Tudor
& English Revival
The English Revival occurred in Denver between
the World Wars. While purists would consider the structures
more "eclectic", Denver's Tudors were most
popular after Colonial
Revival (including the simplified Denver
Square) styles. Other English Revival influences
include the Jacobian and Elizabethan.
Prominent features include steep pitched roofs with
front and side gables, half timbering, elaborate brickwork,
terra cotta detailing, tall chimneys and grouped casement
windows.
Tudor homes are commonly found in Country
Club, Park Hill,
Bonnie Brae,
Hilltop and Montclair.

Mrs. Verner Z Reed Mansion
One of Denver's finest example of the Tudor Revival
style was this house built by Harry James Manning.
Set on two and a half acres, this English Manor is
surrounded by elegant landscaping by Denver's well
known landscape architect, Saco R. DeBoer. Some of
the finest craftsmanship in Denver was both imported
and commissioned by local artisans include custom
made wrought iron and bronze window frames. |

2800 Block of Milwaukee
Tudor Cottages fill this block built by John
Oswald, who included his own home at 2810 Milwaukee
Street. These more modest cottage structures replaced
the bungalow in popularity in the late 1920s and 1930s.
Steep gable entry pavilions and arched doors on small
uncovered porches and the use of wrought iron was
the norm. Oswald built over 200 Tudor cottages throughout
Denver. |
