In the <br />Monterey Revival, stucco exteriors, instead of adobe, are often combined with wood or brick. Windows are often multi - <br />light, either double -hung sash or casements in type. Roofs are usually side - gables, with a front - gabled extension of one <br />or two stories at one end. The vast majority of Monterey Revival buildings are two stories in height, and nearly all feature <br />a cantilevered balcony, shaded by the overhang of the principal roof and enclosed with a wood or wrought iron railing, <br />across most or all of the upper story fagade. Primarily a residential style, the Monterey Revival emerged in the late 1920s <br />and reached the height of its popularity in 1930. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Mellenthin House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, as a <br />structure with the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period, the Monterey Revival (Municipal Code, <br />Section 30 -2(a).
