The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. Preceded by the Mission Revival style, movement received widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish prototypes were showcased. The most common features of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture are low-pitched or flat roofs, usually with little or no overhangs clad in red tiles, asymmetrical facades, and stucco exterior walls. Character-defining features of the style also include arches, towers, elaborated chimney tops, balconies and patios, window grilles, wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Dixon-Morris house qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial 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 Spanish Colonial Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
