Signature features of the style include steeply pitched gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s. SUMMARYICONCLUSION: The H.A. Smith House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Tudor Revival home. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall characterand history' ofthe Floral Park neighborhood and "is a good example of period architecture," representing the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Also address Integrity) The H.A. Smith House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the front facing gable variant of the Tudor Revival architectural style. It was built in 1931 for $3,500 by prominent developer and builder Roy Roscoe Russell (1681-1965). Along with developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), Roy Russell was credited as a subdividerand builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The H.A. Smith House was first sold to Mr. and Mrs. H.A. Smith in 1932 and they lived on the property until mid-1950s. The property was sold to C.H. Fuller in 1955,who briefly resided on the property before selling it to J. Stadola in 1957. Little information Is available regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-1990s. However, during the 1990s Steven and Kathleen Cooper bought the property and resided there until 2021, when the property was sold to the current homeowners. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Smith House Is located In Floral Part, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees and widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920. Developerand builderAlllson Honer (1897-1981), credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls, New York In 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land. And that month, he began building custom homes In Santa Ana" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built In the 1920s, the Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and 1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival. The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco slyied Old Santa Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue. In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1966), continued developing the groves of Floral Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post Wodd War If years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, homes in the neighborhood were mostly developed in the revival style. In the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Pads Today (2021) Floral Park maintains Its Identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The H.A. Smith House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an Intact example of a Tudor Revival home. The steeply pitched, complex roof, asymmetrical massing, prominent chimney, and mulfi- paned windows are characteristics of this style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history"ofthe Floral Park neighborhood and is a good example of period architecture," representing the Tudor Revival style In Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the house Include its steeply pitched complex gable roof with no overhangs,, multi -paned casement windows used on all elevations with fabric awnings; recessed entry," stucco exterior walls with brick trim, and prominent chimney. *B12.
