Brick Tudor Revival Cottage. Brick became the preferred wall surface for even the most modest tudor cottages after masonry veneering was popularized in the 1920s. This style and its cousin the english cottage continues to be extremely popular and still influences contemporary american architecture.
This home features two front gables and brick wall cladding. The cottage style variant is generally smaller and more common. The facades of tudor style homes are often dominated by one or more prominent steeply pitched cross gables.

Steeply pitched gables the tudor revival style traded the thatched roof of very early english homes for steeply pitched gables often clad in slate and well suited to cool wet climates. From the 1880s onwards tudor revival concentrated more on the simple but quaintly picturesque elizabethan cottage rather than the brick and battlemented splendours of hampton court or compton wynyates large and small houses alike with half timbering in their upper storeys and gables were completed with tall ornamental chimneys in what was originally a simple cottage style. The storybook style also borrows from tudor revival elements. It is frequently found in house pattern books of the 1920s and 30s.
