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 of leaded 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 />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of <br />Historic Places, the Webster House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Webster House also <br />qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 3 for its exemplification of the distinguishing <br />characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive <br />architectural style and quality" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <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 />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 />• California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003.) <br />2D2: Contributor to a district determined eligible for the National Register by consensus through Section 106 <br />process.
