ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of
Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed
honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A
new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of
capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and
hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive
use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and
broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
1920s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Hendrie House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 7 as a former farmhouse, a
building that was “connected with a business or use which was once common, but is now rare,” and under Criterion 1, as a building
with the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period.” Stylistic signatures such as the symmetrical one-story
massing, clapboard siding, clipped or jerkinhead gable roof, and tripartite windows are notable in this regard. Additionally, the house
has been categorized as “Contributive” because it “contributes to the overall character and history” of the Washington Square
neighborhood as a surviving home from the agricultural era, and is a “good example of period architecture” as an unaltered 1920s
Craftsman bungalow influenced by the Colonial Revival. (Municipal Code Section 30-2.2).”
