HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDING SURVEY (HABS-LIKE)

JANE WAY HISTORIC HOUSE CA-JANE WAY

Location: 4801 Park Avenue Yorba Linda, CA Orange County Date of Construction: 1918 Engineer: N/A Builder: N/A Present Owner: Silvia Chavez Present Use: Vacant single-family residence Significance: The building was built in 1918 in the Craftsman style. The

character defining features of the Craftsman Aeroplane bungalow style include a second-story slightly set back from the façade, low-pitched gabled roofs with wide overhanging eaves, exposed rafter tails and wood brackets, an exterior wall cladding of horizontal wood boards or wood shingles, wood window casings and surrounds, partial or full width porches at the façade with heavy wood piers and fieldstone foundations. The building retains several of these characteristics, including a second-story, a low-pitched roof with wide overhanging eaves and decorative brackets, original wood sash windows, and an exterior wall cladding of horizontal wood boards. The building has not been significantly modified, although there is an early enclosure of the front porch. The property does, however, still contribute to a potential historic district that was identified during a 1981 survey conducted of the “Park Avenue-Park Place Neighborhood.” It appears to be a contributing element to a historic district because the area represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction.
