It drew from the wood building traditions of Japan and <br />Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed honesty of <br />form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A new <br />appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of capacious <br />porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low pitched gable and hipped <br />roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive use of <br />stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly <br />proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Coselman-Motley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion I, as a beautifully <br />detailed and highly intact bungalow with the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of Craftsman styling (Municipal <br />Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance Series # 7, <br />"How to Nominate Resources to the California Register of Historical Resources," September 4, 2001.) <br />3: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents <br />the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003.) <br />SSI: Individual property that is listed or decimated locally. <br />
