Not for Publication ® Unrestricted <br /> <br /> ? Prehistoric ® Historic ? Both <br /> ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival <br /> <br /> The Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Spanish Colonial <br /> Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received <br /> widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of <br /> Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are <br /> low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, <br /> and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and <br /> wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. <br /> SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br /> The Neff House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 3 for its exemplification <br /> of the distinguishing characteristics of one of the popular revival styles of the 1920s and 1930s, the Spanish Colonial <br /> Revival. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, style, and <br /> scale. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and <br /> history" of Floral Park, and, as an intact and representative example of the Spanish Colonial Revival, "is a good example <br /> of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br /> <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 8, 2003.) <br /> 6S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> EXHIBIT 2 <br /> Page I of 4 <br /> 25E-7 <br />
