It drew from the wood building <br /> traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. <br /> Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of <br /> the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out <br /> to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, <br /> Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams In deep <br /> overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary <br /> material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned <br /> wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. <br /> SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> The Dixon-Heemstra House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for <br /> embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a late Craftsman style residential building. The recommended <br /> categorization is "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Craftsman style (Santa <br /> Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(2)). <br /> EXP1.ANi<CTfON OF_GODES-_ _ <br /> • �Irfornia Register ei ire D>r Evaluation 7ECom_Ga6forn Offroe of His nc=Rr_eservat ion SechniOA sssstaEwe <br /> = mast#-- —'How=ta Na inThIE:esothig -to th Celifornta Register of HLstnrrcal---Reaources eptatilia-4,-ARM <br /> 3.— lt.e7nbQdres=fhe-drstreame g-aiac�-enstiemof a=fype, parro—d,-tiiii pn mefh> ofconsttuG�ton --= <br /> _—__--r:eprs e1 the work=of_a_m Tr; --possesses hrghi=a itisttoWalues ___ --rut= —--- <br /> =• It-em acli the_distmetrve erfaractE_rtst[csref a_typ_e,-perie _legion or-rfiethod oraVrig eti ,fit represents the <br /> Ew=workQfaelnasfer_or possesses-hrghistie_values-- <br /> _—AppeaStab individually eliaati loealli i fdzerdesiglat[otrthrougllsuisey evaLaa ion <br />
