It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval thernes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Judd-Wiseman House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a bungalow with the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Heninger Park, and, as an intact and representative example of a Craftsman bungalow, "is a good exarnple of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
