The Tudor Style

Ph_tudorThis architecture style was popular in the 1920s and 1930s and continues to be a mainstay in suburbs across the United States. The defining characteristics are half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more steeply pitched cross gables.

Tudor Style is everywhere from Bexley to Upper Arlington to Worthington to Westerville.  Patterned brick or stone walls are common, as are rounded doorways, multi-paned casement windows, and large stone chimneys. A subtype of the Tudor Revival style is the Cotswold Cottage. With a sloping roof and a massive chimney at the front, a Cotswold Cottage may remind you of a picturesque storybook home.

I hope you are enjoying this home style primer while I’m on vacation. Credit: Information for this post was derived from REALTOR® Magazine Online’s Architecture Guide.
