Pueblo Revival, popular between 1905 and 1940, basically imitates the
Native American pueblos of the Southwest. The key distinguishing
elements are the projecting roof rafters called vigas. These
are generally round or square rafter ends protruding from the
wall near the roofline. The roof of the Pueblo Revival structure
is usually flat or slightly sloping behind a low parapet. Second
and third stories are occasionally stepped or terraced. Round
corners, battered walls and straight-headed windows are also
characteristic. Most structures are stucco and meant to imitate
the adobe walls of the Indian pueblo. Some houses may combine
elements of the Spanish Colonial Revival with the Pueblo Revival style. |
