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 Gibbs-Wasley House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana.

Significance (continued): The Gibbs•Wasley House is located in Floral Park, 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. Developer and bullderAillson 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 ofhis arrival, Mr. Honerpurchased a parcel ofland. 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 styled 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 (1881-1965), 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 World War 11 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 Park. Today (2022) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Gibbs-Wasley House qualities forlisting in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality as an example of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2). Character -defining features of the house include, but are not limited to:asymmetrical massing and composition; a steeply pitched, complex gable roof, a combination of brick and stucco exterior walls, and multiple tall, brick attached chimneys. Notable detailing includes the dramatic bellcast to one rake of the front gable; exposed, rounded and notched rafter tails and bargeboards In the shallow eaves; brick entry surround featuring common bond with every fourth course raised; a barrel vaulted entry vestibule and correspondingly arched, wood -paneled, front door, brick dodo reaching to first floor sill level; gabled dormers; multi -light casement windows clustered in pairs, triples, and larger groups; and brick paved entry, stairs, and pathways. - *612.
