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 />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Burkett House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact and <br />representative example of a Tudor Revival style home. The house is also of interest as it is a unusual example of Tudor <br />Revival featuring clapboard siding. The Burkett House has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the <br />overall character and history" of the Park Santiago neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing <br />the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />
