Tudor
Half-timbered house style
Tudor refers to the English royal dynasty that ruled from 1485 to 1603, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
The term describes the distinctive architectural style of that era—half-timbered facades with dark wooden beams against white plaster, steeply pitched roofs, and ornamental chimneys: a Tudor mansion, Tudor revival homes in the suburbs.
