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 nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Carden House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the Tudor Revival style. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, scale, and historic association with members of the local business and professional communities. In addition, the Carden House has been categorized as "Landmark" because the building "appears to be eligible" to be placed on the National Register and the California Register and "has a unique architectural significance" as an intact and representative example of the late Tudor Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
