EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ZLAKET HOUSE 2409 North Park Boulevard Santa Ana, CA 92706 NAME Zlaket House REF. NO. ADDRESS 2409 North Park Boulevard CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1927 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Landmark HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS CODE 2D1 Location: ^ Not for Publication ®Umestricted ^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals/ Other: English Revival A simplification of the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 uneven rakes, 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 rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fapade and are often multi-paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. A "storybook" variant of the English Revival, characterized by a deliberately eclectic and picturesque quality often focused on the roof treatment, found a particularly receptive audience in southern California.
