In the Monterey Revival, stucco exteriors, instead of adobe, are often combined with wood or brick. Windows are often multi-light, either double- hung sash or casements in type. Roofs are usually side-gables, with afront-gabled extension of one or two stories at one end. The vast majority of Monterey Revival buildings are two stories in height, and nearly all feature a cantilevered balcony, shaded by the overhang of the principal roof and enclosed with a wood or wrought iron railing, across most or all of the upper story facade. Primarily a residential style, the Monterey Revival emerged in the late 1920s and reached the height of its popularity in 1930. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for listing iri the National Register of Historic Places, the R. G. Hewitt House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The R. G. Hewitt House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the transitional period in residential architectural design occurring in the mid to late 1930s.
