English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and <br />gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side <br />of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches <br />may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are <br />usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential <br />style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. <br />The Jacobs 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 English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an <br />example of the English Revival style "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 4 7, "How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4, 2001.) <br />5: Ineligible for the National Register, but still of local significance. <br />• It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the <br />work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />5S3: Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />25A -6 <br />
