Tudor Style House

Era: Tudor revival 1890s–1940s

The Tudor style house is instantly recognisable: steep cross-gabled roofs, dark timber patterns on white stucco, massive brick or stone chimneys and narrow leaded windows. American Tudor homes are actually Tudor revival, inspired by late-medieval English houses and popular from the 1890s to the 1940s.

Modern Tudors keep the dramatic roofline and half-timbering but simplify the details — black steel windows, painted brick and cleaner trim — which is why the style keeps appearing in new-build neighborhoods.
