ADDRESS 2448 North Riverside Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1930 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 2D2 Location: ^ Not for Publication ®Unrestricted ^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19`" century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the Cain House is eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources.
