The <br />movement received widespread attention after the Panama - California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish <br />interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial <br />Revival are low- pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, Flat roofs surrounded by tiled <br />parapets, and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window <br />grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. <br />SUMMARY /CONCLUSION: <br />As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for designation to the Santa Ana <br />Register of Historical Properties, the Liggett House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The <br />Liggett House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the transitional period in residential architectural design occurring <br />in the mid to late 1930s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the <br />overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the transitional period in the mid to late 1930s in the <br />Floral Park neighborhood "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section 30 -2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />• California Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, Technical Assistance <br />Series # 7, "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 <br />represents 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 />2D2: Contributor to a district determined eligible for the National Register by consensus through Section <br />106 process.
