EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />L. A. WEST HOUSE <br />2117 North Victoria Drive <br />Santa Ana, CA 92706 <br />NAME L. A. West House REF. NO. <br />ADDRESS 2117 North Victoria Drive <br />CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY <br />YEAR BUILT 1929 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Landmark <br />HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Pazk <br />NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION B,C NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS CODE 3S <br />Location: ^ No[ for Publication ®Unrestricted <br />^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival <br />The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival <br />vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include <br />curved parapets (or espadarTa); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by <br />lazge, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between <br />1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama- <br />California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily <br />recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red file roof <br />coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry; <br />balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone. <br />The L. A. West House appears eligible for listing in [he National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical <br />Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of <br />the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and under Criterion 4b, for its association with prominent Santa Ana citizen, attorney Leonard A. <br />West. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Pazk neighborhood through its age, style, scale, and historic <br />associations. In addition, the L. A. West House has been categorized as "Landmark" because the building "appeazs to be eligible" to <br />be placed on the National Register and the Califomia Register and "has a unique architectural significance" as an intact and <br />representative example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive <br />(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />National Reeister Criteria for Evaluation: (From Appendix 7 of Instmctions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of <br />Historic Preservation) <br />B: that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. <br />C: that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the <br />work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity <br />whose components may lack individual distinction. <br />• National Register Status Code: (From Appendix 2 of Instmctions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of Historic <br />Preservation) <br />3S: Appears eligible for separate listing. <br />2~~-B~' <br />
