Identifying features include the front -facing gable roof; ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and <br />in the gable end; avoidance of flat wall surfaces through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal; and classical <br />columns or pilasters. Multi -storied residential and commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes <br />topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late Medieval models, with the addition of other regional <br />interpretations. Some of the most well-developed examples can be found in California and in the southern states <br />(McAlester, 263-268). <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Eastin 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 Queen Anne style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Key' because it "contributes to the overall character and history' of Santa Ana and "is a unique example <br />of period architecture," representing the Queen Anne style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />California Register Criteria for Evaluation.
