Not for Publication ® Unrestricted <br />? Prehistoric ® Historic ? Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Spanish Colonial Revival <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, fiat 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 />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Walker House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the <br />house has been categorized as "Key" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa <br />Ana, and, as an example of the Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style in the Floral Park neighborhood and <br />has a "distinctive architectural style and quality" (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: Contributor to a district determined eligible for the National Register by consensus through Section <br />106 process.
