Primary amongst them was Frank Lloyd Wright, under whom Prairie School designs reached their apex. Echoing the uninterrupted horizontal lines of the American prairie, Prairie style homes-it was largely a domestic movement-are usually characterized by broadly pitched hipped roofs with deep overhangs; two stories in height, often with one story wings; front porches with massive porch roof supports; and detailing which emphasizes the horizontal. A common, vernacular interpretation of the type, sometimes referred to as the Prairie Box or the American Foursquare, is box-like in massing and plan, with hipped or gabled dormers, porches across all or a portion of the fayade, and detailing culled from the vocabularies of a variety of styles, including Mission Revival, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Gustlin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the American Foursquare variant of the Prairie Style. It also qualifies for the Register under Criterion 7, as a building that was connected with business or use that was once common, but is now rare, specifically, agriculture. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
