This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social <br />needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped -down version of the historic -eclectic styles popular in the <br />1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied <br />requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in <br />this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its <br />efforts to codify and manufacture "a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could <br />afford" (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one- <br />story in height, often with a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor <br />Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof <br />with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer <br />accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi -light casement, double -hung, and picture windows with wood frames. <br />The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House <br />style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often <br />display decorative wood shutters and porch -roof supports. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Hallicy House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example <br />of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it <br />"contributes to the overall character and history" of Floral Park and is a representative example of Minimal Traditional <br />architecture (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 />
