EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HANSON HOUSE 2468 North Riverside Drive Santa Ana, CA 92706 NAME Hanson House REF. NO. ADDRESS 2468 North Riverside Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1931 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NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION 3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 2D2 Location: ^ Not for Publication ®Unrestricted ^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the facade and are often multi-paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. 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 Hanson House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Hanson House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood and, as an intact and characteristic example of the English Revival style, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
