Spanish Colonial Revival architecture shares certain elements with the closely-related Mission Revival and Pueblo styles of the West and Southwest. Characterized by a combination of detail from several eras of Spanish and Mexican architecture, the style is marked by the prodigious use of smooth plaster (stucco) wall and chimney finishes, low-pitched clay tile, shed, or flat roofs, and terra cotta or cast concrete ornaments. Other characteristics typically include small porches or balconies, Roman or semi-circular arcades and fenestration, tall, double–hung windows, canvas awnings, and decorative iron trim. The Mission Revival Style was an architectural movement that began in the late 19th century and drew inspiration from the early Spanish Missions of California. ...
