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 />The W.P. Heninger House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 3 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of one of the popular revival styles of the 1920s and 1930s, the <br />Spanish Colonial Revival. The house also contributes to the historic character of the Washington Square neighborhood <br />through its age, style, and scale. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to <br />the overall character and history' of Washington Square, and, as an intact and representative example of the Spanish <br />Colonial Revival, "is a good example of period 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 8, 2003.) <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
