Period Revival Building Styles, 1890-1940
English Cottage, 1920-1940
The primary distinguishing characteristic between this style and the English Tudor style is the construction materials; otherwise these two styles share similar forms, massing, and floor plans. Stucco and false half-timber exterior treatments provide the identity for the English Tudor style, whereas the English Cottage style relies on an all-brick exterior. Otherwise, these two styles are identical. (See English Tudor style.)
Characteristics:
--all brick exterior
--same asymmetrical massing and steeply pitched gabled roof as English Tudor
--typically not as large as English Tudor-style houses
