Welcome to my Tudor house portrait gallery.
There is so much to love about classic Tudor style architecture: the steeply pitched roofs and decorative timbering, the stucco exteriors, and the gabled windows — often with leaded glass. American Tudor Revivals have been known to eschew the traditional stucco for brick and stone, but still honor elements of European Tudor homes. Many American Tudors have tall, ornate chimneys and heavy wooden front doors clad with heavy iron hardware like their British counterparts. Tudors certainly evoke an Old World charm on the exterior and the interiors give architects and designers a lot of leeway for the layout of the home — from traditional, to a more modern open floor plan. While popularity of this architectural style boomed in the 1920s and 30s, they can still be found throughout the 50 states — both historic Tudor homes and brand new builds.
