ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. 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. Born in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated with some Craftsman era building but was most popular
during the 1920s and 1930s.
