REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION <br />C/3 <br />CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE <br />5S3 <br />Location: ❑ Not for Publication M Unrestricted <br />❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both <br />ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival <br />A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English <br />Revival drew upon the English country house for its inspiration. 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 />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The H.L. Johnson 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 the Park Santiago <br />neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the English Revival style in Santa Ana <br />(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />California Register Criteria for Evaluation.
