<br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
<br />Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts'Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
<br />Crajtsutan magazine and architects such as -Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena.. It drew from the wood building traditions of
<br />Japan and Switzerland as well as the Medievalthemesfavored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed'
<br />honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the.straightforward expression of structure. -A
<br />new.appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of
<br />capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and
<br />hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive
<br />use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and
<br />broadly proportioned wood framedwindows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
<br />1920s.
<br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
<br />The Smiley House was formally determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as an individual
<br />resource. Under the regulations implementing the California Register of Historical Resources, the building is therefore listed in the
<br />.California Register. Included in the'Santa Ana Register of Historical Property, the Smiley House has been categorized as "Landmark"
<br />because it "is on the national register," "is on the state register," "has a historical/cultural significance to the City of Santa Ana," for
<br />its representation of the agricultural era in Santa Ana's history, and "has a unique architectural significance"•as a finely detailed and.
<br />highly intact example of the influential Craftsman style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
