The Tudor Revival was part of a larger movement which started in Europe in the late 1800s in an attempt to re-create various period styles. This style was very popular in the 1920's and 1930's.  Sometimes they were referred to as Elizabethan or 'half timbered' houses.

The style featured one and half storied plans, half timbering and brick work often laid up in patterns.  Front doors were wood and often detailed.  Brick chimneys were massive and prominent. Tudor Revival homes play a predominant role in many wealthy neighbourhoods in cities throughout the world.

Other Styles featured in the Urban Series:

Craftsman Style
The Craftsman style evolved from the Arts and Crafts movement which started in the 1860's in Europe as a reaction to the over-decoration of the Victorian style . The Arts and Crafts movement celebrated the art and talents of skilled craftsman, instead of the mass production of machine made components. MORE>>>

Prairie Style
The Prairie Style was conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright, at the close of the 19th century, as a reaction to the classical revival styles of the day. The long horizontal lines of the roof overhangs, balustrades and windows, re-inforced the aesthetic of the long lines of the horizon of the prairies, where the style was based. Roofs had a low pitch, with deep overhangs. Even the wall cladding materials emphasized the horizontal, with either brick, stone wood siding or carefully trimmed stucco.
