Whether <br />drawing upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building <br />plans and designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are <br />commonly side -gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, <br />are often included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, <br />pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and <br />fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors <br />and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco <br />exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Martian House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history' of the Floral Park neighborhood <br />and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance <br />Series # 7, "How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources,' September 4, 2001.) <br />3: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or <br />represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />• It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the <br />work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />6S3: Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation <br />EXHIBIT B 1 <br />25A-103 <br />
