Denver's Architectural Styles

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.

537 Circle Drive
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.

101 Dahlia

Hilltop

100 Block of Bellaire

A grander version of the Tudor cottage, this block of two story cottages was constructed in 1937 by GN Smedegaard on the west side of Cranmer Park.
