Elizabeth A. Binsack Community Development Director EAB:SCR:435WSEC.C6A Ll DATE: ca. 1910 STYLE: CRAFTSMAN SOURCE: RATING: E C ALTERATIONS: S HISTORICAL DISTRICT: YES COMMENT: DESCRIPTION: Several alterations have changed the character of this large I and 1/2-storicd 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 cast 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 cast 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-storicd 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. IGNIFICANCE: This house was constructed sometime between 1908 and 1915 on the NW comer 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. Drcnan, 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 strectseape and visually fits well into the row of prc-1930 houses.
