EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Amling House 1815 North Heliotrope Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 NAME Amling House REF. NO. ADDRESS 1815 North Heliotrope Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1937 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Key HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 1, 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Moderne The Moderne style encompassed the Modernistic, Streamline Moderne, and Art Moderne variants. An evolution of the Art Moderne style, the Streamline 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 Moderne designs, the Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne substyles 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 or metal multi-light casement windows; rounded corners, porthole windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a signature of the style. In common with the Streamline Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in emphasis, but tended to be more clean-lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined counterparts. Art Moderne designs can be recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal casement windows that often meet at the corners of the building.
