English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and <br />gable roofs of steep but not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side <br />of a gable extending a greater distance than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches <br />may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are <br />usually clustered in groups on the fagade and are often multi -paned casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential <br />style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in composition. <br />SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: <br />The W.W. Woods 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 English Revival style. Additionally, the house has been <br />categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood <br />and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the English Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code Section 30-2.2). <br />EXPLANATION OF CODES: <br />* Califomia Register Criteria for Evaluation: (From Califomia 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 />It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work <br />of a master, or possesses high artistic values. <br />5S3: Appears to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation <br />C-*:1:III`i- <br />5- 17 <br />
