ADDRESS 2340 North Riverside Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92702 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1926 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT North Broadway Park Historic District NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park CALIF. REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 2D Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: As a contributor to the North Broadway Park Historic District, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the Dr. Harry G. Huffman House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Dr. Harry G. Huffman House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style.
