SANTA CRUZ' S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
In the 1880's, a move away from the classical forms became apparent in the form of the Stick and Eastlake styles. Stick style buildings have tall proportions with high, steep roofs, and complex and irregular silhouettes. Diagonal "stickwork" is characteristic of this style. A good example of this style in Santa Cruz is the two-story house at 419 Locust Street (H.M. Hanmore House).
