ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: English Revival
A simplification of the Tudor Revival, which reached its height of popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the English Revival drew
upon the English count ry house for its inspiration. English Revival homes usually feature stucco walls and gable roofs of steep but
not exaggerated pitch. A characteristic roof treatment incorporates uneven rakes, with one side of a gable extending a greater distance
than the other, sometimes changing the angle of slope in the process. Arches may be used for windows and doors, and, unlike their
Tudor cousins, are rounded rather than pointed. Windows are usually clustered in groups on the façade and are often multi-paned
casement in type. Almost exclusively a residential style, English Revival buildings are nearly always asymmetrical in compositio n.
