Period Revival Style

Period Revival style structures were popular during the first forty years of the twentieth century and were patterned after buildings of various earlier periods of architecture both in America and abroad.

Models included:

• American Colonial
• English Georgian
• English Elizabethan (Tudor)
• French Norman
• Spanish Colonial
• Pueblo buildings

General characteristics of the style include an irregular outline and an overall picturesque quality. Basic massing and proportion, as well as materials and details were all freely borrowed from historical examples. Designers emphasized overall effect rather than stylistic accuracy.
