Styles and Influences

Tudor Revival

The Tudor Revival style is a reinterpretation of the medieval English Tudor architecture from the 16th century. It often includes elements such as:

  • One or more steeply pitched roofs, usually in gable form
  • Tall, narrow windows and often with small window panes
  • A distinctive mix of brickwork and timber framing
  • Typical examples include domestic houses across the United Kingdom and United States from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Georgian Revival

Georgian Revival architecture is a modern regenesis of the Georgian style prominent in the 18th century. Its characteristics include:

  • Georgian proportions and symmetry
  • Use of classical details like columns and decorative entries
  • Brick construction with stone trim features
  • Notable instances are found in North American residential architecture from the early 20th century.

Prairie Style

Prairie Style architecture was developed by a group of Midwest architects, the most famous being Frank Lloyd Wright, around the turn of the 20th century. Features include:

  • Emphasis on horizontal lines to blend with the flat prairie landscape
  • Broad, flat roofs with wide overhanging eaves
  • Windows grouped in horizontal bands
  • This style is best exemplified by Wright's Robie House in Chicago.

Colonial Revival

Colonial Revival architecture emerged in the late 19th century in the United States as a celebration of the country's colonial past. It includes:

  • Symmetrical facades with an accented central entrance
  • Classic detailing drawing from Georgian and Federal styles
  • A consistent use of red brick and white trim
  • Colonial Revival houses populate many American neighborhoods, particularly prevalent in developments from the early to mid 20th century.
