Historic Wintersburg in Huntington Beach, California
Historic Wintersburg is an endangered Japanese American pioneer property in Huntington Beach, Orange County, California. The six structures on the 4 1/2-acre property—comprising the Furuta goldfish and flower farm, and the Wintersburg mission—have been at risk of physical demolition and require preservation to prevent demolition by neglect.〔Demolition by Neglect, Preservation Law Education Materials, National Trust for Historic Preservation, http://www.preservationnation.org/information-center/law-and-policy/legal-resources/preservation-law-101/resources/Demolition-By-Neglect.pdf〕 The property's modern history dates to the land purchase by Japanese pioneers in 1908, as part of the former land holdings of the Rancho Las Bolsas. It's pre history includes centuries of occupation by the Tongva, a native people of California. Historic Wintersburg has been recognized by historians as a rare and significant example of Asian American history, as well representative of Orange County's early agricultural history and the West Coast's immigration and civil liberties history.〔Racing to Save Japanese-American History at Historic Wintersburg Village, PreservationNation, National Trust for Historic Preservation, February 19, 2014, http://blog.preservationnation.org/2014/02/19/race-save-japanese-american-history-historic-wintersburg-village/#.VXeGcEZLUg4〕
== One of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places ==
Historic Wintersburg was named one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places on June 24, 2014, by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.〔Historic Wintersburg Makes National List, Orange County Register, June 23, 2014, http://www.ocregister.com/articles/wintersburg-626930-historic-property.html〕〔Wintersburg Makes the Endangered List, Huntington Beach Independent, June 24, 2014, http://www.hbindependent.com/news/tn-hbi-me-0626-wintersburg-endangered-20140624,0,1306063.story〕 It is considered significant as a Japanese-owned property acquired prior to the Webb-Haney Act, or California Alien Land Law of 1913, which prohibited Japan-born residents from owning property. Historic Wintersburg is endangered because the current land owner rezoned the property in 2013 from residential to commercial / industrial uses, and submitted plans to demolish all six of the site's historic structures. The structures range in age from 70 to 105 years, marking the history of Japanese settlement of the American West as well as the return to California after World War II forced evacuation and confinement in detention and relocation centers.
The 4 ½ -acre property is located in north Huntington Beach, California (GPS Coordinates 33.714751,-117.995242). The Historic Wintersburg site includes six extant structures: 1910 Japanese Presbyterian Mission, 1910 Manse (parsonage), 1934 Great Depression-era Japanese Presbyterian Church, 1912 Furuta bungalow, Furuta barn (1908–1912), and 1947 post-World War II Furuta ranch house.〔Urashima, Mary Adams (2014). Historic Wintersburg in Huntington Beach. History Press, ISBN 9781626193116〕 Historic Wintersburg is part of the 19th-Century Wintersburg Village in north Orange County, annexed into Huntington Beach in 1957.
The Historic Wintersburg property ownership pre-dates California’s Alien Land Laws of 1913 and 1920—state laws that prohibited those ineligible for citizenship, primarily Japanese immigrants, from property ownership. The property, originally five acres, was purchased by Reverend Hisakichi Terasawa and Charles Mitsuji Furuta in 1908.〔Land deed of March 2, 1908, Orange County Recorder, Orange County Archives〕 In 1912, it was deeded by Reverend Terasawa to Charles Mitsuji Furuta in its entirety,〔Land deed of February 28, 1912, Orange County Recorder, Orange County Archives〕 with an understanding the small, northwest portion of the land would house the Japanese Presbyterian Mission.
