The Mission Revival <br />vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include <br />curved parapets (or espadana); red tiled roofs and coping; low- pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by <br />large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between <br />1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama - <br />California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily <br />recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low- pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof <br />coverings; flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches, asymmetry, <br />balconies and patios, window grilles, and wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone decorative elements. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />cm\historic \templates \Fourth 1541 E (Safley) <br />9/27/01 EXHIBIT 2 <br />25F -6 <br />
