EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />BEMIS HOUSE <br />2112 North Ross St. <br />Santa Ana, CA 92706 <br />NAME <br />Bemis House <br />REF. NO. <br />ADDRESS <br />2112 North Ross Street <br />CITY <br />Santa Ana <br />ZIP <br />92706 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />YEAR BUILT <br />1928 <br />LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive <br />HISTORIC DISTRICT <br />N/A <br />NEIGHBORHOOD <br />Floral Park <br />CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION <br />3 <br />CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE <br />5S1 <br />Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted <br />❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Colonial Revival <br />The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 <br />Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing <br />upon Georgian, Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and <br />designs which are usually symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side - <br />gabled, hipped, or gambreled, sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often <br />included, mostly as central focal points, and frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and <br />entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not <br />uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian <br />windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have wood, brick, or stucco exteriors <br />(McAlester, 320 -326). <br />SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: <br />The Bemis 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 Colonial 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 intact <br />example of the combination of the Colonial Revival style in the Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period <br />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 />551: Individual property that is listed or designated locally. <br />" .
