STYLE: Colonial Revival <br />The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since tire 1876 Centennial <br />celebration ht Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Whether drawing upon Georgian, <br />Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually <br />symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side- gabled, hipped, or gambreled, <br />sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and <br />frequently incorporate classical elements such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds <br />and pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights <br />in the upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have <br />wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320 -326). <br />The Melton House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of <br />the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial Revival style.
