Driving around Fort Worth, you’ll likely spot a range of architectural styles — like mid-century masterpieces or Victorian mansions. If you’re like us, seeing a stately Spanish Revival home takes you back to Texas’ roots.

What’s that?

Spanish Colonial Revival architecture — aka Spanish Eclectic style or Spanish Revival — was popularized in the early 20th century, following the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. It draws on design elements from Spain’s early American colonial settlements + is characterized by stucco walls, tile roofs, arched openings, and decorative ironwork.
