Tudor Revival
Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a house or a building that looks like it's from a long time ago, with pointy roofs and lots of details like big chimneys and decorative carvings? That's called Tudor revival style!
It's a type of architecture that became popular in the early 20th century, inspired by the way buildings were designed during the Tudor period in England (which was a long time ago, when kings and queens ruled the land).
Tudor revival buildings can have lots of different features, but they usually have these things in common:
- Lots of decorative details like carvings, patterns, and contrasting colors (like white walls and dark timber beams).
- Pointy, sloping roofs that come to a peak in the middle of the building.
- Tall chimneys that jut out from the roof.
- Windows that are often grouped together in sets of three or more, with small panes of glass and sometimes diamond-shaped patterns in the frames.
Sometimes people build new buildings in Tudor revival style, but other times they might renovate an old one to look that way. So if you ever see a building that looks like it's from a fairy tale or a castle, it might be a Tudor revival building!
