It drew from the wood building <br />traditions of Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. <br />Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of <br />the straightforward expression of structure. A new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out <br />to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, <br />Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep <br />overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of stone or brick as a secondary <br />material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly proportioned <br />wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Dixon-Heemstra House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for <br />embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a late Craftsman style residential building. The recommended <br />categorization is "Key' because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Craftsman style (Santa <br />Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(2)). <br />—: �afffDrnia Register Criteria for Evalu ron (From= etifnrnra Office of Ht Vatt10n ehmealAssis#Mice-= <br />r s 1=ypto Nominate Re�our2s�o t e �a�—�Ifornia Re9�steY of FlistonaaLResouM;e Sep�err� Qt r 4 2001�_ <br />�_ _�---ICe-mbodtesisfinetive_e arac�ei�--istics of a type�penod Iggto�nr m t:4d of cor�sTraetion, or <br />_ _ represents-ttie�rg�'k;�a master�p9ssesses hrgt�rhstic-val[re <br />—• I�mbodtes the distinctive charantensfes oype perLo3tegion orrneSho-� o cf onstCrTclion orrepresErrs f�l_e= <br />1 ludkEsesfig sc va0Nb_m u�al <br />elr ble fa�l2cal lrsfin olesi haflcos� IsUryQ gvalu iom <br />
