As I mentioned the other day, when I was out looking at houses with a French influence, I also found a lot with an English influence, specifically mock Tudor. 
Some of the more common characteristics of a mock Tudor, or Tudor revival house are:
Decorative half-timbering, or exposed wood framing usually dark in color
Stucco facade (light-colored) or patterned brickwork between timbers 
Tall, narrow windows in groups of three or more 
Small, diamond-shaped window panes or square-shaped panes set diagonally 
A Tudor chimney is a stepped-back chimney,often massive in size and decorative chimney pots which may top ornate chimneys 
Steeply pitched roof usually covered with slate or wood shingles 
Prominent cross gables and overlapping gables 
A Tudor-arched entrance uses a shallow arch
Here are a few more examples that caught my eye.
This is one of my favourite houses. I love the windows on the upper floor. If it was in Britain, the roof would be thatched. This one’s slate.
Another perennial favourite. This house sat empty for year and years. Then some friends bought it and had a huge “banishing the ghosts” party. Right after that, someone offered them cash for the house and they sold!
This is the oldest planned shopping center in the US. It now houses restaurants, banks and shops on the ground floor and offices above that.
The firehouse next door to the shopping center echoes the design of the side of the center.
This building used to be the home of Girls’ Latin School, but it’s been divided up into apartments. I am sure they’re great spaces.
Which house do you like best?
