EXECUTIVE SUMMARY W.W. Woods House 2208 North Greenleaf Street Santa Ana, CA 92706 NAME W.W. Woods House 7-71 REF. NO. ADDRESS 2208 North Greenleaf Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1929 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT None NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION JM CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 6S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of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 roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, 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 rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the facade 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 W.W. Woods House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification 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 Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the English Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-2.2).
