An evolution of the Art <br />Deco style, the Streamline Moderne flourished during the 1930s and lingered through the decade following World War II <br />in a simplified version. In contrast to the verticality of earlier Art Deco designs, the Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne <br />substyles emphasized the horizontal, through bands of windows, use of decorative raised or incised horizontal lines, <br />railings, flat canopies with banded fascia, and narrow coping at the roofline. Other characteristics include smooth wall <br />surfaces, usually of stucco; metal detailing; glass block or metal multi -light casement windows; rounded corners, porthole <br />windows, and asymmetry. Incorporation of aerodynamic, transportation related imagery, especially nautical, is a signature <br />of the style. In common with the Streamline Moderne, Art Moderne buildings also tended to be horizontal in emphasis, but <br />tended to be more clean -lined and rectilinear in their massing and detailing than their streamlined counterparts. Art <br />Moderne designs can be recognized by their flat roofs, smooth stucco exteriors, and use of metal casement windows that <br />often meet at the corners of the building. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The R.S. McGuire House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an <br />intact example of an Art Moderne style home in Santa Ana.
