PERIOD REVIVAL (OTHER THAN SPANISH) ARCHITECTURE (1900-1941)

"Domestic buildings during the first forty years of this century employed a number of borrowed historical garbs. The most frequently used styles were Colonial (American Georgian and Federal), English Georgian, English Elizabethan (Tudor) half timber, French Norman farmhouse, and the Regency.

Though the same garb might be employed for a house in 1910 and again in the late 1930s, each decade imprinted itself strongly on the resulting building. A Period building of 1910-1920 is readily distinguishable from a product of the 1920s and again from the 1930s. The 1900-1920 house still conveys either a Queen Anne or Craftsman atmosphere; those of the 1920s are sharp, angular, thin and brittle (like the automobiles of the period), while those of the 1930s are more openly nostalgic and accurate in their details. Though each period produced buildings clothed in different historic garb, there was preference in the teens and the 1920s for the Medieval, while in the 1930s renewed nationalism encouraged the Colonial."
