Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival
The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival
vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include
curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by
large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between
1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama-
California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily
recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof
coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry,
balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Winckler House has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to a North
Broadway Park historic district that is bounded by Riverside Drive, Santa Clara Avenue, North Broadway, and North Flower Street.
Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the Winckler House has been listed in the
California Register. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its
exemplification of the “distinguishing characteristics” of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The house also contributes to the
historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, and scale. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
“Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style and
contributes to a district that has “historical/cultural significance to the City” as an example of the City Beautiful planning movement
(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
