ADDRESS: 665 MAIN ST (W.) DATE: 1883 STYLE: VICT. - ITALIANATE SOURCE: RATING: T B ALTERATIONS: F HISTORICAL DISTRICT: YES COMMENT: DESCRIPTION: (Cr* ®IF 7I°USTIIN II -I UG-T®IRII(CA L *VEY A truncated hipped roof, with a front -facing gable on the west side of the front facade and another gable facing cast, crowns this fine example of an Italianate home. The.eaves are enclosed and a plain frieze runs below the roof line. A matching front -facing gabled dormer, centered with an arched double -hung window, extends from the front facade of the roof. A pedimented cornice accents the pair of arched double -hung windows centered. below the front -facing gable. All windows are double -hung and arched at the top, with wide molding -trimmed cornices. The louvered shutters are rare and appear to be original. The home is clad in wide shiplap siding, trimmed with corner boards. A square bay, topped by a shed -style roof, is accented with carved brackets and a frieze with a border of arches along the bottom. A trio of matching windows graces the center section of the bay, with matching 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 cast facade. Two pairs of double -hung windows, one on the first floor and one on the second, are located below the gable in the cast 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 eastern -most half of the front facade. This house is very rare, as there arc 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 I. 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 apartmenticondorriinium 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.
