Santa Ana Historic Register

The Ebell Society of Santa Ana Valley, organized in 1894, completed their building fund and constructed their own clubhouse in 1924. It was designed in a Spanish/Mediterranean Revival style by locally prominent architect Frederick Eley.

The Santa Ana-Tustin Young Men’s Christian Association building was described as a veritable “hall of health” and a “character-building center” for boys and young men in the newspaper articles that heralded its opening on April 25, 1924.
