Tudor Revival Style Home
Larger
and more stately than a Cotswold
Cottage, the Tudor Revival Style Home is a beautiful rendition of
characteristics taken from the original medieval Tudor style
architecture built in the 16th Century.
Original
Tudor construction consisted of a post and beam frame-work, in-filled
with plaster, with the surfaces of the timbers left exposed. Today,
the exposed post and beam are replaced with decorative
facial timbers applied over a solid stucco surface.
Common
Tudor Revival features may include:
1-1/2
to 2-1/2 Stories
The
½ and Second Stories maintain the decorative timbering over
stucco, where the ground floor level is bricked; aka:
half-timbering.
Beautiful
Combinations of Cross Gabled and/or Hipped Roofs.
Tall-narrow
multi-paned windows.
Large
ornate chimneys
Tall,
narrow windows.
