Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival
A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew
upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but
not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance
than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their
Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the façade and are often multi-paned
cas ement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION :
As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places, the Kelly House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Kelly House also qualifies for
listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Propert ies under Criterion 1 for its exemp lification of the distinguishing characteristics
of the English Revival style . Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall
character and history” of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the English Rev ival style in the Floral Park neighborhood “is a good
example of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
