It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and <br />popularized by American architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public blrildings and commercial buildings, the <br />vocabulary of the style also influenced the appearance of ornate homes. Characteristic features associated with the residential usage <br />'ofthe style generally include masonry or stucco exteriors; hipped tile roofs; pilasters, columns, quoins, and other classical details; and <br />a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Lower stories are generally emphasized through their proportions and fenestration. <br />eches are incorPorated into the majority of the designs, often referring to Palladian precedents. <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />The George House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical <br />Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion I for its exemplification of <br />the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its <br />,age, style, scale, and historic association with a prominent member of the local business community. In addition, the George House <br />has been categorized as "Landmark" because the blrilding "appears to be eligible", to be placed on the National Register and the <br />California Register and "has a unique architectural significance" as an elegant and intact example of the Italian Renaissance Revival <br />style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> <br />,'. <br /> <br />EXPLANATION OI(CODES: - " "-,, <br />- . ,"'."'., .' <br />.:' , '. .
