EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<br />P. BROWN HOUSE
<br />2108 N. Greenleaf Street
<br />Santa Ana, CA 92706
<br />Location: ❑ Not for Publication 0 Unrestricted
<br />❑ Prehistoric 0 Historic ❑ Both
<br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival Style
<br />The Tudor Revival Style looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply
<br />pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements
<br />of building features; tall bride chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more
<br />ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival Style were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame
<br />Is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival Style was favored primarily for
<br />residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19th century, the
<br />Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
<br />One important feature of the R Brown House is the fact that even though the residence is primarily a Tudor Revival, it
<br />also carries along architectural features of the French Normandy Style. Contrary to the typical Tudor homes which have a
<br />steeply pitched gable, this residence has a steeply pitched hip roof that continues throughout to the second floor roof.
<br />The window panes are squared in design, different from the diamond shape window panes seen in a traditional Tudor
<br />Revival Home. The overall character of the home provides a Tudor feel with combined features in the form of French
<br />Normandy Flair.
<br />SUMMARYICONCLUSION:
<br />The P. Brown House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties for its exemplification of the
<br />characteristics of the Tudor Revival Style with French Normandy Influence. Additionally, the house has been
<br />categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an
<br />example of the Tudor Revival Style "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
