Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; <br />decorative half - timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick <br />chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival <br />were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern <br />California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style <br />also occur. Born in the late nineteenth century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era construction but was most <br />popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Hammond -Haan House appears eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of <br />Historical Resources. It also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its <br />exemplification of the Tudor Revival style, and under Criterion 4b, for its association with prominent Santa Ana citizens Dana K. <br />Hammond and Otto R. Haan. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Floral Park neighborhood through its age, <br />style, scale, and historic associations. In addition, the Hammond -Haan House has been categorized as "Landmark" because the <br />building "appears to be eligible" to be placed on the National Register and the California Register and "has a unique architectural <br />significance" as an intact and representative example of the Tudor Revival style that contributes to the historic streetscape of North <br />Victoria Drive (Municipal Code, Section 30 -2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />National Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From Appendix 7 of Instructions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of <br />Historic Preservation) <br />B: that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. <br />C: that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the <br />work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity <br />whose components may lack individual distinction. <br />+ National Register Status Code: (From Appendix 2 of Instnictions for Recording Historical Resources, Office of Historic <br />Preservation) <br />3S: Appears eligible for separate listing. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
