SynopsisA beautifully illustrated volume on the Tudor-style house, a keystone in American interiors and architecture. Since its birth in sixteenth-century England, the Tudor-style house has been a favorite for homeowners from all walks of life. Hallmarks of the style include steeply pitched gables and roofs covered in slate or imitation thatch, bays of casement windows with diamond-paned leaded glass, clustered chimney stacks, interiors of wood paneling and plasterwork, and, especially, half-timbered and stuccoed facades. In the United States, prime examples can be found coast to coast, from the Tudor City apartment buildings of New York to the stately homes of Tuxedo Park; from the cozy, Prairie-inspired homes of Oak Park, Illinois, to the richly nuanced Arts and Crafts-inflected mansions of Pasadena, California. In an age when all agree that the McMansion, with its ungainly proportions and sameness of design, should be banished from the landscape, the Tudor house remains a delight and an inspiration, being anything but cookie-cutter, with tremendous variation from home to home. The Tudor Home showcases the wide variety of Tudor homes and the many manifestations the form has taken across the nation, from the famous communities of Bronxville, New York, to the California Tudors of Highland Park. With a wealth of color imagery newly photographed for this volume and insightful commentary on the history, development, and evolution of the Tudor style in America, the book is an engaging read that opens a window on this much loved style of home., The Tudor Home presents a new, refreshed take, with new photography, on this beloved architectural form. Featuring houses across the country, the book will be of interest to owners of Tudor houses, homeowners generally, interior designers, and architectural enthusiasts. A beloved architectural form, the Tudor house is one of America's keystones--a type of home that has attracted families for more than a century. Its basic elements--steep gabled roofs, mullioned windows made of leaded glass, and half-timbering--are instantly recognizable and iconic. This volume is a celebration of the style through beautiful new photography, featuring homes from New York to California, and Virginia to Illinois.
