Signature features of the style include steeply pitched <br />gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building <br />features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious <br />examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in <br />the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small <br />scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated <br />with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Head-Wimpey House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact <br />example of a Tudor Revival tract home in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because <br />it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period <br />architecture," representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal 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 />5S3: Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation <br />
