Tudor Vernacular Revival
Tudor, the name given to the architectural style of England in the late Middle Ages, was a popular choice for American houses in the later 19th century. This Tudor Revival uses a variety of materials. Rough-hewn stone is laid in uneven courses on the ground floor. On the second floor, white stucco walls contrasting with the dark wooden porch supports and window surrounds suggest the half-timbered houses of 15th-century England. Another feature of this style is the steeply pointed front gable with attached “bargeboard,” meant in medieval houses to disguise projecting rafters.
