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 />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Chick 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 "is a good example of <br />period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• California Register Criteria for Evaluation.
