TUDOR REVIVAL STYLE, ca. 1910 - 1940 The Tudor Revival style was an other popular national style of the early 20th century. These dwellings are
based upon medieval house forms of England and were built in America from 1915 to 1940. These house
forms have high pitched gable roofs, multiple gables on the main facade, and are generally of brick and stucco
construction. Doors are often set within rounded or Tudor arches while windows often have multiple lights in
the upper and lower sashes. In gable fields stucco and wood are often combined to create the appearance of a
design known as "half-timbering." Examples of the Tudor Revival style are scattered throughout both the
Elgin and Spring/Douglas Historic Districts such as the dwellings at 1031 N. Spring Street and 50 N. Liberty
Street.
