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 nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most <br />popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Anton Segerstrom House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of <br />Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the Tudor Revival style. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood <br />through its age, style, scale, and historic association with members of a prominent Orange County family. In addition, the Anton <br />Segerstrom House has been categorized as "Landmark" because the building "appears to be eligible" to be placed on the National <br />Register and the Califomia Register and "has a unique architectural significance" as an intact and representative example of the Tudor <br />Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• National Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From Appendix 7 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of <br />Historic Preservation) <br />C: that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the <br />work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity <br />whose components may lack individual distinction. <br />National Register Status Code: (From Appendix 2 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of Historic <br />Preservation) <br />35: Appears eligible for separate listing. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />P~~~~-6 <br />
