Signature features of the style include steeply pitched <br />gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building <br />features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious <br />examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common <br />in the temperate climate of Southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, <br />although small scale commercial buildings in the style were also constructed. Originating 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 />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The West & West House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 4 for its <br />association with famous people in history of Santa Ana. Additionally, the building has been categorized as "Key" because <br />of its association with two significant persons in the history of Santa Ana and of Orange County, Z.B. West Jr. and <br />Franklin G. West. Character defining features of the West & West House that should be preserved, include, but not limited <br />to: exterior materials and finishes (half-timbering); roof configuration, materials, and treatment; massing and composition; <br />doors and windows (original multi -pane wood casement windows, where extant); chimney; and, arched entry. <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance <br />Series # 7, "How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4, 2001.) <br />2: It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history. <br />• It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work <br />of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />5S3: Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation. <br />25C-50 <br />
