Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals/Other: 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 sloped roof treatment incorporates rakes of uneven lengths, 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 often rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the façade and are
often multi-paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical
in composition.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Anderson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation 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 the Park Santiago neighborhood, and, as an English Revival home, “is a good
example of period architecture” (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
