Between 1890-1940 English Tudor style homes became popular in America. The style was sometimes referred to as "Stockbroker Tudor" in the early twentieth century because it was a style favored by wealthy people who made their fortunes in the boom period of the 1920s. Some of the characteristics of this style include elaborate clusters of chimneys, pitched gable roofs, embellished doorways, an abundance of windows, and decorative exposed wooden framework. English Tudor style homes were meant to evoke the style of English royalty during the 15th and 16th centuries. The interior of Tudor revival homes also had certain characteristics including, a great hall and beam ceilings. This was a style that became popular in homes in Pasadena, California.
