A Tudor Revival house in Easton, PA.
The Tudor Revival style looked toward the England of Queen Elizabeth I for inspiration in houses that tended toward elements of asymmetry in form. These ranged from “storybook” cottages to grand mansions. They were typically built with stone, brick, or stucco and often incorporated half-timbering and diamond paned or leaded casement windows. This was among the most romantic of the early 20th century revival styles.
Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
“A Field Guide to American Houses” by Virginia Savage is the classic book on the subject of historic architectural styles and is available through the shop on this page.
