Part 7/12:
In the early 20th century, Tudor Revival architecture or "mock Tudor" gained traction in the U.S., inspired by medieval English homes. Featuring steep roofs, decorative half-timbering, and tall chimneys, these homes appealed to the wealthy homeowners of the 1920s and 1930s. While this style was synonymous with old-world craftsmanship, its popularity waned post-World War II, leading to simplified versions that employed synthetic materials by the 1970s and 1980s.
