SANTA CRUZ' S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
By the early 1890's, the Queen Anne style had appeared in Santa Cruz. This style is characterized by irregularity of plan and the massing of color and texture. Several different wall surfaces may occur in one building; brick on the ground story, and shingles or horizontal boards above is a common occurrence. Trademarks of this style include elaborate chimneys, corner turrets, and the use of bay windows. An example of the Queen Anne style is the W.D. Haslam House at 304 Walnut Avenue.
