Page 8 Happy gardening!!! Michael & Cindy Mello, Alan Anderson Award Winners by Karen Blue Wevers Mike and Cindy Mello have lived at 904 N. Olive since 2008. Previously they rented a home from Margaret Lang on Towner Street and wanted to stay in Washington Square when they were able to buy. Their house is a Spanish Mission Revival, with a red tiled roof, built in 1927. The Spanish Colonial Revival style was an architectural movement in the United States in the early 20th century based on the Spanish colonization of the Americas. This style is characterized by smooth plaster on the exterior of the house, red tile roofs, and small patios at the front. This home, due to its age and unique architecture, is protected by the Mills Act, which requires owners to preserve the historical integrity of their property. Of historical interest are the arches, to the right side of the house and in front of the patio. The exterior of the home has not required any renovation. The yard, however, was in pretty bad shape when the couple first moved in. Since Mike was raised on a farm in Northern California, he was sensitive to the water shortage in our state and wanted the landscape of his yard to be drought tolerant. His wife Cindy’s college roommate was a landscape architect, so they asked her to help them design their yard, which was completed in 2009. She combined existing features with new plantings. To begin with, the house already had a beautiful Camphor tree, a large evergreen tree, with leaves that have a glossy, waxy appearance and smell like Vicks VapoRub, when crushed. This beautiful tree provides much needed shade for the house. continued on page 5 Page 2 www.Washington-Square.org and a little work Washington Square is F now and then TheNeighborhood Master Gardeners ofGeneral Orange County Meeting will give a Thursday, presentation on WATERApril BETTER—NOT14th 7PM WETTER.
