ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Moderne (Streamlined Moderne)
The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamlined Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the Art Deco
style, the Streamlined Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World War II in a simplified
version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Deco designs, the Streamlined Moderne emphasized the horizontal, through bands
of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal lines, railings, flat canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the
roofline. Other characteristics include smooth wall surfaces, usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block windows; rounded
corners, porthole windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a
signature of the style.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Hagan House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a building with the
“distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period,” the Streamlined Moderne. Additionally, the house has been
categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an unusual and intact example in Santa Ana of a
Streamlined Moderne home from the 1930s (Municipal Code Section 30-2.2).”
