Whether drawing upon Georgian, <br />Federal, or Dutch Colonial prototypes, Colonial Revival buildings feature rectangular building plans and designs which are usually <br />symmetrical, or at least highly regular and balanced, in composition. Roofs are commonly side -gabled, hipped, or gambreled, <br />sometimes accented with dormers. Porches, one or two stories in height, are often included, mostly as central focal points, and <br />frequently incorporate classical elements)) such as columns, pilasters, and entablatures. Doorways are adorned with classical surrounds <br />pediments; sidelights, transoms, and fanlights are not uncommon. Windows are typically double -hung sash, with multiple lights <br />ie upper sash. French doors and Palladian windows are also utilized. Depending on location, Colonial Revival buildings have <br />wood, brick, or stucco exteriors (McAlester, 320-326). A "Classic Box" variant of the Colonial Revival style was popular circa 1894 <br />to 1910 and was generally characterized by two-story box -like massing, a hipped roof (often with centered dormers), boxed eaves, a <br />full or partial front porch with columnar roof supports, and Colonial Revival detailing. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The Taylor -Oglesby House qualifies for isting in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its <br />representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Classic Box variant of the Colonial Revival style.
