REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: ❑ Not for Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Late Colonial Revival The most universal of all American domestic building styles, the Colonial Revival has been popular since the 1876 Centennial celebration in Philadelphia stimulated a patriotic interest in the American architectural past. Beginning in the second half of the 1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War II, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism of the previous half -century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds; pseudo-quoined corners; multi -paned casement or double -hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or octagonal accent windows; and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. A hipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period—wood, brick, stone, and stucco—although stucco came to be used more frequently than before (McAlester, 320-339). SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Frandson - Mouwdy qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" in its presentation of Late Colonial Revival style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).
