Pseudish
This style which attained great popularity both in this country and in America (where it is generally known as Spanish-colonial), is actually our old friend Pont Street Dutch with a few Stockholm trimmings and a more daring use of colour. In the most typical examples the walls are whitewashed, the roof is covered with Roman tiles in a peculiarly vehement shade of green, and the windows have been enriched with a great deal of fancy leading of a tortuous ingenuity. It was the upper-class style par excellence of the pre-slump years, but latterly has sunk a little in the social scale and occasional examples are now to be found alongside some of our more exclusive by-passes… (Lancaster, 1938)
