INTRODUCTION

McKenna et al. (Appendix A) initiated the cultural resources investigations for the prop-

erty redevelopment of the properties associated with the El Sol Academy in the City of

Santa Ana, Orange County, California, at the request of The Planning Center, Santa

Ana, California. Pacific Charter School Development is proposing demolish remaining

buildings within the properties and construct a new complex that will include school

buildings, a community health center, parking, and play areas. This redevelopment will

involve lots both north and south of Halesworth Street (see later discussion). This in-

vestigation was completed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act

(CEQA 1970), as amended, and, if deemed necessary, the National Environmental Pol-

icy Act (NEPA 1969), as amended.

PROJECT LOCATION

The proposed El Sol Academy redevelopment project area is located on the west side

of North Broadway and between 10th Street and Washington Street (Figure 1). This ar-

ea is associated with Township 5 South Range 10 West, and Section 12 (Figure 2). Il-

lustrated in Figures 3 and 4, the Assessor parcels involved in this project include APNs

398-541-018 and -019 (north side of Halesworth Street) and APN 398-552-019 (south of

Halesworth Street). Lot lines were adjusted as recently as 2009.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

The Current El Sol Academy project area is located north of the City of Santa Ana Civic

Center, on the west side of Broadway and north of 10th Street. The two properties are

located on either side of Halesworth Street. This area of Santa Ana was annexed into

the town/city shortly after 1900 and as the city grew into an urban community.

Geologically, the City of Santa Ana is located within the Peninsular Ranges of western

North America and consisting of northwest to southeast trending geologic blocks locat-

ed between the Transverse Ranges in Los Angeles Basin and the border with Mexico.

The area is also associated with the Santa Ana River floodplain, the southeastern ex-

tent of the Los Angeles coastal plain (Norris and Webb 1990:277).

The Santa Ana River drains the northwestern part of the province. Surficial deposits

have been identified as Quaternary younger and older alluvial deposits overlying marine

deposits. The terrain is generally flat, with the immediate exception of the Santa Ana

Mountains.

A detailed geotechnical study was completed for portion of this project area in 2003

(addressing 1016 and 1020 N. Broadway) and a supplemental study is currently being

completed to address the remainder of the project area. GeoTek, Inc. (2003:4) de-

scribed the identified deposits as:

“… Silty Sand some layers of Silt, Silty Clay, Clay, and Sand. A soft layer

of Clay was encountered between 26 and 35 feet … based on the results

of the field-testing … the coarse-grained alluvium, such as Silty Sand and

Sand, is described as generally loose to medium dense in the upper 35

feet, and medium dense to dense below 35 feet. The fine-grained alluvi-

um, such as Silt, Silty Clay, and clay between 26 and 35 feet … and the

very stiff layer of Clay encountered below 49 feet …”

No natural soils or vegetation were present at the time of the recent survey, however, in

a natural setting, this area would have been associate with the Coastal Sage Scrub Bio-

tic community.

The project area is currently developed, including one residential property, one com-

mercial structure (a second commercial structure was removed in 2012), and a series of

parking lots now covered with temporary school rooms (Figure 5).

CULTURE HISTORY BACKGROUND

The current project area is located within the traditional territory of the Gabrielino/

Tongva, the Native American population associated with the greater Los Angeles Basin

and northern Orange County (see Kroeber 1925 and 1976; Johnston 1962, and

McCawley 1996). The area is also peripheral to the traditional territory of the Juaneno

of central and southern Orange County. Because of the urban nature of the project ar-

ea, the following discussion on the prehistoric occupation of the area is relatively brief.

In short, the prehistoric occupation of Southern California can be archaeologically identi-

fied to 10,000-12,000 years B.P. (before present) and characterized by four major

chronological horizons: Early, Middle, Late, and Proto-historic periods. Resources have

been identified as isolated artifacts to full and complex village sites. Johnston’s map of

Gabrielino villages identifies the nearest village as that of Pasbengna, stating:

“… Pasbengna, on the Santa Ana River, approximately on the spot where

the modern city of Santa Ana had its own beginnings …”

The project area, although previously developed, is within an area that is known to be

associated with the prehistoric/proto-historic presence of Native Americans and evi-

dence of their activities may be present in a buried context. However, given the extent

of excavations for the commercial buildings at N. Broadway and Halesworth Street, the

potential for such resources to be identified is lessened, although the area should still

be considered moderately sensitive.

Historically, the project area is located within the boundaries of the historic Rancho San-

tiago de Santa Ana (Avina 1932). This rancho was described by santaanahistory.com

as follows:

A Spanish land grant that lay entirely in what is now Orange County, the

Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, became the location of the city of Santa

Ana. The Rancho was the home of two of the oldest families in California,

the Yorbas and the Peraltas. Consisting of 62,516 acres, the rancho ex-

tended along the east bank of the Santa Ana River from the mountains to

the sea. Settled early enough to provide homes for the third and fourth

generations of the Yorbas and the Peraltas, it was eventually the location

of at least 33 historic adobes. C.E. Roberts (W.P.A. Adobe project, 1936)

considered it to be one of the very best examples of California ranchos.


The town of Santa Ana was officially founded in 1869, but references to a settlement

date back to the 1850s (Gudde 1998:344-345). Goddard and Goddard (1994) summa-

rized the City of Santa Ana was established within approximately 72 acres purchased

by William H. Spurgeon from Jacob Ross, Sr. Ross purchased his land directly from the

Yorbas.

The “town” of Santa Ana was originally platted as consisting of twenty-four blocks with

ten lots each. The external boundaries were identified as First through Seventh Streets

(south to north) and Broadway (West Street) to Spurgeon Street (west to east). The

post office was opened in 1870 and the City was incorporated in 1886. The Santa Fe

Railroad was completed to Santa Ana in 1887-88. Spurgeon tapped artesian wells for

water and a gravity fed system was established. Orange County was established in

1889 and Santa Ana was named the County Seat. The County Courthouse was con-

structed in 1901 at Sixth Street and West (Broadway) and the City began to expand

outside the original boundaries. Based on the original boundaries, the current project

area is outside the original town site. Historic Sanborn maps suggest the project area

was annexed into the City of Santa Ana shortly after 1900, although it was occupied

earlier.

Research showed both properties were eventually owned by brothers. In this case, Wil-

liam W. Halesworth purchased the property north of Halesworth Street and west of

West Street (now Broadway) in ca. 1873 (arrived in the area in 1872). William W.

Halesworth was the eldest son of Simon and Hannah Halesworth (both of England).

Simon and Hannah immigrated to the United States prior to 1850 and William was born

in 1851. Records are conflicted – listing William’s place of birth as Pennsylvania and/or

Illinois. His younger brother, Edwin R. Halesworth, was born in Illinois in 1858.

William Halesworth moved to Santa Ana before his extended family. They (Simon,

Hannah, and Edwin) followed in 1876 and purchased property south of Halesworth

Street. Maps suggest William owned the property bounded by Halesworth Street

(south), Ross Street (west), Lemon Street (north; now Washington Street), and West

Street (east; now Broadway), and may have owned the properties as far north as 14th

Street. His street address is listed as 1314 N. West Street.

Simon (1811-1881) and Hannah (1819-1905) purchased land south of Halesworth

Street and west of Broadway, but occupied a residence at 1114 N. West Street (within

William’s land). William and Simon were identified as farmers. Simon had a walnut or-

chard and William had grapes (raisons), fruit trees, and bred horses. William (1851-

1930) married Martha Durant (1831-1938) and all four are buried in the Fairhaven Me-

morial Park.


Edwin R. Halesworth (1858-1921) married Rosella Delong (1860-1956). Research

suggests Edwin and Rosella Halesworth had no biological children, but adopted a

daughter, Stella (1906-1996). Rosella Halesworth was widowed in 1921 and remarried

– listed as Rosella Halesworth Knudson at the time of her death in 1956.

William W. Haleworth Subdivision

The William W. Halesworth property was still outside the town/city of Santa Ana in 1894.

On July 26, 1894, he filed a plat map that incorporated his property into the town (“Plat

of Halesworths Addition to the Town of Santa Ana”) defined by West Street (east),

Halesworth Street (south), Ross Street (west), and Lemon Street (north). Illustrated in

Figure 6, this plat identified four lots fronting West Street, four lots fronting Ross Street,

four lots fronting Lemon Street, and another four lots fronting Halesworth Street.

Figure 6. William W. Halesworth Plat Map, 1884.


The property within the current project area, north of Halesworth Street, involves 1 ½

parcels facing Halesworth Street (as indicated by shaded property in Figure 6). At the

time of this survey, the property was covered with asphalt and had been used as a park-

ing lot prior to the placement of temporary classrooms. Sanborn maps do not cover this

area until after 1906. By 1949, the Sanborn map illustrates residences along Hales-

worth Street, including development within the project area (Figure 7). These residenc-

es were still present in 1969 (via Sanborn Maps), but not illustrated on the 1968 aerial

photograph. They were demolished sometime between 1952 and 1968.

Figure 7. Sanborn Map of 1949.

The Sanborn maps identified the properties north of Halesworth Street as 329, 327, and

317 Halesworth Street. Directories identify the following occupants (Table 1). As de-

rived from the data in Table 1, occupation of the properties north of Halesworth Street

occurred between 1920 and 1966, but may have included earlier occupation. In any

case, the properties were cleared of residences by 1968 and have been used as a park-

ing area prior to the placement of the temporary classrooms. Evidence of these early


residences may be present in the form or foundations, piping, privies, septic tanks or

cesspools, basements, or refuse concentrations.

Edwin R. Halesworth Subdivision

The Edwin R. Halesworth subdivision has a slightly different history. Edwin R. Hales-

worth arrived in Santa Ana in 1876, at the age of 18. He was living with his parents and

brother on West Street and worked locally as a laborer. His parents purchased the

property south of Halesworth Street and this property was under cultivation between


1876 and 1881, when Simon died. The cultivation likely continued with the assistance

of Edwin and William, with Hannah living with William and his wife, Martha, at 1114

West Street. Edwin remained in the area until after 1892, when he relocated to San

Bernardino. While in San Bernardino, Edwin designed and patented an “adjustable lo-

comotive-pilot and draw bar,” suggesting he may have been working for the railroad.

He returned to Santa Ana in ca. 1902, when his mother (long widowed) transferred her

holding to Edwin (unmarried). The property deeded to Edwin R. Halesworth is de-

scribed as:

“ … commencing at the South West corner of Halesworth and West

Streets in said City, running thence West 307 feet, more or less to the land

of Riverine, thence South 282 ½ feet more or less to land formerly belong-

ing to Louise Waite, now belonging to Horace Fine, thence East 307 feet,

more or less to the West line of West Street, thence North along the Wet

side of Werst Street 282 ½ feet more or less to the point of beginning.”

Sometime between 1902 and 1905, Edwin Halesworth married Rosella Delong (also

referenced as “Lucetta”). At this time, Edwin was 44-47 years of age and Rosella was

42-45 years of age. Having married late in life, they adopted their daughter, Stella (b.

1906).

Edwin R. Halesworth subdivided his land in 1905. Illustrated in Figure 8, the E.R.

Halesworth subdivision resulted in the definition of eight (8) parcels – three facing

Halesworth Street and the remaining five (5) facing West Street. Prior to 1905, there is

no record of structural improvements within the property. In fact, a brief biography of

Edwin Halesworth (Haas 1936:176) states he built two houses on two lots in c. 1905-

1906 – one for personal use and one for sale.

The personal residence was located at 316 Halesworth Street (Lot 8). The property

slated for sale was located at 1016 West Street (Lot 2). The Sanborn map for 1906 in-

dicates the property on West Street was developed first and the personal residence fol-

lowed (as the personal residence is not illustrated).

Addresses identified along Halesworth Street included 302, 310, 312, 316, 320, and 324

Halesworth. The properties at 302 and 310 Halesworth were cross-referenced with the

West Street frontage. Table 2 lists the occupants of the remaining four addresses – as

derived from directories.


Figure 8. E.R. Halesworth Subdivision of 1905.

As presented in Table 2, it is apparent Rosella Delong Halesworth’s relatives lived adja-

cent to E.R. and Rosella Halesworth (312 v. 316 Halesworth Street) and were likely

long-time Santa Ana residents. In addition, Rosella Halesworth is associated with

Hjalmar Knudson by 1930, having remarried sometime between 1925 and 1930 (E.R.

Halesworth having died in 1921).

Another name associated with 316 Halesworth is William F. Kredel. Edwin and Roset-

ta’s daughter, Stella, married Frank Kredel in ca. 1925 and lived in Santa Ana. They

had two children, Frank Jr. (b. 1927) and Edwin (b. 1932). William F. Kredel is likely a

grandchild of Stella and great grandchild of Edwin and Rosetta Halesworth. He eventu-

ally lived in the family home following the passing of Rosetta (1956-1990 +/-), Rosetta

having died in 1956. As such, a Halesworth (by surname) or Halesworth heir lived in

the residence at 316 Halesworth Street from its original construction in ca. 1906 until ca.

1991. Aerial photographs illustrate this residence is present in 1989, but gone by 1994.

In fact, 316, 320, and 324 Halesworth were all demolished between 1989 and 1994.

The residence at 312 Halesworth was demolished in preparation for the redevelopment

of Lot 1 (between 1963 and 1968) as the Halesworth Building.

In 2003, GeoTeck, Inc. conducted testing on the properties identified as 1016 and 1020

N. Broadway. The Halesworth Buildings at 1020 N. Broadway was described as a four-

story commercial concrete framed building with 18-inch diameter drilled cast in place

piers below the basement floor. The building was designed in 1965 and constructed

shortly thereafter (Figure 9). This building was demolished in 2012 and not available for

more definitive examination or description.

Figure 9. Commercial Building at 1020 N. Broadway (from GoogleEarth 2012; West).

A visual examination of this building via aerial photographs (see Figures 9 and 10)

showed this building to be a fairly typical 1960s commercial structure with relatively flat

walls and windows, not definitive architectural design elements, and minimal landscap-

ing.

The commercial building at 1016 was described by GeoTek, Inc. (2003) as a two-story

wood framed structure with reinforced concrete block bearing walls. This structure was

constructed prior to the redevelopment of 1020 N. Broadway, replacing a single family


residential development, but the exact date of construction is still unknown. Based on

aerial photographs and Sanborn maps, the building was constructed sometime between

1958 and 1963 (Figure 12).

Figure 10. North Elevation of 1020 N. Broadway (Halesworth Street frontage;

From GoogleEarth 2012; Southwest).

According to notations on the Sanborn map of 1963, this commercial building is a con-

crete structure with steel beam reinforcements. It was designed to be an office building.

As illustrated in 1963, this structure was designed as an “L” shaped building with a re-

cessed northeastern corner. Today, the building is rectangular, reflecting alterations to

the original plan and the resurfacing of the structure with more modern materials (e.g.

stucco; Figure 13). The wall adjacent to the 1020 N. Broadway is flat and windowless,

indicating knowledge of future development to the north. In addition, some windows on

the south elevation have been sealed with cinderblocks, altering the fenestration on this

elevation. Overall, the commercial structure at 1016 N. Broadway is a modern addition

to the area (early 1960s) and reflects significant alterations in plan (footprint) and fenes-

tration (windows). The building is plain and reflects no unique or identifiable architec-

tural design elements. The materials are generic and this structure has not been asso-

ciated with any significant persons or events.


Figure 11. North Elevation of 1016 N. Broadway (South/Southeast).

Figure 12. Sanborn Map of 1963.


Figure 13. East Elevation of 1016 N. Broadway (West).

The residential structure once located at 1012 N. Broadway has been demolished. The

surface of the property has been covered in asphalt and used as a parking area and,

more recently, a school access and recreation yard.

The only two structures remaining and representing the early development within the

E.R. Halesworth Subdivision are the residential buildings at 1008 and 1010 N. Broad-

way. Of these, 1008 N. Broadway is NOT within the El Sol Academy project area. The

residence at 1010 N. Broadway IS within the project area. In this case, there is an al-

ternative that would require the demolition of this structure and the redevelopment of the

area. At this time, there is no suggestion to relocate the structure.

When Lot 4 was originally developed, the lot was elongated and extended from West

Street (now Broadway) for a distance of 307 feet deep into the block. The 1949

Sanborn map illustrates a second dwelling to the rear of the lot, adjacent to the gar-

age(s) and noted as 1006 N. Broadway. With the exception of the main single family

residence, none of the other structures existed at the time of this investigation. The rear

portions of the property are now incorporated into the El Sol Academy complex and in-

clude temporary classrooms.


Research has shown this property was identified as the result of the 1905 E.R. Hales-

worth Subdivision. The residence was not constructed at the time of the 1906 Sanborn

mapping, but shortly thereafter. The chain of title for the property showed Halesworth

sold the property to H.B. Asadoorian of San Diego in 1905 (Lots 4 and 5), but there is

no evidence to indicate Asadoorian ever occupied the property.

Hazob (a physician) and his wife, Mariam Asadoorian, were natives of Turkey who, in

1900, were identified as living in Carbon, Utah. Hazob arrived in the United States in

1886, but his wife did not arrive until 1897. It is quite possible this was an arranged

marriage. Their son, Narcis (aka Theodore), was born in 1889, in Utah. In ca. 1905,

the Asadoorians were living in San Diego and, by 1910, they are listed in the U.S. Cen-

sus as living in Pasadena. Hazob was a practicing physician in Pasadena.

In 1907, the Asadoorians, residing in Los Angeles County, sold Lots 4 and 5 to Susan

C. Halsell, a widow. Again, there is no indication the property was developed. Susan

C. Halsell sold Lots 4 and 5 to J.B. Lockett of Orange County. Mary Lockett, widow of

J.B., is the first occupant identified in the local directories (ca. 1910-1911), suggesting

the Locketts developed the property between the time of purchase (1908) and the first

listing in 1910. Based on the various sources of information, McKenna et al. has dated

the construction of this residence to 1909-1910 and attributes the improvements to the

Locketts.

Illustrated in Figure 14, this residence is a two story structure with a rectangular plan

oriented west/east on the property. There are pop-out windows on the north and south

elevations that interrupt the basic rectangular plan (Figure 15). The northeastern corner

of the structure incorporates a covered porch area the protruded slightly beyond the rest

of the east elevation.

When this residence was original constructed, it served as a single family residence

with a covered main entry (on the porch) and another doorway on the west elevation (in

the rear yard). There is also evidence of a side entrance on the south elevation, but this

may have been a later addition to the property (exhibiting a brick stoop as opposed to

the concrete stoop at the main entrance).

This residence was built on a raised foundation with a small cellar under the northwest-

ern corner of the structure. This cellar is accessed through a doorway and concrete

step entrance outside the rear doorway. There are vents around the base of the build-

ing, airing the crawl spaces outside the boundaries of the cellar. While there is some

piping evident under the house, additional piping has been added to the exterior of the

house, indicating updating of the amenities (e.g. plumbing and electrical).

This structure exhibits double hung sash windows with “ears,” some small casement

windows in areas of the bathrooms and service rooms, and fixed and casement win-

dows in the pop-out elements. The porch, which was likely open in the original design,

is now enclosed with salvaged French doors/windows. The roof line exhibits differing

heights and designs, but generally consisted of hipped-gable and shed designs covered

with composition shingles. The eaves ore relatively wide with exposed rafters. There is

wood shingles and lattice work under the peak of the east elevation and a decorative

spindle on the peak of the roof. The entire building is sided with wide clapboard planks.

Alterations to this structure include the closing on the door on the south elevation and

the addition of a door on the north elevation (likely the same door, simply moved) and

accessed by a wooden staircase; the addition of a second-story access on the west el-

evation – also accessed through a wooden staircase; the closing of a small window on

the south elevation, near the southwest corner of the building; and the enclosing of the

porch. Additional concrete has been poured in the rear yard, but there is evidence of

the original walkways. At least two mature trees have been removed, but others re-

main.

The majority of the alterations to this structure involve the interior of the building. Re-

search indicates this structure was maintained as a single family residence until ca.

1925, when Dr. D.J. Cleland occupied the property. Dr. Cleland remained on the prop-

erty until after 1946 and directories indicate he operated a medical office out of the resi-

dence. Alterations to accommodate the medical practice likely included the addition of

the access door on the south elevation and the adaptation of portions of the first story

into patient areas.

In 1950, this structure was used as a chiropractor’s office (Dr. Koentopp from 1950 to

1975, Dr. Waters until 1995) and more recently, the school administration office. Altera-

tions completed during the later medical practices included separating the upper and

lower floors to provide the medical offices on the first floor and adapting the upper floor

as living space, including adding a second kitchen.

It was also during this time (post-1950) the second story entry was added – following

the removal of the interior staircase. The entry on the north elevation was also added at

this time, possibly replacing a window. In any case, there has been some significant

alterations to the building, although it still retains its “residential” design.

McKenna et al. would categorize the structure as a relatively simple Victorian – specifi-

cally, a Folk Victorian, described by Craven (2012) as follows:


“Folk Victorian is a generic, vernacular Victorian style. Builders added

spindles or Gothic windows to simple square and L-shaped buildings. A

creative carpenter with a newly-invented jigsaw may have created compli-

cated trim, but look beyond the fancy dressing and you'll see a no-

nonsense farmhouse.”

This structure is one of two remaining structures of the pre-1910 development within the

E.R. Halesworth subdivision. Nonetheless, it is a basic, simple Folk Victorian structure

exhibiting significant alterations. It has not been associated with any significant per-

son(s) or event(s).

METHODOLOGY

To adequately address the cultural resources investigations for the current project area,

McKenna et al. completed the following tasks for CEQA and NEPA compliance:

1. Archaeological Records Search: McKenna et al. had a standard archaeo-

logical records search through the California State University, Fullerton,

South Central Coastal Information Center, Fullerton. This facility is the lo-

cal repository for all documentation pertaining to previous cultural re-

source studies completed in Orange County (Appendix B).

2. Native American Consultation: McKenna et al. contacted the Native

American Heritage Commission to inquire into any records pertaining to

the project area and its immediate surroundings (Appendix C). McKenna

et al. also obtained a listing of local Native American representatives wish-

ing notification of projects and letters were sent to these individuals/

groups. Responses, if received, were incorporated into this technical re-

port.

3. Historic Background Research: McKenna et al. researched the history of

the project area through the County Assessor’s Office, County Recorder’s

Office, County Archives, and the historic map library at UC Riverside. In

addition, McKenna et al. reviewed historic aerial photographs, Sanborn

Maps, and City Directories made available through research from Envi-

ronmental Data Resources, Inc. (Appendix F). All pertinent data was in-

corporated into the analysis and presented in this technical report.


4. Paleontological Overview: McKenna et al. arranged for a paleontological

overview through the Los Angeles county Museum of Natural history (Ap-

pendix D). McKenna et al. also reviewed paleontological overviews com-

pleted specifically for McKenna et al. for nearby projects.

5. Field Survey: McKenna et al. conducted the field survey of this project ar-

ea on two occasions: August 30, 2012, and September 8, 2012. The sur-

vey was completed by Jeanette A. McKenna, Principal Investigator for

McKenna et al. The survey consisted of a visual inspection of the property

from accessible vantage points along Halesworth Street, N. Broadway,

and within the El Sol Academy campus.

The property was fenced at the time of the filed visit, but accessed with

the permission of the Academy personnel. The field studies were sup-

plemented by field notes (on file, McKenna et al.) and a photographic rec-

ord (Appendix E).

6. Analysis of the Data Compiled: McKenna et al. analyzed the data com-

piled from the various sources to assess the relatively sensitivity of the

property to yield evidence of paleontological resources (buried), archaeo-

logical resources (ruins or buried resources), or historic resources (stand-

ing structures or features). This analysis was designed to determine the

presence and/or absence of cultural resources and whether or not identi-

fied resources met the criteria for recognition as significant historical re-

sources, as defined by CEQA and NHPA.

7. Report Preparation: This technical report was prepared in a format re-

quested by San Bernardino County and the Office of Historic Preservation.

All required and/or pertinent data to illustrate an understanding of the pro-

ject area and complete a preliminary evaluation of any identified resource

has been included. In addition, as deemed appropriate, recommendations

for additional studies or mitigation of adverse impacts has been presented.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The criteria for evaluating cultural resources is presented in both the National Historic

Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as

amended.


Federal Guidelines

Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register is

part of the national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to iden-

tify, evaluate, and protect historic and archaeological resources. The National Register

is administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of

the Interior. The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of build-

ings, structures, objects, sites, and districts worthy of preservation because of their sig-

nificance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture.

The National Register of Historic Places recognizes resources of local, state, and na-

tional significance which have been documented and evaluated according to uniform

standards and criteria.

State Guidelines

The California Register of Historical Resources program encourages public recogni-

tion and protection of re-sources of architectural, historical, archaeological and cultural

significance, identifies historical resources for state and local planning purposes, deter-

mines eligibility for state historic preservation grant funding and affords certain protec-

tions under the California Environmental Quality Act. The California Historical Re-

sources Commission has designated this program for use by state and local agencies,

private groups and citizens to identify, evaluate, register and protect California’s histori-

cal resources. The Register is the authoritative guide to the state’s significant historical

and archaeological resources.

Landmarks are buildings, sites, features, or events that are of statewide significance

and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific or

technical, religious, experimental, or other historical value. The specific standards now

in use were first applied in the designation of Landmark #770. California Historical

Landmarks #770 and above are automatically listed in the California Register of Histori-

cal Resources.

California Points are buildings, sites, features, or events that are of local (city or coun-

ty) significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, eco-

nomic, scientific or technical, religious, experimental, or other historical value. Points of

Historical Interest designated after December 1997 and recommended by the State His-

torical Resources Commission will also be listed in the California Register. No historical

resource may be designated as both a Landmark and a Point. If a Point is subsequent-

ly granted status as a Landmark, the Point designation will be retired.


PREVIOUS RESEARCH

The archaeological records search was completed by Jeanette A. McKenna, at the Cali-

fornia State University, Fullerton, South Central Coastal Information Center (CSUF-

Consent of the owner is not required, but a resource cannot be listed over the owner’s objections.


SCCIC; September 5, 2012). This repository houses all data pertaining to previously

completed cultural resources investigations in Orange County.

Research confirmed the El Sol Academy project area was not previously surveyed or

addressed for cultural resources. The nearest project was completed for the One

Broadway Plaza (Padon and Grimes 2002) – opposite the El Sol Academy and on the

east side of N. Broadway. Table 4 presents a summary of reports filed at the CSUF-

SCCIC for a one and a half mile radius surrounding the project area. A minimum of for-

ty-three (43) studies were identified. Some of these studies resulted in the identification

of cultural resources, but most did not. It should be noted that many of these projects

were completed at a time when historic period resources (predominantly, standing

structures) were not included in the inventory.

To be designated eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources, a resource must meet at

least one of the criteria listed below.

Criteria for Designation:

1. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of

local or regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States;

2. Associated with the lives of persons important to local, California or national history;

3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction

or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values;

4. Has yielded, or has the potential to yield information important to the prehistory or history

of the local area, California, or the nation.

Effects of Designation:

Limited protection: Environmental review may be required under California Environ-

mental Quality Act (CEQA) if property is threatened by a project;

Local Assessor may enter into contract with property owner for property tax reduction

(Mills Act);

Local building inspector must grant code alternative provided under State Historic

Building Code;

Owner may place his or her own plaque or marker at the site of the resource.

Consent of the owner is not required, but a resource cannot be listed over the owner’s objections.

The State Historic Resources Commission can, however, formally determine a property eligible for

the California Register if the resource owner objects.

As a result of the studies identified above, numerous resources were identified in the

areas surrounding the El Sol Academy project area. These are summarized in Table 5.

In reviewing these records, it became apparent the residences on the 300 block of

Halesworth Street and the 1000 block of N. Broadway were assessed at one time.

These records, however, were not accessible at the CSUF-SCCIC. Summarized below,

seven structures were assessed.

30-160537 2701-0086-0045 316 Halesworth St. (1906) (3S)

36-160538 2701-0086-0046 328 Halesworth St. (1915) (5D2)

30-160539 2701-0086-0047 334 Halesworth St. (1909) (5D2)

30-160540 2701-0086-0048 338 Halesworth St. (1911) (5D2)

30-160449 2701-0043-0000 1004 N. Broadway (1903) (7N)

30-160451 2701-0045-0000 1008 N. Broadway (1919) (5S2)

30-160452 2701-0046-0000 1010 N. Broadway (1909) (5S2)

Based on the codes for assessment, six of the seven were determined to be ineligible

for recognition as properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places

and/or the California Register of Historical Resources. They are, however, recom-

mended for local recognition. One property, 316 Halesworth Street – the E.R. Hales-

worth residence – was determined to be eligible as an individual (single) resource. De-

spite this eligibility, the property was demolished. The remaining properties on Hales-

worth were recommended as contributing elements of a district.

Of the properties listed above, only one is still within the current project area: 1010 N.

Broadway. When this property was originally assessed, it was recommended to be rec-

ognized as a locally significant resource. However, without the corresponding data,

McKenna et al. cannot state the rationale for this designation. At this time, it is as-

sumed the designation was based on age and architectural design.

It should be noted, no evidence of prehistoric archaeological resources was identified

during the research for the El Sol Academy project area. Likewise, there was no evi-

dence of paleontological resources. Overall, the project area is considered sensitive for

the presence of historic period resources, including standing structures and historic ar-

chaeological deposits, but not prehistoric resources or paleontological resources.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS

Research concluded the project area is not sensitive for prehistoric archaeological re-

source or paleontological resources. McKenna et al. received no responses from the


local Native American community with respect to this area. Therefore no future studies

are warranted with respect to these two areas of investigation.

The recent field survey of the El Sol Academy project area resulted in the confirmation

that the school site is dominated by modern improvements and virtually no native soils

are exposed. There are two relatively early structures within the project area: the 1960s

commercial structure at 1016 N. Broadway and the ca. 1909 residential structure at

1010 N. Broadway (now used as the administrative offices for the school).

Research and the physical examination of the property at 1016 N. Broadway resulted in

the conclusion that this building does not meet the minimum criteria for significance as

presented in the federal or state guidelines. This resource, ca. 1963, is 49 years of age

and, while minimally historic by age, has been altered and no long reflects the original

design. This loss of integrity negates any potential for significance. McKenna et al. has

concluded the removal of this structure will not result in an adverse environmental im-

pact.

With respect to 1010 N. Broadway, earlier evaluation concluded this property is not a

significant resources as defined by the federal or state guidelines, but should be recog-

nized as a locally significant resource. This evaluation was completed prior to the dem-

olition of structures on Halesworth Street and, therefore, sometime prior to 1990. Since

1990, this structure has aged and has been subjected to additional alterations.

McKenna et al. completed research that concluded this residence at 1010 N. Broadway

was constructed in ca. 1909-1910 and the construction is attributed to J.B. and Mary

Lockett. Although the property was originally owned by the Haleworths and subdivided

by E.R. Halesworth, the property was sold at least three times before improvements

were made. Edwin Halesworth did not construct this residence and did not live on this

property. There are no significant persons or events associated with the property. It

was designed as a single family residential property and, after ca. 1925, served as both

a residence and medical office. Alterations are dated to post-1925 and many alterations

appear to post-date 1950. While the exterior plan of the residence has not changed,

elements of the design have been altered, including much of the interior of the building.

The exterior has been subjected to changes in doorways, entries, some windows, pip-

ing, and the addition of air conditioning. The residence is in fair condition, but is also in

need of considerable maintenance.

The extent of alterations to this property has impacted the cultural integrity of the resi-

dence. While the property meets the age requirements for consideration, McKenna et

al. agrees with the initial conclusion that the property is not an eligible resource under


the federal and state guidelines. With respect to local recognition, the property is one of

only two residences within the E.R. Halesworth Subdivision remaining (the other is out-

side the boundaries of the El Sol Academy property). Nonetheless, the improvements

cannot be attributed to the Halesworths and is not an outstanding or unique property.

The residence is a Folk Victorian, meaning it is more a functional and inexpensive style

of construction and not the more ornate or dominating form of residence.

This residence is not unique and is not associated with the use or unusual materials or

design elements. Overall, its only outstanding characteristic is its age. It is not part of a

district or potential district. McKenna et al. has concluded this residence is not a signifi-

cant cultural resource and is not locally significant. Therefore, the loss of this structure

will not result in an adverse environmental impact.

FINDING OF FACT

At this time, there is no evidence of prehistoric or historic archaeological remains, pale-

ontological resources, or human remains within the project area. The standing struc-

tures are not significant resources. Therefore, the proposed project (school develop-

ment) will not result in any known adverse environmental impacts at this time. The pro-

ject will require demolition of existing improvements and significant earthmoving. As

such, there is a potential for the identification or historic archaeological resources in-

dicative of early Santa Ana and the relatively early expansion of Santa Ana. At this

time, McKenna et al. is recommending archaeological monitoring of demolition activities

and initial grading within the project area. The archaeological monitor should be versed

in historic archaeology, but also trained to identify both prehistoric and paleontological

resources, should they be present. The extent and duration of the monitoring program

can be determined in conjunction with the proposed development plans.

If, at any time, evidence of prehistoric archaeological resources is uncovered, a native

American representative should be added to the monitoring program. In addition, on

the off chance human remains are uncovered, the County Coroner must be notified im-

mediately and, if the remains are of Native American origin, the Native American Herit-

age Commission will be notified and the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) will be identi-

fied. In consultation with the City, Proponent, Archaeological Consultant, and MLD, the

disposition of the remains will be determined.

With the implementation of a monitoring program, the avoidance of adverse impacts to

previously unidentified cultural resources will be accomplished.
