EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HOILES HOUSE 1917 North Victoria Drive Santa AIIa, CA 92706 NAME Hoiles House REF. NO. ADDRESS 1917 North Victoria Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1935 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS CODE SS 1 Location: ^ Not for Publication ®Unrestricted ^ Prehistoric ®Historic ^ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration.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 nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Hoiles House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its retention of several of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style, including the use of half timbering, the complex gabled and hipped roof configuration and rustic wood shingling, and the asymmetrical design. 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 community. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" for its contribution to character of Floral Park and North Victoria Drive and as a "good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
