Tudor home

Elizabethan-era residence style

A Tudor home is a house built in or imitating the architectural style popular in England during the Tudor period (1485–1603).

The style features distinctive half-timbering—dark wooden beams against white stucco walls—along with steeply pitched roofs, tall chimneys, and leaded glass windows.

Most American Tudor homes date from the early twentieth century: The neighborhood was full of Tudor homes with their characteristic black-and-white facades.
