Primary amongst <br />them was Frank Lloyd Wright, under whom Prairie School designs reached their apex. Echoing the uninterrupted horizontal lines of <br />the American prairie, Prairie style homes-it was largely a domestic movement-are usually characterized by broadly pitched hipped <br />roofs with deep overhangs; two stories in height, often with one story wings; front porches with massive porch roof supports; and <br />detailing which emphasizes the horizontal. A common, vernacular interpretation of the type, sometimes referred to as the Prairie Box <br />or the American Foursquare, is box-like in massing and plan, with hipped or gabled dormers, porches across all or a portion of the <br />fayade, and detailing culled from the vocabularies of a variety of styles, including Mission Revival, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman. <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />The Gustlin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of <br />the distinguishing characteristics of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style. It also qualifies for the Register under <br />Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture. <br />Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana <br />(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br /> <br />· California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance Series # 7, <br />"How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4,2001.) <br />1: It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns oflocal or regional <br />history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. <br />3: 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 /> <br />· California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8,2003.) <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br /> <br />2~~61 <br />
