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 19`~ century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular <br />during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Martz House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification ofthe <br />distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a <br />distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Tudor Revival style (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 />551: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page1gf4~_w <br />
