In the <br />Monterey Revival, stucco exteriors, instead of adobe, are often combined with wood or brick. Windows are often multi - <br />light, either double -hung sash or casements in type. Roofs are usually side - gables, with a front - gabled extension of one <br />or two stories at one end. The vast majority of Monterey Revival buildings are two stories in height, and nearly all <br />feature a cantilevered balcony, shaded by the overhang of the principal roof and enclosed with a wood or wrought iron <br />railing, across most or all of the upper story fagade. Primarily a residential style, the Monterey Revival emerged in the <br />late 1920s and reached the height of its popularity in 1930. <br />SUMMARY/ CONCLUSION: <br />As a contributor to the North Broadway Park district, which has been determined eligible for listing in the National <br />Register of Historic Places, the Bryte House has been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Bryte <br />House also qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of <br />the distinguishing characteristics of the transitional period in residential architectural design occurring in the mid to late <br />1930s. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character <br />and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an example of the transitional period in the mid to late 1930s in the Floral Park <br />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.
