M . T I hA.y IIS 170 North A Street December 11, 2018 Page 2 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Owners of historic homes or commercial buildings in Tustin are eligible to participate in the City's plaque designation program, called the Tustin Historic Register Plaque Program. The purpose of the voluntary program is to recognize Tustin's historic properties, educate the public, increase public interest in historic properties, and promote community pride. The plaques display the construction date of the building, up to two (2) lines of text, and the words "Tustin Historic Register." The bronze plaques may be mounted on the residence or set on metal stakes. 1915 The program guidelines require nominations to be provided to the Tustin Preservation Conservancy and the Tustin Area Historical Society to identify the L*��Z�v LIS proper name and date of construction. In this case, both the Conservancy and Historical Society Plaque on display at the Tustin approved of the plaque designation. For residences, Garage Building on El Camino the historical property name has recognized the most Real/611 Street prominent owner or occupant of the residence. This criterion distinguishes the residence from other residences in Old Town Tustin or when the surname could be associated with more than one (1) prominent resident. As discussed below, the Callaham House is an appropriate name based on the original owners, Mr. and Mrs. Dewey M. Callaham, who purchased the property on August 11, 1923. The Conservancy and Historical Society have both indicated their concurrence with the proposed name and date of the property. 170 North A Street The current property owners, Mr, and Mrs. Ryan Winger, are nominating the property at 170 North A Street for addition to the Tustin Historic Register Plaque Program. The nomination is being brought forward to recognize that the building is a significant example of the California Bungalow architectural style in the City of Tustin and was constructed in 1923-24. The property is located outside the Cultural Resources District and is identified in the City's 1990 and 2003 Historical Resources Surveys. Both surveys estimated the structure was built in 1915; however, based on staff research and input from Orange County Assessor's Office, the residential structure was actually constructed in 1923-24, and the original residents, as discussed below, took occupancy by the end of 1924 when their names appear in the 1925 South Orange County Directory. 170 North A Street December 11, 2018 Page 3 This structure has a C rating in the 1990 Historical Resources Survey and a 5D1 rating in the 2003 Historical Resources Survey (Attachment C). The 5D1 rating indicates that the structure is a contributor to a fully documented district that is designated or eligible for designation as a local historic district, overlay zone, or preservation area under an existing ordinance or procedure. According to the 2003 survey, this building is significant as an example of the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style in Tustin. Many homes built in Tustin during 1920s are of the bungalow style. Character defining features of this residential building include, but are not limited to the following: • Low pitched roof with side-facing gable and open eaves • Decorative exposed rafters • Full porch and wood porch column bases • Two(2) large double-hung windows flank the centered front door The property was originally part of a grove located on the north side of First Street. James E. Neal, Margaret Neal and E.E. Wild subdivided the land in 1922 into Tract 347. The NealMild subdividers later sold the property to Alan H. Holford, a local contractor and builder, who constructed the home on Parcel 14 of Tract 347, which is now known as 170 North A Street. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey M. Callaham moved into the home by the end of 1924. Mr. Dewey was a local businessman who owned Callaham Hardwood Floors in Tustin for fifty-two (52) years, became a great-grandfather in 1966, and passed away on May 20, 1983, at the age of 83. According to articles in the Santa Ana Register, Dewey and Elizabeth Callaham were active in the Tustin Union High School Parent-Teacher Association for many years. Based on the naming criteria designated by the Planning Commission, staff recommends the Planning Commission, in their capacity as Historic and Cultural Resources Advisors, approve the plaque designation with the name "Callaham House - 1924", due to the original owners of the property and their prominence in the Tustin community.
