EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NALL HOUSE 1112 North Olive Street Santa Ana, CA 92703 NAME ADDRESS CITY YEAR BUILT Nail House REF. NO. 1112 North Olive Street Santa Ana ZIP 92701 ORANGE COUNTY 1923 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S1 Location: 0 Not for Publication I:8J Umestricted o Prehistoric I:8J Historic o Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals/Other: English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic sloped roof treatment incorporates rakes of uneven lengths, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are often rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fa~ade and are often multi-paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition: SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Nail House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 3 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of one of the popular revival styles of the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Washington Square neighborhood through its age, style, and scale. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Washington Square, and, as an intact and representative example of the English Revival, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2).
