Tudor Revival

Steep roofs, heavy masonry, prominent chimneys, picturesque massing. The houses that look older than they are.

171 Springdale Road: brick below, siding above, and the arched stone door surround the style is known for. Photograph from the association's files.

Steeply pitched roofs, often with a front-facing gable; brick or stone walls, sometimes with false half-timbering in the gables; tall chimneys with chimney pots; casement windows in groups; an arched or heavily framed front door. Tudors in Springdale tend to be asymmetrical and to make the most of a deep lot.

Come and see it.

The best way to know Springdale is to walk it: fifteen stops, about a mile and a quarter.
