. The front half, facing A Street,
appears to have been constructed first, with the back half being built a few years later. The front porch was enclosed many years
later. Two fine Greek Revival pediments, centered with an arched double -hung windows, grace the front and south side of the
ell -shaped roof of the oldest section. A piece of fretwork runs across the top of the recessed entry that leads to the front door.
The section of the porch with the pair of large double -hung windows was enclosed several years ago. The gabled wing to the
north of the front porch is centered with a plate glass window. Topped with an Eastlake -style transom featuring a border of
squares of flashed glass. The secondary porch on the north side features a pedimented gable face with fany-cut shingles. Turned
posts, spindlework, and a carved railing ornament the small porch. Both front and side doors are typical of the 1880's and feature
4 vertical and 1 horizontal panel. Fishscale shingles and windows with flashed glass borders accent the pedimented gables in the
back half of the house. A double -hung window rests beside a newer door. The double -hung windows with molding -trimmed lintels
appear to be original, except for those on the front porch enclosure. The foundation is clad in vertical car -siding. an older
board -and -batten garage is located to the rear. This house is significant because it is a rare and fine example of Greek Revival
architecture in Orange County.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This house is believed to have been built in 1876 when owner A.J. Stanley mortgaged the property he had recently acquired from
Barbara Ann Lewis, sister of Columbus Tustin. George W. Hubbard owned this house (1884 to 1901) and the entire block, which
he planted in oranges. His 40 acre grove on Laguna Road near Tustin was used to raise oranges, apricots, and walnuts. He married
Alice Macomber, whose daughter, Clara, grew up here. Clara Macomber acquired the family home in 1921 after teaching in Hawaii
and Santa Monica. She taught English on the fust faculty of Tustin High School from 1921 to 1945 and continued to own the
house until 1953. Because of its rare and well -detailed Greek Revival architecture, this home appears to be eligible for the
National Register. Additionally, it is significant for its association with George Hubbard, A.J. Stanley and the Macombers. It is
representative of the primary settlement period of Tustin.

The bottom half of this house, with its wide shiplap siding, was built in the 1880's, and the top half, featuring Craftsman -style
gables and windows, and roof,was added about 1910. The shiplap siding, edged with comer boards, is used throughout the first
floor, except for the flat -roofed addition on the front facade, to the north of the center wing. The gable faces are ornamented with
fancy -cut wood shingles, single exposed beam ends, row of rod trim across the bottom and the vertical lath ventwork are all
characteristic of Craftsman architecture. A pergola, supported by a single square wooden column, shelters the front doors. The
door in the south side of the front wing is 1880's in style and features a single pane of glass in the top half. The door at the back
of the pergola is ca. 1915, and also has a large plate glass window in its top section. A plate glass window, topped with a
transom and flanked by double -hung sidelights, is centered in the front wing. A small single -paned window rests beside the front

in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The bottom half of this house dates to the 1880's, but the roof and gables appear to have been added about 1910. Sometimes this
peculiar circumstance resulted when a fire burned the roof of a house and it had to be replaced. The earliest recording in the
post -1889 records in the county assessor's office lists the sale of the parcel, which encompassed the three lots on the northwest
corner of South B. Street, from Andrew Waterman to James Callaham (1903). In 1906 the property was sold to Philip and Kate
Ebel. They were local ranchers. They also bought and sold property around Tustin, sometimes becoming the mortgage holder for
the new owner. The Ebels continued to live in the house for many years. Kate Ebel died in 1952 and Philip married again. In the
1950's the property on the comer was sold and the former Presbyterian manse was moved there. The Ebels continued to live in
this house through the 1960's. As one of the pre -1890 homes in Tustin, this residence contributes to the historical legacy of the

SIGNIFICANCE:
The 1920's Colonial Revival duplex at 300-302 S. B St. is one of three properties in a row which were built as rental properties.
They did not have separate owners until 1951, when the estate of the last owner of all three properties, Mary Kirby, was settled.
None of the early owners appears to have lived in any of the homes. R. L Eddy inherited 5 vacant parcels from Sarah Eddy in
1917. In 1920 he deeded the property to Charles Artz, the owner of the Tustin Mercantile Company. He sold it to Charles L
Conant, a teller at the 1st National Bank . The next owner, O. T. Johnson of Santa Ana appears to have built the houses at 310
and 320 in 1920. He sold the two houses and this lot to William Kirby in 1922. He built this duplex and the garage behind it in
1926. However, the Kirbys continued to live in their residence at 406 W. Third Street for several years. He was a driver for the
Tustin School District. William Kirby died in 1936, and Mary Kirby continued to own the property until her death in 1950. At
that time this duplex was sold to Walter Barber. He and his wife, Lora were retired and lived at 140 N. Batavia in Orange. In 1958
Milton Wood became the owner.This duplex is of a pleasing design, is well-maintained and contributes to the historic streetscape
of the district. It matches the scale of most of the homes along B Street.

A low-pitched, offset front -facing gabled porch roof, which matches the main front -facing gabled roof, makes this house a typical
California Bungalow. Variegated vertical lath venting, single exposed beam ends, and exposed rafter tails accent the roof. The
frieze above the porch slopes up toward the center. Asbestos shingles now cover the exterior. Elephantine posts, sitting on
square brick piers, support the porch roof. The piers are constructed of two colors of grey brick. A pergola on the north side
shelters a plate glass window, topped with a multi -paned transom and flanked with double -hung sidelights. A matching window
overlooks the porch. Double -hung windows are used throughout the rest of the house. A matching single -car garage is located in
the rear. This house is almost a twin of the one at 320, to the south.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This is the center house of three single -storied homes built on lots ll and 12 of Block G of the Tustin City tract by the same
owner. R. L Eddy inherited 5 vacant parcels (the entire northern half of the block) from Sarah Eddy in 1917. He sold the entire
parcel to Charles Artz, the owner of the Tustin Mercantile Company 1920. Charles Conant, a teller at the First National Bank,
purchased the property from Artz and immediately sold it to O. T. Johnson of Santa Ana. Johnson built these two bungalows of
similar design in 1920. Two years later William Kirby bought the houses and added the duplex on the corner. He was a driver for
the Tustin Grammer School District. He continued to own the property until he died in 1936. Fifteen years later, in 1951, his wife,
Mary, died and the property was divided into three separate parcels. Harold J and Dorothea Carson purchased this home at that
time. He worked in his father's gas station, Carson and Golding, located at 305 D Street. Four years later the Carsons sold the
house to Stella Bogarty. She was a waiter at Ruby's restaurant. Although this bungalow does not appear to be significant on its
own, it does contribute to the historic streetscape, and is of a compatible size and scale for the district.

(CIITY OF T USTUN 1H USTORU CAL SURVEY
A low-pitched front -facing gabled porch, which matches the main front -facing gabled roof, tops the California Bungalow at 320.
Except for the slight difference in porch widths, this house is a twin to the house on the north at 310. Asbestos siding now
covers the exterior. Tapered elephantine posts, resting on piers of two colors of grey brick, support the porch roof. Plate glass
windows, topped with plain transoms and flanked by double -hung sidelights, flank the front door. Double -hung windows are used
throughout the rest of the house. Trellises have been attached to the front of the house. A carport has been added to the north
side.
SIGNIFICANCE:
One of three bungalows in a row that were constructed as rental property, the house shown above is very similar in style to the
one next door at 310. Sarah Eddy owned the northern half of the block between A and B, facing Third Street until her death in
1917. The property passed to R. L. Eddy, who sold it to Charles Artz, a prominent local grocer. He deeded the property to Charles
Conant, a teller at the First National Bank of Tustin. He, in turn, sold the property to O. T. Johnson, who built the two houses
at 310 and 320 in 1920. William Kirby, a driver for the Tustin Grammer School District, and his wife, Mary, became the owners
in 1922. They lived at 406 W. Third and, later, at 305 S. B. Street. In 1936 William Kirby died and Mary inherited the property.
She lived until 1951 and upon her death the parcels were separated and the houses sold to three different families. Paul Pinkerton,
an employee of the Hatch Poultryman's Coop Association of Southern California, became the new owner in 1951 and lived here
until 1955. The duplex contributes to the historic streetscape of the TustinHistoric Resources District and is compatible in size
and shape with other historic neighborhood homes.

HEWES HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:
CITY OF TUSTIN HISTORICAL SURVEY
This fine two -storied Greek Revival/ Italianate house is a County Landmark. The prominent medium -pitched gabled roof which is
visible from B Street projects from a rectangular truncated hip roof that tops the back half of the house. The gabled section is
accented with returns and enclosed eaves while the truncated portion is bordered with wrought iron cresting. The exterior is clad in
wide shiplap siding. The balustrade bordering the second floor balcony was added in the 1890's when the second floor was
remodeled. The turned posts and balustrade which supports the porch roof are original and feature square posts with flared
bracketed capitals. The friez a is decorated with dentilwork, molding -trimmed horizontal panels, and teardrops. The windows on
the first floor are tall and narrow, with arched tops and flared cornices, decorated with scallops, which reach to the porch ceiling.
Those on the second floor are double -hung with square tops. The double front doors are accented by large plate glass windows in
the top two-thirds and molding -trimmed paneling below. The centerpiece of the front facade is the wide wooden staircase, accented
with elaborate newel posts and turned balusters. The square bay on the south side features a trio of arched windows on the front
and a matching window on each side. Ornate brackets and turned posts delineate the windows. The mansard roof of the bay is clad
in fishscale shingles and topped with a balcony bordered with a plain wood balustrade. The porch in the rear (southwest) corner is
original and is identical to the front porch. An open porch, edged with a plain balustrade runs across the entire rear of the second
floor. The north side faces the back yard and is accented by a second -floor balcony with elaborate carved brackets. The very large
lot is shaded by several mature trees. A slumpstone and wrought iron fence along the back and side was installed in the late
1970's. The double garage was built in the 1940's and is virtually hidden in the back northwest comer. This house is
architecturally significant because of its unusually fine attention to detail, using the best in building materials and craftsmanship,
and because it is probably the finest example of Italianate architecture in Orange County. It retains almost all of its 1880's and
90's integrity.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The Hewes House is a County Point of Historical Interest David Hewes, who built this fine Italianate home in 1881 and lived here
until 1890, and rented it out until 1915. Hewes was probably Tustin's wealthiest pioneer. He made his fortune and established his
place in California history prior to his move to Tustin. He is renowend for having donated the golden spike used to mark the
completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. While living in this house he played a major role in the establishment and
construction of the Tustin Presbyterian Church. His ranch covered most of the present El Modena and North Tustin area and had a
profound impact on the economy and agriculture of the area. Benjamin F. Beswick, who owned the house from 1919 to 1945, was
the superintendent of the Tustin Elementary School from 1916 to 1923. Because he felt that the school teachers should live in
Tustin, he altered the second story of the house in order to add bedrooms and a bath. He also saw that the teachers attended the
Tustin Presbyterian Church. Significant as a superior example of Italianate architecture, and for its associations with David
Hewes and Benjamin Beswick, the house is also representative of Tustin's primary settlement period.

A side -facing gabled roof, featuring a front -facing gabled wing on the south side of the east -facing front facade, caps the
single -storied Craftsman Bungalow shown above. Horizontal lath venting, triangular braces with scroll trim at the bottom, and
exposed rafter tails decorate the roof line. The exterior is clad in narrow clapboard siding. The recessed porch in the northeast
comer is supported by a large square brick column with a concrete cap. The foundation, a pier beside the porch steps and the
chimney, located on the north side, all match the column. The wooden porch railing is a combination of pairs of vertical posts
with one narrow and one wide band placed horizontally to form the rails. An open concrete porch, a continuation of the recessed
porch, extends to the north side and is bordered with a matching railing and brick pier. The fine Craftsman -style front door is
accented by three large separate beveled glass panes near the top and long narrow panes of beveled glass on each side. Extended
lintels top each window and door. A plate glass window, plain transom, and jalousied sidelights are centered in the wing to the
south of the front porch. The same arrangement is located beside the front door. A car -siding -clad garage is located in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Lola Townsend, a teacher at the Tustin Elementary School, lived in this Craftsman Bungalow during the 1950's. Mrs. Myrtle
Hendricks rented the house in the rear. The liberal use of roof decoration, the large Craftsman front door, the open porch on the
north side, and the Oriental -influenced railing add much to the Craftsman appearance of this home. It is significant as a
contributor to the Tustin Cultural Resources District.

SIGNIFICANCE:
Ralph Cruzen built this pleasant bungalow in 1923, after purchasing the lot from Roy Russell, a prominent local property owner
and developer. He was in the real estate business in Santa Ana and purchased much of this block from Jasper Leck in 1922. He
sold the lots to individuals who constructed their own homes. The Cruzens lived in this house for over 40 years. A pleasant

The wide shiplap siding and the tall narrow windows with peaked cornices indicate the age of this single -story home as
approximately 100 years old. However, it has had some Craftsman alterations, now considered part of the historic fabric of the
house because they are over 50 years old. The front -facing gabled roof and matching porch, both accented with exposed rafter
tails, were added about 1910-15. The porch is supported by elephantine wooden posts, resting on red ruffled brick piers. The floor
is concrete. A pair of double -hung windows and the front door are located in the front facade. The inverted door features vertical
panels with molding trim with diagonal corners. A slanted bay window near the back of the south side features a plate glass
window and plain transom with double -hung windows in the slanted sections. Original windows with peaked cornices can be seen
on both the north and south sides. A ca. 1910 double garage is located in the rear.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This ca. 1890 home is the oldest on the street and may have been moved from another location. This tract was opened up in 1922
by Herbert H. Hannaford. He and his wife, Eleanor, were ranchers who lived on Prospect Avenue near Seventeenth. On August 22,
1924 this lot and house were sold to Cleo Gordon and Rhoda May Poh. He was a driver for the Van Dien -Young Company and
they lived at 215 Bonita Street The house served as a rental while they owned it and was purchased in 1927 by M. B. Harwell. It
appears that Mr. Harwell also rented the house out. In 1935 the new owners were Hubert and Leta Riggan. They owned a service
station on 401 S. Main in Santa Ana. The Riggans stayed in the house until they sold it to Carl and Jessie Focht in 1945. Mr.
Focht was a custodian for the Tustin Elementary School District. The Fochts continued to live in the house for several years. As
representative of Tustin's early settlement period, the house achieves a certain automatic significance. It sits along a street of
historic homes built during the 1920's and is compatible in size and style with the historic character of the neighborhood.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The developers of this land were Herbert and Eleanor Hannaford, ranchers who lived on Prospect Avenue near 17th Street during the
fust quarter of the 20th century. They subdivided Lots 1 through 15 and sold this lot to George and Charlotte Phelps in October of
1925. A few days later, the Phelps broke ground for this nicely -detailed Craftsman Bungalow, completing the structure in January
of 1926. They lived at 342 Poplar in Laguna Beach for many years following the construction of the home. Mr. Phelps was a
painting contractor. Upon his retirement in 1945 they moved to this house. George died in 1956 and Charlotte sold the house to
Albert Newbrander in 1957. The house is significant because it is a good example of Craftsman Bungalow. Although this street is
not a formally -recognized historic district, it is lined with single -storied bungalows and this house is compatible in size and style

An asymmetrical western falsefront forms the front facade of this blacksmith shop. It has had the same use since its construction
in 1912. A front -facing gabled roof, clad in corrugated metal, connects to the back of the false front. The front is also clad in
sheets of corrugated metal with a flat piece of metal forms a flat edge along the top. The north and south sides are clad in
corrugated metal. Large sliding freight doors, located on the north half, slide on a metal track. A shorter freight door is placed
immediately to the south of the taller door. Two additional door and a small window occupy the south end of the front facade. All
of the doors are made of wood.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The blacksmith's shop was established on this site between 1912 and 1920 (sources differ) and has been in continuous operation
ever since. The blacksmiths were: Thomas J. Wilson (19?? to 1939), Hans Johnson (1939 to 1951), Victor Anderson, Sr. (1951
to 1960), and Victor Anderson, Jr. (1960 to present). Anderson, Jr. is believed to be the last blacksmith operating in Orange
County. One of the last vestiges of Tustin's most important industry, agriculture, this blacksmith shop has played a significant
role in Tustin history. It retains much of its original integrity and the Western Falsefront architecture is one of the few remaining
examples of this type of building still existing in Orange County.

A shaped Mission -style parapet, topped by a Moderne -style ledge and flanked by plain pilasters, tops the single -storied
commercial building shown above. It is constructed of poured -in-place concrete. A number of alterations affect the character of
the building. They include the covering or replacement of the original transom which ran across the top of the windows, the front
windows, the recessed centered entryways on both the front and west sides, and the 50's -style doors in the entries. The basic
concrete structure remains unaltered, however.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The building was built in 1913 or 1914 by Robert J. Wiley to house a Chalmers automobile agency. Wiley was later a partner of
Charles Bowman in the fumigating business. William Huntley and Nickolas Gulick (owners 1915 to 1917) started their Tustin
Garage in the building, then relocated to 560 El Camino Real. Bowman and Ritchey (later Bowman and Wiley) Fumigating
operated from this building. Charles Bowman (owner 1917 through mid 1920's) was a member of one of Tustins early pioneer
families. His agricultural fumigating business fumigated orange groves in the area. More recently, the building provided meeting
space for the Tustin City Council (1960 and early 1970's) and a site for the Montmartre School of Russian Ballet (1960's to
present). Playing a significant role in Tustin history, this commercial building is one of only 15 or so commercial buildings in
the City. It contributes to the Tustin Historic Resources District in that capacity. In addition, it is significant for its association
with Bowman, Wiley and Ritchey and as a meeting place for the Tustin City Council.

windows flank the recessed center section. A large multi -paned stationary window is centered in the recess. A large concrete
plaque, trimmed with a border of acanthus leaves, features a concrete banner and wrought iron words announcing that this is the
location of the Tustin Unified School District Administration Office. Wings to the north and south are topped by side -facing
red -clay -tile -clad gabled roofs and supported by large square stucco -clad columns. The recessed porches which run across the front
of each wing are Mission -influenced. The wing on the north side is much larger than the wing on the south side. There are a
number of additions on the back. Tustin's fust school bell (1883) has been restored and is on display in front of the building.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The Tustin Unified School District Administration Building, built in 1951 on the grounds where the Tustin Grammar School
once sat, is a landmark of the future. The building, with its tile -roofed stucco -clad wings was built as an auditorium, cafeteria, and
additional classrooms for the grammar school. Many who lived in Orange County during the 1950's will remember the Tustin
Playbox performances which were held here each summer. The Playbox was a proving ground for budding Southern California
performers. After the main grammar school buildings were tom down in the 1960's, this building became administrative offices.
The prized historic school bell, cast by Meneely and Company of West Troy, New York in 1883, has been restored and sits in
front of the building. It once called the children to school at the two-story Victorian school building once located on Third Street.
This administration building is one of the few pre -1960 Tustin school buildings remaining in the city.

(C1rT Y OF TUS TUN IH USSTORI(CAIL SURVEY
One of the few board -and -batten houses still surviving in Orange County, this two -storied house has few discernable alterations.
Capped by a side -facing gabled roof which slants downward at the back, the house features 2 -over -2 double -hung windows in the
center of each gable. The eaves are enclosed. The full porch is topped with a hipped roof and also features enclosed eaves.
Turned posts, connected by a plain balustrade with closely -spaced balusters, support the porch roof. 2 -over -2 windows flank the
centered front door, which appears to be original. The inverted cross door is accented with molding bordering each vertical panel.
Because of the break in the roof on each side, at a spot where the eaves would logically end, it appears that the back section was
added on. Because the materials, including the 2 -over -2 windows, match the original it appears the addition was done very soon
after the original construction.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Mary Tustin, the original owner of the house (ca 1886), was the wife of Columbus Tustin, founder of the City of Tustin. The
Tustin had the building moved to this site around the turn of the century, with the aid of logs and mules. The house was owned by
members of the Tustin family until 1943, but Fannie, Tustin Platt and possibly Mary Jane Tustin Nicoles were the only ones who
lived here. The house was rented in the 1930's to George Chandler and his family of nine children. Ralph and Louise Lindsay have
owned the house since 1945. Ralph owned a shoe repair shop in the Knights of Pythias building, but is best known as a volunteer
fireman, serving as Fire Chief from 1951 through 1959. Because this house is a rare example of a primary settlement period
building, retains most of its original integrity and was strongly associated with the Tustin family, it appears eligible for the

A row of dentil work adds a classical touch to the single -story home at 315 C Street. A front -facing gabled roof, centered with a
small window and accented with triangular braces, caps the clapboard -sided house. The south half of the front facade contains a
recessed porch with tapered square columns, resting on a solid clapboard -clad railing. A double -hung window is centered in the
north half, while a matching window looks out over the front porch. Double -hung windows are used throughout the rest of the
house. The front door features a large window in the top half. A matching single garage in the back has a carsiding-clad door and
a ca. 1880 walk-in door immediately adjacent to it.
SIGNIFICANCE:
This small house is on property owned for many years by the Tustin family. Sam Tustin inherited the large parcel of land when
his mother, Mary, died in the late teens. Elmer and Nellie Gates bought the house in 1943. Mr. Gates was the Assistant Chief of
the Santa Ana Fire Department. After they moved to Irvine in 1947, Maurice and Agnes Crockett, a retired couple, bought the
home. The house contributes to the historic streetscape of the Tustin Cultural Resources District, and has additional significance
through its associations with the Tustin family, founders of the city.

MC CHARLES HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:
(CTT Y OF TUSSTUN IH aSSTORUCAIL SURVEY
Wide shiplap siding, accented with corner boards,covers the exterior of the 1 and 1/2 storied house shown above. It is now in use
as a restaurant. The steeply -pitched front -facing gabled roof extends downward on the south side, in a bellcast shape, covering an
addition on that side. The eaves are enclosed. Fanci-cut wood shingles and a bellcast hood, which shelters the matched pair of
double -hung windows, accent the gable face. An identical pair of windows is located immediately below, in the first floor of the
front facade. A shed -style dormer on the south side is a later addition and is centered with a row of single -paned casement
windows. The addition on the south side is more than 50 years old and is therefore part of the historic fabric. Two horizontal
windows, one large and one small, occupy the front facade of the addition, while a pair of double -hung and another horizontal
window are located on the south facade. A small entrance porch is located at the front on the north side. It is topped with a
front -facing gable, clad in fanci-cut shingles. Turned posts support the porch roof. The railing is a facsimile of a typical railing
of the period and features a horizontal board with round holes across the top, and plain wood balusters. The front door is accented
with a window in the top third and is decorated with panels trimmed in bead -and -reel molding. It is ca. 1900-1905. Another pair
of tall, narrow double -hung windows and a small single -paned window occupy the remainder of the north facade. On the south
side, behind the addition, is a small entry porch. There are three additions to the original house and all blend well with the
original architecture except the stucco -clad section at the very back. It is not visible from the street and is fairly unobtrusive. A
skylight is located on the north side of the roof, near the front, and the original red brick chimney can be seen at the top of the
roof. This house retains most of its original architectural character, is in remarkable condition, and is a unique example of the
Queen Anne style.
