Not for Publication ®Unrestricted <br /> ? Prehistoric ®Historic ? Both <br /> ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival <br /> The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched <br /> gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of <br /> building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more <br /> ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite <br /> common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, <br /> although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19~' century, the Tudor Revival was <br /> associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br /> SUMMARYlCONCLUSION: <br /> <br /> The Conklin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br /> <br /> exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br /> <br /> categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an intact <br /> <br /> example of the combination of the Tudor Revival style in the Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period <br /> <br /> architecture" {Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br /> • California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance <br /> Series # 7, "How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4, 2001.} <br /> 3: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or <br /> represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br /> • California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December i3, 2003.) <br /> 551: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br /> EXHIBIT 2 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br />
