The Spanish Colonial <br />Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received <br />widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of <br />Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are <br />low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets, <br />and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, balconies and patios, window grilles, and <br />wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. <br /> <br /> <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br /> <br />The Lacy-Murray House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Additionally, the house has <br />been categorized as “Key” because it “has a distinctive architectural style and quality” and for its association with the Lacy <br />and Murray families.(Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). <br /> <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br /> <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 /> <br />• California Register Status Code: (From California Office of Historic Preservation, December 8, 2003.) <br />5S1: Contributor to a district determined eligible for the National Register by consensus through Section <br />106 process.
