Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; <br />decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick <br />chimneys; and picturesque windows ofleaded glass or diamond patterned lights, The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival <br />were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern <br />California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style <br />also occur. Born in the late nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most <br />popular during the 1920s and 1930s, <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />The D, R. Ball House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4, for its association with <br />a locally famous person and family, and under Criterion I for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor <br />Revival style The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, scale, and <br />historic association with important members of the local business and social community.
