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; 331.332). <br />SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: <br />The Moore House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />characteristics of the Colonial Revival style.
