The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid -Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid -Century Modern style. This category is reserved for structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the "Contributive" category, in addition to contributing to the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of "Key" status due to the building's Mid -Century Modern style and quality craftsmanship which features horizontal massing; low -pitch gable roof with wide overhanging eaves; grouped, aluminum -frame casement windows; stucco siding; and an emphasis on indoor -outdoor living through the property's expansive glazing and an interior courtyard composed of a brise soleil privacy fence; among other original features.
