Signature features of the style include steeply pitched <br />gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of <br />building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more <br />ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is <br />quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential <br />buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Born in the late 19th century, the Tudor <br />Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. <br />SUMMARYICONCLUSION: <br />The Shaffer 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 Tudor Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of Santa Ana, and, as an <br />example of the Tudor Revival "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 />S: Ineligible for the National Register, but still of local significance. <br />• It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the <br />work of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />5S1: Individual property that is listed or designated locally <br />EXHIBIT 2 <br />25A-49 <br />
