Spanish Colonial Revival

Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments

Early 20th-century style using elements of Spanish Colonial architecture (Foster, 2004). Introduced at the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, the style is modeled after the missions and houses built by Spanish colonists in Florida and the Southeast. Features include low-pitched barrel-tile roof, decorative parapet with iron grillwork, multi light casement window, French doors, and ball finials above a set-back or recessed entranceway. The entranceway may feature a door with many glass panes, a transom, and a decorative cornice above. Smooth stucco walls are often painted white. (Vogt, 1992) Photo from Orlando, Florida, 2018.
