Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; azched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The D. R. Ball House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4, for its association with a locally famous person and family, and under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing chazacteristics of the Tudor Revival style The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Pazk neighborhood through its age, style, scale, and historic association with important members of the local business and social community.
