Not for Publication ® Unrestricted 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 building <br />features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious <br />examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common <br />in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although <br />small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated <br />with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Hall-Knickerbocker House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for <br />its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Key' because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of the Tudor Revival style <br />(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 8, 2003.) <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page t of 4 <br />25D-7
