REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION A/1, C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 2D, 5S3 Location: ❑ Notfor Publication ® Unrestricted ❑ Prehistoric ® Historic ❑ Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: French Eclectic Although the French Eclectic style resembles the contemporaneous Tudor Revival and shares some of the same medieval European precedents, it is distinguished from its English counterpart by its roof treatment. A hipped roof of steep pitch is present in most examples, although one subtype may incorporate a gabled roof in association with a conical -roofed tower. Tall chimneys are often seen, as are dormers, which can emerge from the roof or be set flush with the wall, breaking the cornice. Arched openings for doors and windows are common. More formal versions feature symmetry, Renaissance detailing, and quoins at corners and around arches. Examples based on more rural prototypes are generally asymmetrical. Exterior walls may be stucco, brick, or stone, and may be adorned with half-timbering. Windows are usually casements in type. (McAlester, 386-395).
