Signature features of the style include steeply pitched <br />gables; decorative half - timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building <br />features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious <br />examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone•, however, stucco over wood frame is quite common <br />In the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although <br />small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19kh century, the Tudor Revival was associated <br />with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Russell House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for its <br />exemplification of the characteristics of the Tudor Revival style.
