I’ve never lived in a Tudor Revival house, but the style is one that never fails (in most cases) to bring a smile to my face. This brick veneer example, with its three cross gables marching across the facade, is both new (at the time of construction, that is) and old (it calls to mind the vernacular Gothic Revival houses built all over Kentucky from after the Civil War into the 20th century). A small vaulted hood shelters the arched entry door, which is contained within the largest of those cross gables. This entry vestibule, with the door flanked by small mullioned windows, projects from the plane of the facade in a bold, assertive manner.
A 1930s Tudor Revival style house in the Old Fort Mitchell Historic District.
This house is located with the Old Fort Mitchell Historic District, a streetcar suburb in Northern Kentucky. After the streetcar lines were taken up, the neighborhood’s proximity to the Dixie Highway, and its mix of appealing early 20th century domestic architecture, ensured its continued popularity.
Yes that triple gable used in several styles — almost a basic Revival building type
My home is a fine example of the Tudor Revival movement. I have the complete set of architectural drawings for the house, dating from 1928. There were 10 sheets of drawings, and the another 5 with clarifications during construction. Gorgeous drawings!
