Whether drawing upon Georgian, <br />Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually <br />symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side-gabled, hipped, or gambreled, <br />sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and <br />frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds <br />and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double-hung sash, with multiple lights <br />in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have <br />wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />The Schenck House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of <br />the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" <br />because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the Colonial Revival style in the <br />Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br /> <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 /> <br />· California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003.) <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br />
