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 azchitecture stressed honesty of <br />fom~, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforwazd expression of structure. Anew <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 azchitecture 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 appazent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and broadly <br />proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Cmftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early 1920s. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Harding House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its reflection of the <br />distinguishing chazacteristics of the eazly Craftsman style. Addifionally, the house has been categorized as "Landmark" for its <br />"unique azchitectural significance" as a highly intact and picturesquely detailed example of the eazly Craftsman style (Municipal <br />Code, Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />.
