English Tudor Architecture

Eclectic Influences

The architecture of the United Kingdom, or British architecture, consists of an eclectic combination of architectural styles. During the second half the 19th century, Tudor-style architecture was revived in Great Britain and made its way to the US where it was incorporated into homes across America for about 50 years, finally giving way to a streamlined, smaller style that became known as English Cottage. The Storybook style also borrows from Tudor Revival elements.
