It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and <br />popularized by American architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public buildings and commercial buildings, the <br />vocabulary of the style also influenced the appearance of ornate homes. Characteristic features associated with the residential usage <br />of the style generally include masonry or stucco exteriors; hipped tile roofs; pilasters, columns, quoins, and other classical details; and <br />a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Lower stories are generally emphasized through their proportions and fenestration. <br />Arches are incorporated into the majority of the designs, often referring to Palladian precedents. <br />SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: <br />The Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification o €the <br />distinguishing characteristics of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style.
